Description
PPT® Arch Pad – Single Pair
PPT® (Personal Protective Technology) is the open-cell, high-density polyurethane foam developed by Langer Biomedical and widely used in podiatry clinics for shock absorption and pressure relief. This single pair is the easiest way to try PPT arch support in your own shoes before committing to a larger supply.
Why Podiatrists Use PPT
Standard felt or foam padding tends to flatten and lose its cushioning with everyday wear. PPT is engineered to hold its shape under repeated load, which is why it's a mainstay material in prescription orthotics and podiatry clinics.
Key Features
- Shock Absorption & Pressure Relief – cushions the arch and takes pressure off sensitive areas
- Holds Its Shape – resists bottoming out, even with daily wear
- Washable, Latex-Free Top Layer – smooth nylon surface that's hypoallergenic and comfortable against skin or hosiery
- Self-Adhesive – peels and sticks straight into your shoe or onto an existing insole
- Trims to Fit – easily shaped with scissors for a precise fit in any footwear
Common Uses
- Everyday arch support for plantar fasciitis or general arch fatigue
- Extra cushioning for high arches (pes cavus)
- Supplementary support for flexible flat feet or overpronation
- All-day comfort for standing or walking-heavy occupations
- A simple add-on to existing insoles or orthotics that need more arch cushioning
How to Use
Clean and dry the inside of the shoe or insole where the pad will sit. Peel the backing and press firmly into place under the arch. Trim the edges with scissors if needed for a precise fit.
FAQ
How long will one pair last?
With normal daily wear, PPT holds its cushioning for several months — noticeably longer than standard felt padding.
Will this fit in any shoe?
Yes — the pad trims easily with scissors, so it can be shaped to fit sneakers, work boots, or dress shoes.
Is this suitable for sensitive or diabetic feet?
PPT is hypoallergenic and latex-free, and is commonly used in podiatry for pressure offloading. Speak with your podiatrist for advice specific to your foot health needs.
I need more than one pair – is there a better value option?
Yes – if you're a practitioner or want a standing supply, the 6-pair pack works out significantly cheaper per pair.
