Podotech Poron XRD Shock Absorbing Insoles
Podotech Poron XRD Shock Absorbing Insoles are designed to absorb shock and impact in individuals suffering with shin, hip, knee and back pain. Built with a flexible Poron foam foundation, Podotech XRD Shoe Insoles are all about protection and shielding the feet from being weakened/injured by the shock that comes from general day to day activities such as walking, jogging or running.
What's Included?
90% Shock Reduction
Poron XRD is soft when it is at room/body temperature, fitting to the feet and providing comfort and support. Upon an impact, however, it becomes much harder and therefore absorbs the force of this impact and reduces the shock that is able to get through to the foot. Poron XRD absorbs more than 90% of the impact to form a great underfoot shield against shockwaves and impact.

- Length: 300mm

How Do Podotech Poron Foam XRD Insoles Work?
Podotech Poron XRD Insoles are designed to slide right into your trainers, boots or shoes to form a thin base layer that reduces shock, impact, stress and strain on your ankles, shins, knees and hips. The use of Poron foam that's 3.2mm thick makes sure harmful shockwaves that can cause pain in your joints isn't able to travel all the way up your body to aggravate pain and cause discomfort.
How Does Poron Help Protect My Feet and Joints?
The feet are the first point of contact with the floor. This means that shock, impact and stress all travel through the feet before reaching other potentially painful parts of the body. Podotech Dual Layer Insoles use a twin-layer design to help absorb harmful shockwaves before they make their way up the body.
What's So Special About Poron Foam?
Poron is an incredibly flexible microcellular urethane that sets itself apart from the rest because of its incredibly high compression resistance. This means you can apply a large amount of force to Poron, and it will simply spring back into its original, rigid shape.
It is commonly used to make insoles designed for shock absorption because of its dense, compressed feel. This base layer sucks up shockwaves before they can make their way up the body, making Poron an excellent base material choice for anyone suffering from shin splints, knee pain or hip pain.

Do I Wear My Podotech Insoles Underneath Another Insole?
No, Podotech XRD Insoles are designed to stand alone inside your shoes to provide an optimal level of support. You can either remove the existing footbed from your shoes or simply place your Podotech Shock Absorbing Insoles over the top of the footbed in your trainers or shoes.
Who Can Benefit from the Poron XRD?
The Poron XRD can be used by anyone desiring a little extra protection against the impact of everyday life. When we place our feet on the ground, it creates an impact. This shock radiates up through the feet and legs, causing damage and weakening the ligaments, tendons and joints in the feet, ankles, knees and hips.
The Poron XRD is a contoured insole, fitting to the shape of the individual foot and providing comfort and support in the process. However, this contouring dissipates upon force and forms a strong layer of protection between the foot and the impact. This protects the feet and legs and stops them from becoming damaged across the course of time.

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.
