Podotech Low Density Valgus Pads
Finding the right level of support even when customising your own orthotics can be a challenge. With the Podotech Low Density Valgus Pads, however, support and comfort is taken into account to help you give your feet the stability they need.
Who can benefit from the Valgus Pads?
The Valgus Pads are designed to be used with the various Insole Express Kits. This means they can suit a number of different people. They are particularly beneficial for those suffering from the following conditions:
- Pronation
- Over-pronation
- Arch Strain
The pads are positioned in the medial longitudinal arch in the feet. This helps to correct the roll of the foot and position it back to a more natural walking position. The different lengths means you can find the one that spans the width of your feet to offer full support.
Features of the Low Density Valgus Pads
Rather than having a focus on the rise of the pads, these are instead focusing on the softness of the material. The low density material means the pads provide more comfort for the feet, relieving pressure, pain and discomfort caused on this area of the foot through the strain of everyday life. The soft foam is cushioning and supportive of strained feet.
The pads come in a variety of sizes to make sure you can find the ones that are best suited for your feet. The pads are available in the following sizes:
| Size | Length |
| Size 1 | 6cm |
| Size 2 | 7cm |
| Size 3 | 8cm |
| Size 4 | 10cm |
| Size 5 | 12cm |
| Size 6 | 13cm |
How Do I Correctly Fit My Valgus Pad?
Due to micro-nuances and differences in the shape and size of every persons feet, we recommend that you visit a podiatrist to have your Podotech Pad fitted.
If you are already aware of the position required, we recommend taking an adhesive strip or piece of sticky tape and pressing down until they are firmly in place.
Fitting Tips and Tricks
- Visit a podiatrist to confirm the affected area
- If you're unsure of exact placement, experiment with the position across the rough area
- If you find the perfect area, trace the outline of the pad using a marker against your insole for future reference
- Use strong adhesive strips to apply your a pad to your insoles or tape it down using a thin strip of kinesiology tape
The pads have a hardness of 35 - 40 Shore A.
They are available as either a single pair or in packs of five.

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.
