The range
Four products, each built for a different kind of sore foot. Not sure which one? Start with the insoles.




Why it works
Most insoles only cushion. They feel good for twenty minutes, then flatten under your body weight and leave your feet unsupported for the rest of the day. That is why the pain keeps coming back.
Proper arch support promotes better spine alignment, so the ache stops travelling up from your feet into your knees and lower back.
The support adds a spring to each step, which is what makes walking and standing feel easier for longer.
Cut along the guide line with scissors and the same pair fits trainers, work boots, school shoes or formal shoes.
20+ years of insole design went into the arch shape, the heel cup and where the massage nodes sit. Not just a thicker layer of foam.
Our story
Both of them spent all day on their feet, and both came home with the same complaint.
My dad worked construction. My mum was a teacher. I wanted to do something about it, so I found a podiatrist with 20 years of experience making insoles and we got to work.
After a lot of research, prototypes and trial and error, we created FreshStep: insoles designed to relieve pressure and bring comfort to people who work on their feet all day. People like my parents.
Verified reviews
As a nurse who's on her feet for 12-hour shifts, ActiveFlex has been a game changer. My feet feel supported all day and I recover so much faster after my shifts.
I've tried so many insoles over the years and nothing comes close to ActiveFlex. The arch support is incredible and my knee pain has reduced significantly. Highly recommend!
Ordered ActiveFlex after a friend recommended it and I'm so glad I did. The quality is exceptional and delivery was super fast. My plantar fasciitis pain is almost gone!
