Product Description
What this product is and who it's for
- Formthotics Original Single Hard (SKU 317R) is a single-density, high-density Formax™ orthotic insole intended to provide rigid/supportive control where the foot is subject to high or repetitive impact. It is intended for buyers seeking a thermoformable full-length orthotic in a hard density.
Specifications
- Model name: Original Single Hard (manufacturer SKU 317R).
- Colour: Red (manufacturer specification and product image).
- Construction: single-layer, high-density Formax™ foam (the "Hard" single-density option listed by Formthotics).
- Shape: full-length with formed heel cup and tapered toe (Original Formthotics shape).
- Sizing (manufacturer size chart; full-length single measurements published): XXS = 234 mm; XS = 250 mm; S = 272 mm; M = 287 mm; L = 305 mm; XL = 312 mm; XXL = 335 mm (±3 mm noted by manufacturer). Manufacturer pages also list availability to XXXL in some markets.
What is included
- Manufacturer identifies this as the "Original Single" product family; the product listing used for reference is a single-density orthotic unit. Seller packaging (pair vs single) is not visible from the supplied studio image and varies by reseller; buyers should confirm whether the purchase is sold as a single insole or a pair before ordering.
Condition and packaging
- The supplied photograph is a studio product image of a single red insole on a white background (no retail packaging visible). The picture matches the manufacturer's product photography but does not show sealed retail packaging.
Usage notes
- The material is thermoformable; manufacturer documentation describes low-temperature heat-moulding (Formthotics V20) performed in-clinic to customise fit. Buyers should allow a trained clinician or authorised provider to carry out thermoforming for best results.
- The printed Formthotics logo appears on the top surface as shown in the product image and can be used to visually confirm this variant.
Limitations and safety
- The "Hard" density is the firmest single-density option; softer densities (for example the "317W Soft") are specifically recommended for patients who require maximum cushioning (manufacturer product pages distinguish densities). Consult a clinician before selecting a high-density orthotic if you have sensory loss, diabetes, or other conditions affecting foot tissue.
Unknowns and buyer checklist
- Whether the reseller sells the product as a single insole or as a pair (confirm before purchase).
- The listing image is a studio photo; physical packaging and inclusion of fitting/modification accessories (wedges, heat-moulding service) are seller-dependent and are not shown in the photograph.
Warnings
- If you have diabetes, severe peripheral neuropathy, or open foot lesions, do not self-fit this high-density orthotic without clinical advice; choose a softer density if recommended by a clinician.
- Verify size by foot-length (mm) where possible; Formthotics recommends selecting by foot length rather than shoe size.
