    The Principle

    Pain comes from force, not foot shape.

    Long hours upright and every step load the muscles, tendons and ligaments of your feet and legs — and that strain causes pain and tired feet.Support reduces it.Model SF gives a lighter level than Model P, in a shank-independent shell slim enough to fit the tight shoes a full orthotic can't — so you keep support in every pair.

    Pain relief that fits where a full orthotic can't.

    • TREATS PAIN, LIGHTER SUPPORT

      Resists pronation strain to ease foot, leg and back pain — at a lighter level than Model P, in a slimline shell.

    • BUILT TO FIT TIGHT SHOES

      Ergonomically shaped to sit flat in the back of the shoe with a narrow width and ¾ cover — support without taking up room.

    • SHANK INDEPENDENT

      The arch bridges and springs under load — so your support holds in any shoe, the same design principle as Model P.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does Model SF treat pain?

    Yes — Model SF treats the same foot, leg and back conditions as Model P, with lighter support, in a slimline shell that fits tight shoes. It resists the pronation strain that overloads tissues and causes pain. It's effective for milder cases and for the tight footwear a full orthotic can't fit; for more stubborn or severe pain, Model P gives stronger support.

    When would I use Model SF?

    Model SF is ideal for any tight-fitting footwear — dress, business or cycling shoes — where it provides arch support and eases pain and tired feet. It's perfect for people who use Model C or Model P in their sport or casual shoes but need a slimmer option for tighter shoes. Having support in all your shoes helps reduce pain and tired, aching feet.

    How does Model SF differ from other Interpod orthotics?

    Model SF is ergonomically designed to sit flat in the back of the shoe, preventing the heel from lifting out while still providing support. Its narrow width and low arch make it more comfortable and take up less room, and it comes with a ¾-length replaceable cover — a perfect fit for tighter dress shoes. It treats the same conditions as Model P, with lighter support in a slimmer, more flexible shell.

    What does "shank independent" mean?

    Most prefabricated orthotics rely on the shoe's shank to hold them up; if the shoe doesn't have a firm shank, they squash flat. Model SF is shank independent— its arch bridges between heel and forefoot and springs under load instead of collapsing, while sitting flat in the back of the shoe. That means consistent support even in tight footwear, the same design principle as Model P.

    What is NeuroFlex™?

    NeuroFlex™ is Interpod's own material — a blend of polypropylene and carbon fibre. At 4 mm it's firm but highly flexible, resisting pronation to ease pain while moving with the foot to support supination. It's lightweight, durable, and impervious to moisture and odours, which is why Model SF carries a 5-year warranty.

    How do I fit Model SF, and what's the guarantee?

    Place it (without the cover) on top of or under your existing shoe liner at the rear of the shoe, or remove the liner and place it at the back — or slip it under the existing flat insole, where its hook shape holds it in place. For a fixed fit, peel the self-adhesive ¾ cover and press the orthotic onto it. The NeuroFlex shell is guaranteed five years; the EVA cover lasts a minimum of 30 days and is replaceable. And if Model SF doesn't work for you, return it within 90 days for a full refund.

    Pain relief in every shoe — even the tight ones.

    Model SF treats the same conditions as Model P with lighter support — in a shank-independent 4 mm NeuroFlex shell that sits flat in the tight dress, business and specialty shoes a full orthotic can't fit. $75, sorted.
