The Ortholite 'O-Therm' Insoles Enhance Wintertime Comfort

— March 2, 2021 — Fashion

The insoles make use of the brands new proprietary aerogel that is infused into open-cell PU foam to work in tandem to provide all-day comfort as well as heat insulating capabilities. The insoles come in at just three-times the weight of air and work by trapping warm air to keep the feet warmer for longer.

The Ortholite 'O-Therm' insoles were third-party tested where they were found to be 54% more effective than a breathable thermal barrier. The insoles measure in at just 2mm in thickness to ensure they can be used in a range of footwear styles.
