Formthotics™ 3D Additions: Reversible Forefoot Wedges An orthotic addition suitable for forefoot modification of Formthotics Can be reversed to use on either lateral or medial aspect Easy to modify Long gentle taper Self-adhesive Formthotics™ - Custom Medical Orthotics Formthotics™ are a total contact foot orthotic – achieved by thermoforming (heat-moulding) the device and fitting it to the patients foot. They are made from Formax™, a high grade proprietary thermoformable polyolefin closed cell foam. With greater mouldability than other foams, it will hold a molded shape longer, better and more accurately than other orthotic devices. As a total contact foot orthotic, Formthotics™ provide the best possible neuromotor facilitation and biomechanical control. Biomechanical control – Formthotics™ deliver on the mechanical theory by applying pressure to the sole of the foot, altering the posture and movement of the subtalar and other joints. This changes the posture and mechanical function of higher structures in the body. Neuromotor facilitation – Scientific literature indicates that orthotics have significant effects on balance, stability and the EMG activity of various muscles. It is also stated that orthotics – and more so those that fit closely to the shape of the foot – alter the stimulation of various mechanoreceptor end organs change the afferent input to the nervous system, as well as the efferent neural signals going to the various muscles. Formthotics™ have immediate reflex benefits and longer term positive effects on foot posture, balance and motor patterns. Formthotics are a tool trusted by medical professionals. Formthotics stabilise your feet and lower limbs, allowing other components of your treatment to be more effective, more rapidly. This helps to reduce foot and posture related pain, injury and muscle fatigue so you can recover more quickly. Formthotics are reliable. Used by millions across the world over the past 30 years. Formthotics are a consistently high quality device, proven in research to reduce pain, treat and prevent injuries, and improve comfort. Why do we need foot support? Humans have walked the planet for thousands of years, shouldn’t we be pretty good at moving by now? Why do so many of us need orthotics to help stabilise and support our feet? l Over the past 200 years, our environment has changed considerably. Our feet were designed to suit a softer terrain, but now we live on mostly hard, flat concrete surfaces and our feet are forced to flatten and twist with every step. l Our lifestyles have changed. We are more sedentary in daily lives, spending much of our time at a desk or in front of a TV. Our feet are now less accustomed to activity. When we physically challenge ourselves, the joints, muscles and tendons are put under strain they are not used to. l Modern day footwear does not always support the feet. High heels, pointy toe shoes, shoes with little support or structure, sandals or generally poor fitting shoes cause blisters and unnecessary pain. Often we wear these shoes for their good looks, but how can we minimise the pain they cause? What are Formthotics? Formthotics™ are a revolutionary custom foot orthotic. They are used for the treatment of lower limb injuries as well as for injury prevention, enhanced performance and improved comfort. Formthotics™ are a customised by thermoforming (heat moulding) to the patient’s foot and shoe and fully adjustable by additional posting and grinding. Formthotics™ are heat moulded to your foot for a truly customised fit, better support and control. Thermoforming optimises the performance of Formthotics creating a close, personalised fit between the foot and footwear. Research and studies indicate that most people can benefit from the use of custom orthotics in their footwear. This modern environment induces mechanical and neuro-motor adaptations in lower extremity function. These are stressful to tissues and will be revealed as "overuse" syndromes if loading is increased or the natural resilience of the tissues is decreased by aging or injury. Formthotics™ "naturalise" the interface between the body and the environment with beneficial effects on musculoskeletal function, health and enjoyment of life. A key element in the success of this method is creating total contact foot orthoses. This can be done best by thermoforming Formthotics™. The Formax™ foam will hold a moulded shape longer, better and more accurately than any EVA. Formthotics™ have proven effectiveness in reducing pain, treating and preventing injuries and improving patient comfort. Who designs and makes Formthotics? Formthotics™ were invented by Dr Charlie Baycroft (previously Medical Director of Foot Science International) in conjunction with help and expert advice from podiatrists, sports medicine specialists and physiotherapists. They have been manufactured in Christchurch New Zealand by Foot Science International for over 30 years. What are Formthotics made from? They are made from the unique, proprietary PE Foam called Formax™, a type of chemically cross-linked closed cell Polyethylene foam. This foam is very different from EVA that most other foam insoles are made from. Formax™ is completely thermoformable (heat mouldable), which means they can change shapeat relatively low temperatures. Its closed cell structure means it is completely waterproof and doesnt absorb bacteria or germs. Formthotics™ are antimicrobial. This is due to the nature of the closed cell foam as no contaminants are absorbed and also due to the added antimicrobial agent, Ultra-Fresh™, which prevents growth of bacteria and fungi. Independent laboratory tests show that Formax™ foam has a 100% surface inhibition of A.niger and S.aureus. The Formthotics™ Difference Thermoformable l Formthotics™ are heat moulded to your foot for a truly customised fit, better support and control. l Thermoforming optimises the performance of Formthotics creating a close, personalised fit between the foot and footwear. l Formthotics can be thermoformed any number of times and will retain their new shape (even after intense use and re-heating) to ensure lasting total support. l Formthotics are mouldable at relatively low temperatures. In comparison, most other foam orthotics that are compression moulded – typically EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam – cannot effectively be moulded or remoulded. The heat and compression moulding manufacturing process alters the EVA cell structure, preventing the foam from holding a new shape when fitted; this forces the foam to return to the original manufactured shape. Arch support l The arch support ensures your foot is supported in a neutral position, providing longitudinal, lateral and transverse arch support under the metatarsal heads. l The Formthotics arch support is assisted by a unique teardrop shape milled into the foam on the underneath side of Formthotics. Milling the material from the outside (lateral) edge enhances support on the inside (medial) edge. Heel cup l The deep heel cup creates a snug 3 dimensional fit around the heel, assisting with shock absorption and minimising heel strike. l The Formthotics deep heel cup provides increased support and control around your heel, creating a more accurate fit to your footwear that is customised to your feet. Antimicrobial l Formthotics are antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal. l Formthotics contain Ultra-Fresh™ which inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi that create foot odour and staining, keeping your feet healthy. Formax™ l Formax™ is made from high grade ‘closed cell’, proprietary polyethylene foam. The foam is firmer and will hold a moulded shape longer and more accurately than EVA foam. It is flexible, lightweight, supportive, waterproof, resistant to fungi and mould, and hypo-allergenic. l Formax™ is available in single density (one foam layer) and dual density (two foam layers) providing a harder, supportive base for control and a softer top foam layer for cushioning. There are a variety of densities (foam hardness) to meet performance and comfort requirements. ShockStop l ShockStop is a hybrid EVA polymer foam for maximum shock absorption and cushioning. This minimises impact on muscles, joints and tendons and enables a faster recovery after performance. Independent lab tests have shown that ShockStop is more than twice as effective as other materials in absorbing shock. l Formax™ and ShockStop foams are made by New Zealand-based Ultralon Foam International Ltd. Ultralon is recognised as a world leader in the manufacturing of high quality closed cell foam. 3D Milling l Formthotics™ are 3D milled from a block of foam. This process creates a consistent foam structure across the orthotic, minimising pressure points. l Formthotics use a unique manufacturing process where the foam is 3D milled from a block, not compressed or injection moulded like many other foam orthotics. l Because Formthotics are 3D milled, the foam structure remains consistent and does not have heavily compressed thin areas associated with compression moulded foam, and the foam still has the ability to be moulded. l The 3D milling of Formthotics ensure the heel, arch and forefoot structure of our feet are supported in the correct way and the thermoforming provides a customised fit for your feet. Shapes l Different activities require different types of support and fit into different shoes for different people. Formthotics™ are shaped to suit your activity requirements. l Formthotics have varied width, length, arch profile, heel profile, toe box shape and foam density options to suit the needs of your activity, ensuring they fit into the shoes required for your activity. For example, football boots have limited space available inside and do not need to heavily rely on arch support compared to other activities such as running, where there is also generally more space in the shoe to fit Formthotics. Formthotics shapes have been developed over many years, following feedback from activity enthusiasts and medical professionals. Medical FAQ l Do they come in different sizes? Yes Formthotics™ come in size XXS (previously called Kids) through to XXL. They also come in various shapes, arch profiles and foam hardness. See our size chart that is found in each of the product detail pages to find your size. l How long will a set of Formthotics last? Formthotics™ will normally outlast the pair of shoes in which they are fitted. Even with heavy use most people should get a minimum of 12 months life from a pair of Formthotics™.Formthotics™ have a 30 day warranty. l Can Formthotics be cleaned ? Yes you can. Simply wash them in cold or warm water with a little detergent and rinse with water. Dry them with a towel and replace them in your shoes. The Formax™ foam is waterproof and does not absorb sweat, preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi which causes foot odour and may lead to infection or athlete’s foot (tinea).

This foam is very different from EVA that most other foam insoles are made from. Formax™ is completely thermoformable (heat mouldable), which means they can change shapeat relatively low temperatures. Its closed cell structure means it is completely waterproof and doesnt absorb bacteria or germs. Formthotics™ are antimicrobial. This is due to the nature of the closed cell foam as no contaminants are absorbed and also due to the added antimicrobial agent, Ultra-Fresh™, which prevents growth of bacteria and fungi. Independent laboratory tests show that Formax™ foam has a 100% surface inhibition of A.niger and S.aureus. The Formthotics™ Difference Thermoformable l Formthotics™ are heat moulded to your foot for a truly customised fit, better support and control. l Thermoforming optimises the performance of Formthotics creating a close, personalised fit between the foot and footwear. l Formthotics can be thermoformed any number of times and will retain their new shape (even after intense use and re-heating) to ensure lasting total support. l Formthotics are mouldable at relatively low temperatures. In comparison, most other foam orthotics that are compression moulded – typically EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam – cannot effectively be moulded or remoulded. The heat and compression moulding manufacturing process alters the EVA cell structure, preventing the foam from holding a new shape when fitted; this forces the foam to return to the original manufactured shape. Arch support l The arch support ensures your foot is supported in a neutral position, providing longitudinal, lateral and transverse arch support under the metatarsal heads. l The Formthotics arch support is assisted by a unique teardrop shape milled into the foam on the underneath side of Formthotics. Milling the material from the outside (lateral) edge enhances support on the inside (medial) edge. Heel cup l The deep heel cup creates a snug 3 dimensional fit around the heel, assisting with shock absorption and minimising heel strike. l The Formthotics deep heel cup provides increased support and control around your heel, creating a more accurate fit to your footwear that is customised to your feet. Antimicrobial l Formthotics are antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal. l Formthotics contain Ultra-Fresh™ which inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi that create foot odour and staining, keeping your feet healthy. Formax™ l Formax™ is made from high grade ‘closed cell’, proprietary polyethylene foam. The foam is firmer and will hold a moulded shape longer and more accurately than EVA foam. It is flexible, lightweight, supportive, waterproof, resistant to fungi and mould, and hypo-allergenic. l Formax™ is available in single density (one foam layer) and dual density (two foam layers) providing a harder, supportive base for control and a softer top foam layer for cushioning. There are a variety of densities (foam hardness) to meet performance and comfort requirements. ShockStop l ShockStop is a hybrid EVA polymer foam for maximum shock absorption and cushioning. This minimises impact on muscles, joints and tendons and enables a faster recovery after performance. Independent lab tests have shown that ShockStop is more than twice as effective as other materials in absorbing shock. l Formax™ and ShockStop foams are made by New Zealand-based Ultralon Foam International Ltd. Ultralon is recognised as a world leader in the manufacturing of high quality closed cell foam. 3D Milling l Formthotics™ are 3D milled from a block of foam. This process creates a consistent foam structure across the orthotic, minimising pressure points. l Formthotics use a unique manufacturing process where the foam is 3D milled from a block, not compressed or injection moulded like many other foam orthotics. l Because Formthotics are 3D milled, the foam structure remains consistent and does not have heavily compressed thin areas associated with compression moulded foam, and the foam still has the ability to be moulded. l The 3D milling of Formthotics ensure the heel, arch and forefoot structure of our feet are supported in the correct way and the thermoforming provides a customised fit for your feet. Shapes l Different activities require different types of support and fit into different shoes for different people. Formthotics™ are shaped to suit your activity requirements. l Formthotics have varied width, length, arch profile, heel profile, toe box shape and foam density options to suit the needs of your activity, ensuring they fit into the shoes required for your activity. For example, football boots have limited space available inside and do not need to heavily rely on arch support compared to other activities such as running, where there is also generally more space in the shoe to fit Formthotics. Formthotics shapes have been developed over many years, following feedback from activity enthusiasts and medical professionals. Medical FAQ l Do they come in different sizes? Yes Formthotics™ come in size XXS (previously called Kids) through to XXL. They also come in various shapes, arch profiles and foam hardness. See our size chart that is found in each of the product detail pages to find your size. l How long will a set of Formthotics last? Formthotics™ will normally outlast the pair of shoes in which they are fitted. Even with heavy use most people should get a minimum of 12 months life from a pair of Formthotics™.Formthotics™ have a 30 day warranty. l Can Formthotics be cleaned ? Yes you can. Simply wash them in cold or warm water with a little detergent and rinse with water. Dry them with a towel and replace them in your shoes. The Formax™ foam is waterproof and does not absorb sweat, preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi which causes foot odour and may lead to infection or athlete’s foot (tinea). Formthotics™ have added protection of an antimicrobial product called Ultra-Fresh™ Formthotics™ 3D Additions: Reversible Forefoot Wedges Email for Quotation

Formthotics™ 3D Additions: Reversible Forefoot Wedges An orthotic addition suitable for forefoot modification of Formthotics Can be reversed to use on either lateral or medial aspect Easy to modify Long gentle taper Self-adhesive Formthotics™ - Custom Medical Orthotics Formthotics™ are a total contact foot orthotic – achieved by thermoforming (heat-moulding) the device and fitting it to the patients foot. They are made from Formax™, a high grade proprietary thermoformable polyolefin closed cell foam. With greater mouldability than other foams, it will hold a molded shape longer, better and more accurately than other orthotic devices. As a total contact foot orthotic, Formthotics™ provide the best possible neuromotor facilitation and biomechanical control. Biomechanical control – Formthotics™ deliver on the mechanical theory by applying pressure to the sole of the foot, altering the posture and movement of the subtalar and other joints. This changes the posture and mechanical function of higher structures in the body. Neuromotor facilitation – Scientific literature indicates that orthotics have significant effects on balance, stability and the EMG activity of various muscles. It is also stated that orthotics – and more so those that fit closely to the shape of the foot – alter the stimulation of various mechanoreceptor end organs change the afferent input to the nervous system, as well as the efferent neural signals going to the various muscles. Formthotics™ have immediate reflex benefits and longer term positive effects on foot posture, balance and motor patterns. Formthotics are a tool trusted by medical professionals. Formthotics stabilise your feet and lower limbs, allowing other components of your treatment to be more effective, more rapidly. This helps to reduce foot and posture related pain, injury and muscle fatigue so you can recover more quickly. Formthotics are reliable. Used by millions across the world over the past 30 years. Formthotics are a consistently high quality device, proven in research to reduce pain, treat and prevent injuries, and improve comfort. Why do we need foot support? Humans have walked the planet for thousands of years, shouldn’t we be pretty good at moving by now? Why do so many of us need orthotics to help stabilise and support our feet? l Over the past 200 years, our environment has changed considerably. Our feet were designed to suit a softer terrain, but now we live on mostly hard, flat concrete surfaces and our feet are forced to flatten and twist with every step. l Our lifestyles have changed. We are more sedentary in daily lives, spending much of our time at a desk or in front of a TV. Our feet are now less accustomed to activity. When we physically challenge ourselves, the joints, muscles and tendons are put under strain they are not used to. l Modern day footwear does not always support the feet. High heels, pointy toe shoes, shoes with little support or structure, sandals or generally poor fitting shoes cause blisters and unnecessary pain. Often we wear these shoes for their good looks, but how can we minimise the pain they cause? What are Formthotics? Formthotics™ are a revolutionary custom foot orthotic. They are used for the treatment of lower limb injuries as well as for injury prevention, enhanced performance and improved comfort. Formthotics™ are a customised by thermoforming (heat moulding) to the patient’s foot and shoe and fully adjustable by additional posting and grinding. Formthotics™ are heat moulded to your foot for a truly customised fit, better support and control. Thermoforming optimises the performance of Formthotics creating a close, personalised fit between the foot and footwear. Research and studies indicate that most people can benefit from the use of custom orthotics in their footwear. This modern environment induces mechanical and neuro-motor adaptations in lower extremity function. These are stressful to tissues and will be revealed as "overuse" syndromes if loading is increased or the natural resilience of the tissues is decreased by aging or injury. Formthotics™ "naturalise" the interface between the body and the environment with beneficial effects on musculoskeletal function, health and enjoyment of life. A key element in the success of this method is creating total contact foot orthoses. This can be done best by thermoforming Formthotics™. The Formax™ foam will hold a moulded shape longer, better and more accurately than any EVA. Formthotics™ have proven effectiveness in reducing pain, treating and preventing injuries and improving patient comfort. Who designs and makes Formthotics? Formthotics™ were invented by Dr Charlie Baycroft (previously Medical Director of Foot Science International) in conjunction with help and expert advice from podiatrists, sports medicine specialists and physiotherapists.

Yes Formthotics™ come in size XXS (previously called Kids) through to XXL. They also come in various shapes, arch profiles and foam hardness. See our size chart that is found in each of the product detail pages to find your size. l How long will a set of Formthotics last? Formthotics™ will normally outlast the pair of shoes in which they are fitted. Even with heavy use most people should get a minimum of 12 months life from a pair of Formthotics™.Formthotics™ have a 30 day warranty. l Can Formthotics be cleaned ? Yes you can. Simply wash them in cold or warm water with a little detergent and rinse with water. Dry them with a towel and replace them in your shoes. The Formax™ foam is waterproof and does not absorb sweat, preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi which causes foot odour and may lead to infection or athlete’s foot (tinea). Formthotics™ have added protection of an antimicrobial product called Ultra-Fresh™ Formthotics™ 3D Additions: Reversible Forefoot Wedges Email for Quotation

Formthotics™ 3D Additions: Reversible Forefoot Wedges An orthotic addition suitable for forefoot modification of Formthotics Can be reversed to use on either lateral or medial aspect Easy to modify Long gentle taper Self-adhesive Formthotics™ - Custom Medical Orthotics Formthotics™ are a total contact foot orthotic – achieved by thermoforming (heat-moulding) the device and fitting it to the patients foot. They are made from Formax™, a high grade proprietary thermoformable polyolefin closed cell foam. With greater mouldability than other foams, it will hold a molded shape longer, better and more accurately than other orthotic devices. As a total contact foot orthotic, Formthotics™ provide the best possible neuromotor facilitation and biomechanical control. Biomechanical control – Formthotics™ deliver on the mechanical theory by applying pressure to the sole of the foot, altering the posture and movement of the subtalar and other joints. This changes the posture and mechanical function of higher structures in the body. Neuromotor facilitation – Scientific literature indicates that orthotics have significant effects on balance, stability and the EMG activity of various muscles. It is also stated that orthotics – and more so those that fit closely to the shape of the foot – alter the stimulation of various mechanoreceptor end organs change the afferent input to the nervous system, as well as the efferent neural signals going to the various muscles. Formthotics™ have immediate reflex benefits and longer term positive effects on foot posture, balance and motor patterns. Formthotics are a tool trusted by medical professionals. Formthotics stabilise your feet and lower limbs, allowing other components of your treatment to be more effective, more rapidly. This helps to reduce foot and posture related pain, injury and muscle fatigue so you can recover more quickly. Formthotics are reliable. Used by millions across the world over the past 30 years. Formthotics are a consistently high quality device, proven in research to reduce pain, treat and prevent injuries, and improve comfort. Why do we need foot support? Humans have walked the planet for thousands of years, shouldn’t we be pretty good at moving by now? Why do so many of us need orthotics to help stabilise and support our feet? l Over the past 200 years, our environment has changed considerably. Our feet were designed to suit a softer terrain, but now we live on mostly hard, flat concrete surfaces and our feet are forced to flatten and twist with every step. l Our lifestyles have changed. We are more sedentary in daily lives, spending much of our time at a desk or in front of a TV. Our feet are now less accustomed to activity. When we physically challenge ourselves, the joints, muscles and tendons are put under strain they are not used to. l Modern day footwear does not always support the feet. High heels, pointy toe shoes, shoes with little support or structure, sandals or generally poor fitting shoes cause blisters and unnecessary pain. Often we wear these shoes for their good looks, but how can we minimise the pain they cause? What are Formthotics? Formthotics™ are a revolutionary custom foot orthotic. They are used for the treatment of lower limb injuries as well as for injury prevention, enhanced performance and improved comfort. Formthotics™ are a customised by thermoforming (heat moulding) to the patient’s foot and shoe and fully adjustable by additional posting and grinding. Formthotics™ are heat moulded to your foot for a truly customised fit, better support and control. Thermoforming optimises the performance of Formthotics creating a close, personalised fit between the foot and footwear. Research and studies indicate that most people can benefit from the use of custom orthotics in their footwear. This modern environment induces mechanical and neuro-motor adaptations in lower extremity function. These are stressful to tissues and will be revealed as "overuse" syndromes if loading is increased or the natural resilience of the tissues is decreased by aging or injury. Formthotics™ "naturalise" the interface between the body and the environment with beneficial effects on musculoskeletal function, health and enjoyment of life. A key element in the success of this method is creating total contact foot orthoses. This can be done best by thermoforming Formthotics™. The Formax™ foam will hold a moulded shape longer, better and more accurately than any EVA. Formthotics™ have proven effectiveness in reducing pain, treating and preventing injuries and improving patient comfort. Who designs and makes Formthotics? Formthotics™ were invented by Dr Charlie Baycroft (previously Medical Director of Foot Science International) in conjunction with help and expert advice from podiatrists, sports medicine specialists and physiotherapists. They have been manufactured in Christchurch New Zealand by Foot Science International for over 30 years. What are Formthotics made from? They are made from the unique, proprietary PE Foam called Formax™, a type of chemically cross-linked closed cell Polyethylene foam. This foam is very different from EVA that most other foam insoles are made from. Formax™ is completely thermoformable (heat mouldable), which means they can change shapeat relatively low temperatures. Its closed cell structure means it is completely waterproof and doesnt absorb bacteria or germs. Formthotics™ are antimicrobial. This is due to the nature of the closed cell foam as no contaminants are absorbed and also due to the added antimicrobial agent, Ultra-Fresh™, which prevents growth of bacteria and fungi. Independent laboratory tests show that Formax™ foam has a 100% surface inhibition of A.niger and S.aureus. The Formthotics™ Difference Thermoformable l Formthotics™ are heat moulded to your foot for a truly customised fit, better support and control. l Thermoforming optimises the performance of Formthotics creating a close, personalised fit between the foot and footwear. l Formthotics can be thermoformed any number of times and will retain their new shape (even after intense use and re-heating) to ensure lasting total support. l Formthotics are mouldable at relatively low temperatures. In comparison, most other foam orthotics that are compression moulded – typically EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam – cannot effectively be moulded or remoulded. The heat and compression moulding manufacturing process alters the EVA cell structure, preventing the foam from holding a new shape when fitted; this forces the foam to return to the original manufactured shape. Arch support l The arch support ensures your foot is supported in a neutral position, providing longitudinal, lateral and transverse arch support under the metatarsal heads. l The Formthotics arch support is assisted by a unique teardrop shape milled into the foam on the underneath side of Formthotics. Milling the material from the outside (lateral) edge enhances support on the inside (medial) edge. Heel cup l The deep heel cup creates a snug 3 dimensional fit around the heel, assisting with shock absorption and minimising heel strike. l The Formthotics deep heel cup provides increased support and control around your heel, creating a more accurate fit to your footwear that is customised to your feet. Antimicrobial l Formthotics are antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal. l Formthotics contain Ultra-Fresh™ which inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi that create foot odour and staining, keeping your feet healthy. Formax™ l Formax™ is made from high grade ‘closed cell’, proprietary polyethylene foam. The foam is firmer and will hold a moulded shape longer and more accurately than EVA foam. It is flexible, lightweight, supportive, waterproof, resistant to fungi and mould, and hypo-allergenic. l Formax™ is available in single density (one foam layer) and dual density (two foam layers) providing a harder, supportive base for control and a softer top foam layer for cushioning. There are a variety of densities (foam hardness) to meet performance and comfort requirements. ShockStop l ShockStop is a hybrid EVA polymer foam for maximum shock absorption and cushioning. This minimises impact on muscles, joints and tendons and enables a faster recovery after performance. Independent lab tests have shown that ShockStop is more than twice as effective as other materials in absorbing shock. l Formax™ and ShockStop foams are made by New Zealand-based Ultralon Foam International Ltd. Ultralon is recognised as a world leader in the manufacturing of high quality closed cell foam. 3D Milling l Formthotics™ are 3D milled from a block of foam. This process creates a consistent foam structure across the orthotic, minimising pressure points. l Formthotics use a unique manufacturing process where the foam is 3D milled from a block, not compressed or injection moulded like many other foam orthotics. l Because Formthotics are 3D milled, the foam structure remains consistent and does not have heavily compressed thin areas associated with compression moulded foam, and the foam still has the ability to be moulded. l The 3D milling of Formthotics ensure the heel, arch and forefoot structure of our feet are supported in the correct way and the thermoforming provides a customised fit for your feet. Shapes l Different activities require different types of support and fit into different shoes for different people. Formthotics™ are shaped to suit your activity requirements. l Formthotics have varied width, length, arch profile, heel profile, toe box shape and foam density options to suit the needs of your activity, ensuring they fit into the shoes required for your activity. For example, football boots have limited space available inside and do not need to heavily rely on arch support compared to other activities such as running, where there is also generally more space in the shoe to fit Formthotics. Formthotics shapes have been developed over many years, following feedback from activity enthusiasts and medical professionals. Medical FAQ l Do they come in different sizes?

Thermoforming optimises the performance of Formthotics creating a close, personalised fit between the foot and footwear. Research and studies indicate that most people can benefit from the use of custom orthotics in their footwear. This modern environment induces mechanical and neuro-motor adaptations in lower extremity function. These are stressful to tissues and will be revealed as "overuse" syndromes if loading is increased or the natural resilience of the tissues is decreased by aging or injury. Formthotics™ "naturalise" the interface between the body and the environment with beneficial effects on musculoskeletal function, health and enjoyment of life. A key element in the success of this method is creating total contact foot orthoses. This can be done best by thermoforming Formthotics™. The Formax™ foam will hold a moulded shape longer, better and more accurately than any EVA. Formthotics™ have proven effectiveness in reducing pain, treating and preventing injuries and improving patient comfort. Who designs and makes Formthotics? Formthotics™ were invented by Dr Charlie Baycroft (previously Medical Director of Foot Science International) in conjunction with help and expert advice from podiatrists, sports medicine specialists and physiotherapists. They have been manufactured in Christchurch New Zealand by Foot Science International for over 30 years. What are Formthotics made from? They are made from the unique, proprietary PE Foam called Formax™, a type of chemically cross-linked closed cell Polyethylene foam. This foam is very different from EVA that most other foam insoles are made from. Formax™ is completely thermoformable (heat mouldable), which means they can change shapeat relatively low temperatures. Its closed cell structure means it is completely waterproof and doesnt absorb bacteria or germs. Formthotics™ are antimicrobial. This is due to the nature of the closed cell foam as no contaminants are absorbed and also due to the added antimicrobial agent, Ultra-Fresh™, which prevents growth of bacteria and fungi. Independent laboratory tests show that Formax™ foam has a 100% surface inhibition of A.niger and S.aureus. The Formthotics™ Difference Thermoformable l Formthotics™ are heat moulded to your foot for a truly customised fit, better support and control. l Thermoforming optimises the performance of Formthotics creating a close, personalised fit between the foot and footwear. l Formthotics can be thermoformed any number of times and will retain their new shape (even after intense use and re-heating) to ensure lasting total support. l Formthotics are mouldable at relatively low temperatures. In comparison, most other foam orthotics that are compression moulded – typically EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam – cannot effectively be moulded or remoulded. The heat and compression moulding manufacturing process alters the EVA cell structure, preventing the foam from holding a new shape when fitted; this forces the foam to return to the original manufactured shape. Arch support l The arch support ensures your foot is supported in a neutral position, providing longitudinal, lateral and transverse arch support under the metatarsal heads. l The Formthotics arch support is assisted by a unique teardrop shape milled into the foam on the underneath side of Formthotics. Milling the material from the outside (lateral) edge enhances support on the inside (medial) edge. Heel cup l The deep heel cup creates a snug 3 dimensional fit around the heel, assisting with shock absorption and minimising heel strike. l The Formthotics deep heel cup provides increased support and control around your heel, creating a more accurate fit to your footwear that is customised to your feet. Antimicrobial l Formthotics are antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal. l Formthotics contain Ultra-Fresh™ which inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi that create foot odour and staining, keeping your feet healthy. Formax™ l Formax™ is made from high grade ‘closed cell’, proprietary polyethylene foam. The foam is firmer and will hold a moulded shape longer and more accurately than EVA foam. It is flexible, lightweight, supportive, waterproof, resistant to fungi and mould, and hypo-allergenic. l Formax™ is available in single density (one foam layer) and dual density (two foam layers) providing a harder, supportive base for control and a softer top foam layer for cushioning. There are a variety of densities (foam hardness) to meet performance and comfort requirements. ShockStop l ShockStop is a hybrid EVA polymer foam for maximum shock absorption and cushioning. This minimises impact on muscles, joints and tendons and enables a faster recovery after performance. Independent lab tests have shown that ShockStop is more than twice as effective as other materials in absorbing shock. l Formax™ and ShockStop foams are made by New Zealand-based Ultralon Foam International Ltd. Ultralon is recognised as a world leader in the manufacturing of high quality closed cell foam. 3D Milling l Formthotics™ are 3D milled from a block of foam. This process creates a consistent foam structure across the orthotic, minimising pressure points. l Formthotics use a unique manufacturing process where the foam is 3D milled from a block, not compressed or injection moulded like many other foam orthotics. l Because Formthotics are 3D milled, the foam structure remains consistent and does not have heavily compressed thin areas associated with compression moulded foam, and the foam still has the ability to be moulded. l The 3D milling of Formthotics ensure the heel, arch and forefoot structure of our feet are supported in the correct way and the thermoforming provides a customised fit for your feet. Shapes l Different activities require different types of support and fit into different shoes for different people. Formthotics™ are shaped to suit your activity requirements. l Formthotics have varied width, length, arch profile, heel profile, toe box shape and foam density options to suit the needs of your activity, ensuring they fit into the shoes required for your activity. For example, football boots have limited space available inside and do not need to heavily rely on arch support compared to other activities such as running, where there is also generally more space in the shoe to fit Formthotics. Formthotics shapes have been developed over many years, following feedback from activity enthusiasts and medical professionals. Medical FAQ l Do they come in different sizes? Yes Formthotics™ come in size XXS (previously called Kids) through to XXL. They also come in various shapes, arch profiles and foam hardness. See our size chart that is found in each of the product detail pages to find your size. l How long will a set of Formthotics last? Formthotics™ will normally outlast the pair of shoes in which they are fitted. Even with heavy use most people should get a minimum of 12 months life from a pair of Formthotics™.Formthotics™ have a 30 day warranty. l Can Formthotics be cleaned ? Yes you can. Simply wash them in cold or warm water with a little detergent and rinse with water. Dry them with a towel and replace them in your shoes. The Formax™ foam is waterproof and does not absorb sweat, preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi which causes foot odour and may lead to infection or athlete’s foot (tinea). Formthotics™ have added protection of an antimicrobial product called Ultra-Fresh™ Formthotics™ 3D Additions: Reversible Forefoot Wedges Email for Quotation

Formthotics™ 3D Additions: Reversible Forefoot Wedges An orthotic addition suitable for forefoot modification of Formthotics Can be reversed to use on either lateral or medial aspect Easy to modify Long gentle taper Self-adhesive Formthotics™ - Custom Medical Orthotics Formthotics™ are a total contact foot orthotic – achieved by thermoforming (heat-moulding) the device and fitting it to the patients foot. They are made from Formax™, a high grade proprietary thermoformable polyolefin closed cell foam. With greater mouldability than other foams, it will hold a molded shape longer, better and more accurately than other orthotic devices. As a total contact foot orthotic, Formthotics™ provide the best possible neuromotor facilitation and biomechanical control. Biomechanical control – Formthotics™ deliver on the mechanical theory by applying pressure to the sole of the foot, altering the posture and movement of the subtalar and other joints. This changes the posture and mechanical function of higher structures in the body. Neuromotor facilitation – Scientific literature indicates that orthotics have significant effects on balance, stability and the EMG activity of various muscles. It is also stated that orthotics – and more so those that fit closely to the shape of the foot – alter the stimulation of various mechanoreceptor end organs change the afferent input to the nervous system, as well as the efferent neural signals going to the various muscles. Formthotics™ have immediate reflex benefits and longer term positive effects on foot posture, balance and motor patterns. Formthotics are a tool trusted by medical professionals. Formthotics stabilise your feet and lower limbs, allowing other components of your treatment to be more effective, more rapidly. This helps to reduce foot and posture related pain, injury and muscle fatigue so you can recover more quickly. Formthotics are reliable. Used by millions across the world over the past 30 years. Formthotics are a consistently high quality device, proven in research to reduce pain, treat and prevent injuries, and improve comfort. Why do we need foot support? Humans have walked the planet for thousands of years, shouldn’t we be pretty good at moving by now? Why do so many of us need orthotics to help stabilise and support our feet? l Over the past 200 years, our environment has changed considerably. Our feet were designed to suit a softer terrain, but now we live on mostly hard, flat concrete surfaces and our feet are forced to flatten and twist with every step. l Our lifestyles have changed. We are more sedentary in daily lives, spending much of our time at a desk or in front of a TV. Our feet are now less accustomed to activity. When we physically challenge ourselves, the joints, muscles and tendons are put under strain they are not used to. l Modern day footwear does not always support the feet. High heels, pointy toe shoes, shoes with little support or structure, sandals or generally poor fitting shoes cause blisters and unnecessary pain. Often we wear these shoes for their good looks, but how can we minimise the pain they cause? What are Formthotics? Formthotics™ are a revolutionary custom foot orthotic. They are used for the treatment of lower limb injuries as well as for injury prevention, enhanced performance and improved comfort.

Ultralon is recognised as a world leader in the manufacturing of high quality closed cell foam. 3D Milling l Formthotics™ are 3D milled from a block of foam. This process creates a consistent foam structure across the orthotic, minimising pressure points. l Formthotics use a unique manufacturing process where the foam is 3D milled from a block, not compressed or injection moulded like many other foam orthotics. l Because Formthotics are 3D milled, the foam structure remains consistent and does not have heavily compressed thin areas associated with compression moulded foam, and the foam still has the ability to be moulded. l The 3D milling of Formthotics ensure the heel, arch and forefoot structure of our feet are supported in the correct way and the thermoforming provides a customised fit for your feet. Shapes l Different activities require different types of support and fit into different shoes for different people. Formthotics™ are shaped to suit your activity requirements. l Formthotics have varied width, length, arch profile, heel profile, toe box shape and foam density options to suit the needs of your activity, ensuring they fit into the shoes required for your activity. For example, football boots have limited space available inside and do not need to heavily rely on arch support compared to other activities such as running, where there is also generally more space in the shoe to fit Formthotics. Formthotics shapes have been developed over many years, following feedback from activity enthusiasts and medical professionals. Medical FAQ l Do they come in different sizes? Yes Formthotics™ come in size XXS (previously called Kids) through to XXL. They also come in various shapes, arch profiles and foam hardness. See our size chart that is found in each of the product detail pages to find your size. l How long will a set of Formthotics last? Formthotics™ will normally outlast the pair of shoes in which they are fitted. Even with heavy use most people should get a minimum of 12 months life from a pair of Formthotics™.Formthotics™ have a 30 day warranty. l Can Formthotics be cleaned ? Yes you can. Simply wash them in cold or warm water with a little detergent and rinse with water. Dry them with a towel and replace them in your shoes. The Formax™ foam is waterproof and does not absorb sweat, preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi which causes foot odour and may lead to infection or athlete’s foot (tinea). Formthotics™ have added protection of an antimicrobial product called Ultra-Fresh™ Formthotics™ 3D Additions: Reversible Forefoot Wedges Email for Quotation

Formthotics™ 3D Additions: Reversible Forefoot Wedges An orthotic addition suitable for forefoot modification of Formthotics Can be reversed to use on either lateral or medial aspect Easy to modify Long gentle taper Self-adhesive Formthotics™ - Custom Medical Orthotics Formthotics™ are a total contact foot orthotic – achieved by thermoforming (heat-moulding) the device and fitting it to the patients foot. They are made from Formax™, a high grade proprietary thermoformable polyolefin closed cell foam. With greater mouldability than other foams, it will hold a molded shape longer, better and more accurately than other orthotic devices. As a total contact foot orthotic, Formthotics™ provide the best possible neuromotor facilitation and biomechanical control. Biomechanical control – Formthotics™ deliver on the mechanical theory by applying pressure to the sole of the foot, altering the posture and movement of the subtalar and other joints. This changes the posture and mechanical function of higher structures in the body. Neuromotor facilitation – Scientific literature indicates that orthotics have significant effects on balance, stability and the EMG activity of various muscles. It is also stated that orthotics – and more so those that fit closely to the shape of the foot – alter the stimulation of various mechanoreceptor end organs change the afferent input to the nervous system, as well as the efferent neural signals going to the various muscles. Formthotics™ have immediate reflex benefits and longer term positive effects on foot posture, balance and motor patterns. Formthotics are a tool trusted by medical professionals. Formthotics stabilise your feet and lower limbs, allowing other components of your treatment to be more effective, more rapidly. This helps to reduce foot and posture related pain, injury and muscle fatigue so you can recover more quickly. Formthotics are reliable. Used by millions across the world over the past 30 years. Formthotics are a consistently high quality device, proven in research to reduce pain, treat and prevent injuries, and improve comfort. Why do we need foot support? Humans have walked the planet for thousands of years, shouldn’t we be pretty good at moving by now? Why do so many of us need orthotics to help stabilise and support our feet? l Over the past 200 years, our environment has changed considerably. Our feet were designed to suit a softer terrain, but now we live on mostly hard, flat concrete surfaces and our feet are forced to flatten and twist with every step. l Our lifestyles have changed. We are more sedentary in daily lives, spending much of our time at a desk or in front of a TV. Our feet are now less accustomed to activity. When we physically challenge ourselves, the joints, muscles and tendons are put under strain they are not used to. l Modern day footwear does not always support the feet. High heels, pointy toe shoes, shoes with little support or structure, sandals or generally poor fitting shoes cause blisters and unnecessary pain. Often we wear these shoes for their good looks, but how can we minimise the pain they cause? What are Formthotics? Formthotics™ are a revolutionary custom foot orthotic. They are used for the treatment of lower limb injuries as well as for injury prevention, enhanced performance and improved comfort. Formthotics™ are a customised by thermoforming (heat moulding) to the patient’s foot and shoe and fully adjustable by additional posting and grinding. Formthotics™ are heat moulded to your foot for a truly customised fit, better support and control. Thermoforming optimises the performance of Formthotics creating a close, personalised fit between the foot and footwear. Research and studies indicate that most people can benefit from the use of custom orthotics in their footwear. This modern environment induces mechanical and neuro-motor adaptations in lower extremity function. These are stressful to tissues and will be revealed as "overuse" syndromes if loading is increased or the natural resilience of the tissues is decreased by aging or injury. Formthotics™ "naturalise" the interface between the body and the environment with beneficial effects on musculoskeletal function, health and enjoyment of life. A key element in the success of this method is creating total contact foot orthoses. This can be done best by thermoforming Formthotics™. The Formax™ foam will hold a moulded shape longer, better and more accurately than any EVA. Formthotics™ have proven effectiveness in reducing pain, treating and preventing injuries and improving patient comfort. Who designs and makes Formthotics? Formthotics™ were invented by Dr Charlie Baycroft (previously Medical Director of Foot Science International) in conjunction with help and expert advice from podiatrists, sports medicine specialists and physiotherapists. They have been manufactured in Christchurch New Zealand by Foot Science International for over 30 years. What are Formthotics made from? They are made from the unique, proprietary PE Foam called Formax™, a type of chemically cross-linked closed cell Polyethylene foam. This foam is very different from EVA that most other foam insoles are made from. Formax™ is completely thermoformable (heat mouldable), which means they can change shapeat relatively low temperatures. Its closed cell structure means it is completely waterproof and doesnt absorb bacteria or germs. Formthotics™ are antimicrobial. This is due to the nature of the closed cell foam as no contaminants are absorbed and also due to the added antimicrobial agent, Ultra-Fresh™, which prevents growth of bacteria and fungi. Independent laboratory tests show that Formax™ foam has a 100% surface inhibition of A.niger and S.aureus. The Formthotics™ Difference Thermoformable l Formthotics™ are heat moulded to your foot for a truly customised fit, better support and control. l Thermoforming optimises the performance of Formthotics creating a close, personalised fit between the foot and footwear. l Formthotics can be thermoformed any number of times and will retain their new shape (even after intense use and re-heating) to ensure lasting total support. l Formthotics are mouldable at relatively low temperatures. In comparison, most other foam orthotics that are compression moulded – typically EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam – cannot effectively be moulded or remoulded. The heat and compression moulding manufacturing process alters the EVA cell structure, preventing the foam from holding a new shape when fitted; this forces the foam to return to the original manufactured shape. Arch support l The arch support ensures your foot is supported in a neutral position, providing longitudinal, lateral and transverse arch support under the metatarsal heads. l The Formthotics arch support is assisted by a unique teardrop shape milled into the foam on the underneath side of Formthotics. Milling the material from the outside (lateral) edge enhances support on the inside (medial) edge. Heel cup l The deep heel cup creates a snug 3 dimensional fit around the heel, assisting with shock absorption and minimising heel strike. l The Formthotics deep heel cup provides increased support and control around your heel, creating a more accurate fit to your footwear that is customised to your feet. Antimicrobial l Formthotics are antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal. l Formthotics contain Ultra-Fresh™ which inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi that create foot odour and staining, keeping your feet healthy. Formax™ l Formax™ is made from high grade ‘closed cell’, proprietary polyethylene foam. The foam is firmer and will hold a moulded shape longer and more accurately than EVA foam. It is flexible, lightweight, supportive, waterproof, resistant to fungi and mould, and hypo-allergenic. l Formax™ is available in single density (one foam layer) and dual density (two foam layers) providing a harder, supportive base for control and a softer top foam layer for cushioning. There are a variety of densities (foam hardness) to meet performance and comfort requirements. ShockStop l ShockStop is a hybrid EVA polymer foam for maximum shock absorption and cushioning. This minimises impact on muscles, joints and tendons and enables a faster recovery after performance. Independent lab tests have shown that ShockStop is more than twice as effective as other materials in absorbing shock. l Formax™ and ShockStop foams are made by New Zealand-based Ultralon Foam International Ltd.
