PBS has been working with the healthcare sector for at least 30 years, developing in an intelligent and innovative way a branch of production dedicated to comfort soles, which we have discussed here / will discuss in the next article.
The sole used for orthopedic healthcare is mainly made of microporous material and is especially in demand in Northern Europe.
Applications range from corrective soles for posture defects, to pre-formed soles designed to relieve specific orthopedic conditions, and even for diabetic foot.
The latter requires specially designed soles that can intelligently redistribute plantar pressures inside the shoe. Since all our products are fully customizable, we offer a specific analysis of the foot’s sole in order to create a tailored sole that meets each customer’s needs.
The benefits of orthopedic soles are clear: they alleviate or prevent orthopedic issues, ensure comfort and flexibility, and are designed to provide maximum support and safety for the foot of users requiring such care.
All this is made possible by using materials with different densities, which are then manually bonded together: we refer to “shore” (the material’s density), which varies depending on whether the part:
-
touches the ground – providing greater flexibility and resilience, or
-
supports the foot – offering softer cushioning, tailored to the user’s orthopedic anatomy.
