Comfortably.
— CORE active
Engineered for road and trail runners who demand cushioning, arch alignment, and energy return — every kilometre.
Built for the long haul
Every step you take shifts force through your foot in a specific pattern. CORE active aligns your foot's natural force line during walking — reducing the cumulative strain on your knees, hips, and lower back that builds up over long distances on any terrain.
A dual-layer cushioning system combines a soft upper foam that yields gently to your foot's shape with a firmer base that provides lasting support. Whether you're two miles in or twenty, comfort doesn't degrade as the hours pass.
Uneven terrain — roots, rocks, slopes — puts your heel and arch under constant lateral stress. A reinforced support structure anchors your foot against rolling and sliding, giving you confident footing on both flat pavements and technical trails.
A cartilage-like cushioning layer absorbs over 90% of heel strike impact — protecting the pressure points (heel, arch, and forefoot) that accumulate the most stress during extended walking or hiking. Less impact means less fatigue and fewer aches the next day.
A sports mesh top layer keeps moisture moving away from your skin throughout long days on your feet. Anti-fungal and anti-bacterial treated — keeping your boots and hiking shoes fresher for longer, even on multi-day adventures.
Designed for frequent, sustained use — not just occasional wear. Wear-resistant materials throughout mean CORE active holds its shape and performance over thousands of kilometres of trail, pavement, and everything in between.
Engineered for
the distance ahead.
-
①Forefoot — Step-by-Step Cushioning
A soft cartilage-style pad under the forefoot absorbs over 90% of each step's impact energy — protecting the metatarsal bones that accumulate the most stress during extended walking and hiking distances.
-
②Arch — Ergonomic Support Shell
A contoured polymer support shell follows the natural curve of the arch, providing personalised support that stabilises the midfoot on uneven terrain and prevents the fatigue that comes from unsupported walking.
-
③Heel — Long-Distance Cushion Cradle
A deep, high-density heel cushion cradle absorbs heel strike impact on every stride — reducing the jarring that travels up through your ankle, knee, and lower back during long days on hard or uneven surfaces.

Before you hit the trail
What footwear does CORE active work with?
CORE active is designed to fit a wide range of footwear — hiking boots, trail shoes, walking trainers, and everyday casual shoes. Remove your existing sock liner first for the best fit. The insole works particularly well in footwear with a standard volume toe box.
I get sore arches and heels on long walks — will this help?
Yes — this is exactly what CORE active is designed for. Arch and heel soreness during extended walking is almost always the result of insufficient support and cushioning in those pressure zones. CORE active's ergonomic arch support and deep heel cradle address both directly. Most customers notice significant improvement within the first few walks.
Will these work for multi-day hiking trips?
Absolutely. CORE active is built for sustained use — the materials are chosen for both long-term performance and durability. The breathable top layer helps manage moisture over consecutive days, and the cushioning system is designed to maintain its effectiveness through repeated high-mileage use.
What if they don't work for me?
We offer a 30-day money back guarantee. If you're not satisfied within 30 days of purchase, contact us and we'll arrange a full refund — no hassle.
What's the difference between CORE active and CUSTOM active?
CORE active is an expertly designed pre-made insole that works brilliantly for the vast majority of walkers and hikers. CUSTOM active is individually manufactured from a 3D scan of your feet, providing precise orthotic correction — ideal if you have a specific biomechanical issue such as significant over-pronation, flat feet, or a history of foot, knee, or lower back pain.
