Peak performance, pain relief and less injuries
Are you suffering with foot pain, injury, plantar fasciitis or shin splints?
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis usually presents as pain on the bottom of your foot near your heel. Often there's pain when you take the first few steps getting out of bed, and greater pain after exercise or activity. G8 2620 Insoles ease Plantar Fasciitis, often instantly.
Shin splints
Shin splints give pain along the inner edge of the shinbone (tibia). Often it's a dull ache or throbbing sensation. They may worsen during physical activity, feel tender to touch or become swollen or inflamed. G8 2620 Insoles can really help ease the pain.

Why do my feet hurt after wearing my G8’s?
Initially when you begin wearing G8 orthotic insoles, your feet need to adjust to the flexion and movement, so your muscles and tendons may feel a bit sore due to minor inflammation.
This is completely normal and you can alleviate this by breaking in your G8’s slowly to gradually strengthen the muscles of your feet and improve your foot health.
How do G8’s support my arches?
The G8 design encourages your feet to move naturally inside your shoe rather than locking them into a rigid position.
This allows the intrinsic muscles on the underside of the foot to activate during movement. Over time, this may help improve foot strength and support the natural arch of the foot.
The height of the arch piece is selected based on the shape and height of the forward portion of your arch as well as comfort. As a general guideline, the arch support should make contact with the forward arch when the foot is non-weight bearing.
How much should I trim off my orthotic insoles?
Please refer to the video here on the 2620 fitting guide page.
How long do G8 orthotic insoles last?
You will need a new insole when your arch support is no longer
optimal and you have moved onto as high an arch as your foot allows.
The 2620 PRO SERIES orthotic insoles should last for the life of your shoe. (12-18 months).
Due to the amount of sweat -250ml per foot - combined with the heat and friction, the materials in your shoes and G8's will degrade and no longer function optimally.
There is also a hygiene factor.
The arch pieces can withstand a beating but after a while the spring in the arch piece will diminish.
Some people happen to wear their shoes out faster than others, so this is a factor as well.
The arch pieces will perform better when fitted under the forward arch and not near the rear near the heel.
Take care of your feet and they will take care of you.
Help! My G8’s are giving me blisters!
New movement and biomechanics and better foot positioning with new G8’s can result in rubbing and blisters.
Make sure to wear them in slowly and you’ll find them comfortable in no time.
Can I wear G8’s in any shoe?
The G8 Performance 2620 PRO SERIES orthotic insoles may be customized to fit most enclosed footwear, including sports shoes, ski boots, work boots, hiking boots, skates, and medical or orthopedic footwear.
They are not suitable for high-heeled shoes.
You can use the same pair of G8 orthotic insoles in different shoes (e.g., running shoes and cycling shoes), but it is best to set up the G8 insole specifically for the activity or application.
I am very flat footed. Would the G8 2620s work for me?
The many problems caused by flat feet is the main reason the 2620 orthotic insoles were developed!
G8 2620s are designed to encourage natural foot movement in the shoe and over time, the feet will become stronger and more effective at transferring force through the ball of the foot.
When feet are stronger and doing what they should, blood flow is increased (eliminating hot spots), nerve response is increased (providing better feedback to the brain), and increased force transfer to the place you need it most.
This force transfer also reduces energy return, which can help with calf and Achilles issues as well as knee problems.
Now, this is not an instant fix. Just like any other musculature system, the muscles take time to adapt and the rest of the body will follow suit.
If you begin with the level 1 arch piece in your shoes and adjust it
gradually as your feet build more strength.
The arch piece can be exchanged for a level 2 and eventually be moved forward. See the fitting guide for full details.
This is a gradual progression depending on how bad your feet are and can take between 8-18months.
You must listen to what your body is telling you which is the best indicator on how you need to graduate to the next level of arch or forward position.
Some plantar muscle pain may be experienced if you do high mileage in your 2620’s right out of the box.
You need to make sure you take the time to get used to the 2620s as the muscles and ligaments will need to adjust to the increased movement in your feet.
If you experience discomfort, allow your foot muscles to recover by resting them and applying topical magnesium.
