ICB High Heel 2/3 Length
ICB High Heel 2/3 Length Orthotics
Slim, heat-mouldable EVA orthotics developed for high heels and narrow-fitting footwear. Their compact 2/3-length shape provides support beneath the heel, longitudinal arch and transverse arch without filling the toe area of the shoe.
A 3° rearfoot varus post, triangular shaft and forefoot sulcus extension work together to improve stability, support foot alignment and help reduce unwanted movement inside high-heeled footwear.
Key Features:
-
Support designed for high heels: The low-profile shape is specifically designed to fit narrow, high-heeled footwear where conventional orthotics may be too wide or bulky.
-
Helps stabilise the foot: A 3° rearfoot varus post supports foot alignment and may help manage excessive inward movement where this degree of posting is clinically appropriate.      Â
-
Supports two arch areas: The triangular shaft is shaped to support both the longitudinal arch along the inside of the foot and the transverse arch across the forefoot.
-
Heat mouldable in clinic: The EVA construction can be heat moulded by a suitably trained professional to refine the fit and accommodate individual foot shape. Â Â Â
What It Does and How It Works
High-heeled shoes place the foot on an inclined surface and often provide less internal space than everyday walking footwear. This can make standard full-length orthotics difficult to fit and may allow the foot to move forward or become less stable inside the shoe.
The ICB High Heel 2/3 Length Orthotic provides a shaped platform beneath the heel and arch while keeping the toe area free. Its slim construction is intended to fit more easily into narrow footwear without creating unnecessary forefoot bulk.
The integrated 3° rearfoot varus post supports rearfoot positioning. A triangular shaft follows the arch contours of the foot, while the forefoot sulcus extension continues support towards the ball of the foot to improve comfort and help limit movement inside the shoe.
Common Problems It May Help With
Limited support in high heels
Adds shaped support beneath the heel and arch in footwear that may otherwise provide little internal contouring.
Foot movement inside the shoe
The contoured profile and sulcus extension may help the foot feel more stable and reduce sliding within suitable high-heeled footwear.
Metatarsal pressure
Transverse arch support may help redistribute pressure around the forefoot when fitted appropriately as part of a professional treatment plan.
Pronation-related instability
The rearfoot post may assist with pronation control and alignment where a 3° varus correction has been assessed as suitable.
Applications and Suitability
- Women’s high-heeled shoes with sufficient internal depth
- Narrow or dress footwear that cannot accommodate a standard full-length orthotic
- People requiring discreet heel and arch support in formal footwear
- Pronation control where a 3° rearfoot varus post is appropriate
- Metatarsal pressure management under professional guidance
- Podiatry, physiotherapy and orthotic therapy settings
- Clinician-led heat moulding and in-clinic customisation
Who It May Not Suit
- Flat shoes, sports shoes or everyday footwear where a different orthotic profile would provide a more suitable fit
- Very shallow shoes that become tight when the orthotic is inserted
- Open-back shoes where the orthotic or foot cannot remain secure
- Footwear with an uneven or heavily contoured internal base that prevents the device from sitting flat
- Wearers who require cushioning beneath the full length of the foot and toes
- People for whom a 3° rearfoot varus post has not been assessed as suitable
- Anyone with active wounds, severe swelling, marked sensory loss or an undiagnosed foot condition without professional advice

Usage Instructions
- Select a suitable orthotic size and check that the intended shoe has enough depth to accommodate it.
- Place the orthotic inside the shoe with the heel section positioned firmly against the back and the arch contour aligned beneath the foot.
- Check that the device sits flat without rocking, folding or creating a raised edge.
- Ensure the forefoot sulcus extension lies smoothly and does not bunch beneath the ball of the foot.
- Wear for short periods initially and increase use gradually as comfort allows.
- Have heat moulding, posting assessment or other modification completed by a suitably trained healthcare professional.
- Reassess the fit if the foot slides forward, the shoe becomes too tight or discomfort persists.
Benefits
Low-profile support
Provides support without the bulk of a conventional full-length orthotic, making it more practical for narrow or formal footwear.
Improved stability
The contoured shape, rearfoot post and sulcus extension help create a more stable platform inside suitable high-heeled shoes.
Targeted arch support
The triangular shaft supports the longitudinal and transverse arches while preserving space around the toes.
Customisable fit
Heat-mouldable EVA allows trained clinicians to refine the device to suit individual foot shape and footwear requirements.
Contraindications and Warnings
- This product should not replace professional assessment where pain, injury, numbness or altered foot function is present.
- The 3° rearfoot varus post may not be appropriate for every foot type or condition.
- Stop use if the orthotic causes persistent pain, numbness, blistering, skin irritation or increased pressure.
- People with diabetes, poor circulation, neuropathy or a history of foot ulceration should seek professional fitting advice before use.
- Do not attempt to heat mould the orthotic without appropriate training and equipment.
- Do not use the orthotic if it prevents the shoe from fastening securely or causes the heel to lift excessively.
- High heels may still place increased pressure on the forefoot; the orthotic does not remove all footwear-related loading.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ICB High Heel 2/3 Length Orthotic used for?
It is designed to provide heel and arch support inside women’s high-heeled or narrow footwear. Its compact shape may also help improve stability and reduce unwanted foot movement where the fit and posting are appropriate.
Can ordinary orthotics be worn in high heels?
Many conventional orthotics are too long, wide or deep for high-heeled shoes. This model has a slimmer 2/3-length profile specifically intended for footwear with restricted internal space.
How does the 3° rearfoot varus post work?
The post creates a defined angle beneath the rearfoot to support positioning and assist with pronation control. Suitability depends on the individual foot, symptoms and footwear, so professional assessment is recommended.
What does the triangular shaft support?
The triangular shaft is shaped to support the longitudinal arch running along the inside of the foot and the transverse arch across the forefoot. This helps provide targeted support within a narrow device.
What is the forefoot sulcus extension for?
The sulcus extension carries the orthotic further towards the toes without creating a full-length insole. It helps provide a smoother transition beneath the forefoot and may reduce movement inside the shoe.
Can these orthotics help with metatarsal pressure?
The transverse arch support and sulcus extension may help redistribute pressure around the forefoot. Persistent ball-of-foot pain should be assessed to identify the cause and confirm that this product is suitable.
Can the orthotics be heat moulded at home?
Heat moulding should be carried out by a suitably trained healthcare professional using appropriate equipment. Incorrect heating can alter the shape, damage the EVA or create unsuitable pressure areas.
Can I wear them in every pair of high heels?
Fit will depend on the depth, width, heel height and internal shape of each shoe. The orthotic should sit flat, leave enough room for the foot and allow the shoe to remain secure.
How should I get used to wearing them?
Begin with short periods and gradually increase wear time as comfort allows. Stop using them and arrange a fitting review if pain, numbness, rubbing or excessive pressure develops.
Who should recommend or fit this product?
Podiatrists, physiotherapists and other appropriately trained healthcare professionals can assess foot posture, footwear and posting requirements. Professional guidance is particularly important when the orthotic is intended to address pain or a diagnosed condition.
