Podotech Cobra Pads With High Internal Arch
Finding the right amount of support for your entire foot can be a challenge. However, with the Podotech Cobra Pads With High Internal Arch, you can support the whole of your foot with only one component. For use with the various Express Kits available from Podotech, the Cobra Pads help with the correction of pronation.
Who Can Benefit from the Cobra Pads?
The Cobra Pads offer support and comfort for the whole of the foot. The shape of them allows support to be administered from the heel all the way through to the forefoot. They are particularly suitable from people suffering from the following conditions:
- Forefoot Pronation
- Rearfoot Pronation
The pads can be positioned in either shoe, providing support throughout the whole of the foot. It does this due to the way the curve offers a heel wedge, then it extends under the arch and provides a plantar filler before stretching forward and forming a forefoot wedge. The combination of the wedges provides support and stability the whole way through the foot. It also helps to correct pronation in all of these areas across the foot.
The High Internal Arch means the pads focus on the pronation caused in the centre of the foot. The High Arch helps to correct this position, realigning the foot into a more natural position. This then helps the correction with the rest of the foot and helps to aid conditions such as pronation and rolling of the ankle.
Adheres to Your Current Insoles
Using either spray adhesive or double sided tape these pads can be attached to your current insoles, providing even more comfort and protection. This is perfect for people with multiple foot conditions, especially if you have one leg shorter than the other as you can use insoles or pads in just one of your shoes.
Features of the Cobra Pads
The Cobra pads are available in a range of sizes that can match your shoe size in order to get the best fit possible for everyone involved.
The pads have a hardness of 15 - 20 Shore A.
They are available as either a single pair or a pack of five pairs.
Are the Cobra Pads Reusable?
Once the Podotech Cobra Pads have been added to your insoles, they should provide approximately 6 months of support (although this can alter depending on your usage). If you are using multiple pairs of shoes, we would recommend buying multiple pairs to save on time and effort.
How Does the Podotech Express Kit Work?
Alongside the recommendation and guidance of a podiatrist, the Podotech Express Kit allows you to tailor and customise a flat insole using a range of different bespoke orthotic components. To find out more, please take a look at the link below:

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit
Using Your Shoe Size
For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.
Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.
Measuring Your Current Insoles
While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.
To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:
- Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
- Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
- Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results
Where Can I Find the Dimensions?
The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.
The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab
What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?
If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.
Trimming Your Insoles to Fit
To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:
- Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
- Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
- Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
- Carefully cut along the traced line
- Your insoles should now fit your shoes better
Carefully trace the outline of your insole
Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
