ICB Firm Density Full Length Orthotics – Heat Mouldable EVA Insoles
Stronger Biomechanical Control
Full-Length Foot Support
Heat-mouldable in Clinic
Suitable for Active Patients
ICB Firm Density Full Length Orthotic
Firm, full-length biomechanical support for patients who require greater control of excessive pronation and improved foot stability.
Made from firm-density EVA, this heat-mouldable orthotic supports the arch, helps guide foot alignment and provides full-foot coverage for use in suitable everyday, occupational and sports footwear. It is intended for professional fitting and customisation by podiatrists and other appropriately trained healthcare practitioners.
What It Does and How It Works
The ICB Firm Density Full Length Orthotic is designed to support the foot beneath the heel, arch and forefoot. Its firm EVA shell helps resist excessive collapse through the arch and provides a stable platform beneath the foot during standing, walking and activity.
By supporting foot posture and helping control excessive pronation, the orthotic may assist a clinician in improving lower-limb alignment and managing biomechanical loading. The degree of correction and comfort will depend on the patient’s assessment, prescription, footwear and any clinical modifications made during fitting.
Common Problems It May Help With
- Moderate to severe excessive pronation
- Reduced arch stability during gait
- Foot fatigue linked to poor mechanical support
- Instability during walking or activity
- Flat-foot posture requiring firmer support
- Lower-limb biomechanical management
- Support requirements in sports or occupational footwear
- Clinical orthotic therapy where a heat-mouldable device is appropriate
This orthotic is a support device rather than a diagnosis or standalone treatment. Persistent pain, sudden changes in walking ability or worsening symptoms should be assessed by a qualified healthcare professional.
Applications and Suitability
This orthotic is suitable for professional use in podiatry and orthotic therapy. It may be considered for:
- Patients requiring firm arch and rearfoot support
- Moderate to severe pronation management
- Athletes and highly active patients
- Patients weighing more than 90 kg who require firmer support
- Daily walking, work and selected sports footwear
- Clinical modification through heat moulding
Who It May Not Suit
A firm orthotic may not be appropriate for every patient. It may be unsuitable where the patient cannot tolerate rigid or firm support, where footwear lacks sufficient depth, or where an unassessed medical or neurological condition affects sensation, circulation or skin integrity.
Patients with diabetes, reduced sensation, fragile skin, circulatory problems, significant foot deformity or active ulceration should seek clinical advice before use. A softer or differently configured orthotic may be more appropriate following assessment.
Product Specifications

| Style | Full length |
| Material | Firm-density EVA |
| Colour | Green |
| Customisation | Heat mouldable |
| Primary application | Podiatry and orthotic therapy |

Usage Instructions
- Have the patient assessed and select the appropriate orthotic size for the foot and footwear.
- Remove the shoe’s existing removable liner where necessary to create adequate space.
- Check that the orthotic sits flat inside the shoe without curling, rocking or compressing the toes.
- Heat mould or modify the orthotic only using an appropriate clinical technique and suitable equipment.
- Reassess fit, comfort, foot position and footwear volume after modification.
- Introduce wear gradually, particularly for patients who have not previously worn firm orthotic support.
Patients may require several days to become accustomed to the level of support and control provided. Wear time should be reduced and the fit reviewed if discomfort persists.
Benefits
- Provides firm arch and rearfoot support
- Helps manage excessive pronation
- Supports improved foot stability during gait
- Offers complete heel-to-forefoot coverage
- Can be customised through heat moulding
- Suitable for active and higher-demand patients
- Lightweight EVA construction
- Available in a broad size range
Contraindications and Warnings
- Professional assessment and fitting are recommended.
- Do not use if the orthotic causes persistent pain, numbness, skin irritation, blistering or pressure marks.
- Check the skin regularly during the initial wear-in period.
- Do not place the orthotic in footwear that is too shallow, narrow or unstable.
- Do not attempt heat moulding without suitable training and temperature-controlled equipment.
- Replace the device if it becomes cracked, permanently distorted or no longer provides stable support.
- Seek medical advice for severe pain, acute injury, open wounds, unexplained swelling or suspected circulation problems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ICB Firm Density Full Length Orthotic used for?
It is used to provide firm support beneath the heel, arch and forefoot for patients who require increased foot stability. A clinician may use it as part of a treatment plan for excessive pronation, reduced arch support or lower-limb biomechanical concerns.
How does the orthotic help control pronation?
The firm EVA construction supports the arch and provides resistance against excessive inward foot movement during gait. This can help a clinician guide foot posture and improve the stability of the lower limb during walking or activity.
Who is the firm-density version designed for?
It is intended for patients who need stronger biomechanical control than a softer orthotic provides. This may include active patients, athletes, people with moderate to severe pronation and patients weighing more than 90 kg.
Can it be worn every day?
It may be suitable for daily use when correctly fitted inside appropriate footwear. New users should usually build up wear time gradually so the feet and lower limbs can adapt to the firmer support.
Can the orthotic be heat moulded?
Yes. The firm-density EVA is heat mouldable, allowing a trained practitioner to adjust the device to suit the patient’s foot structure and clinical requirements.
What type of footwear is suitable?
The orthotic is best used in stable footwear with enough internal depth and width to accommodate a full-length device. Shoes with removable liners are often easier to fit because the original liner can be removed to create additional space.
How long does it take to get used to firm orthotics?
Some patients adapt within a few days, while others require a longer gradual wear-in period. Ongoing pain, pressure or skin irritation should not be ignored and should prompt a fitting review.
Can the orthotics be moved between shoes?
They may be transferred between shoes when both pairs have suitable depth, width and support. The fit should be checked each time because differences in shoe shape can alter comfort and orthotic positioning.
Is this the same as a custom-made orthotic?
No. This is a prefabricated heat-mouldable orthotic that can be clinically adjusted. A fully custom-made device is manufactured from an individual prescription or foot model and may be required for more complex needs.
