Description
ICB Sports Dual Density 2/3 Length Orthotics
ICB’s patented Dual Density Heat Moulding Orthotics are made of 100% EVA. Heat-mouldable, dual-density EVA orthotics designed to combine structured rearfoot and arch support with a more comfortable feel underfoot. The compact 2/3-length profile supports the heel and midfoot while leaving the forefoot area of the shoe unobstructed.
Suitable for use in many everyday, work and sports shoes where full-length insoles may take up too much space.
What It Does and How It Works
The ICB Sports Dual Density 2/3 Length Orthotic sits beneath the heel and arch to provide a more supportive base inside the shoe. Its contoured shape helps guide and stabilise the foot while the dual-density EVA construction combines firmer support with a softer, more forgiving feel.
The two EVA densities work together as an integrated support and comfort system. The supportive section helps maintain the orthotic shape, while the softer section helps reduce the harsh feel that can occur with a fully firm device.
Because the orthotic ends before the toes, it can be useful in footwear with limited forefoot depth or where the original full-length shoe liner needs to remain in place.
Common Problems It May Help With
Reduced foot stability
Provides a shaped base beneath the heel and arch for people who need additional support during standing, walking or activity.
Excessive inward foot movement
May form part of a professionally recommended approach for managing foot posture and overpronation where additional rearfoot and arch support is appropriate.
Foot fatigue
Support beneath the midfoot may help improve comfort for people who spend extended periods standing, walking or exercising.
Limited footwear space
The 2/3-length shape can be easier to accommodate in footwear where a full-length orthotic feels too bulky beneath the forefoot.
Applications and Suitability
- Sports and training footwear with a secure lace or fastening system
- Everyday walking shoes, work shoes and supportive casual footwear
- People who require heel and arch support without full-length forefoot coverage
- Podiatry, physiotherapy and allied-health fitting environments
- Patients following a clinician-led orthotic or gait-management plan
- Wearers who may benefit from a heat-mouldable orthotic that can be adjusted professionally
Who It May Not Suit
- Footwear that is very shallow, unstable or lacks a secure fastening
- Shoes with a highly curved or raised internal footbed that prevents the orthotic from sitting flat
- People who require cushioning or support beneath the full forefoot and toes
- Anyone with active skin breakdown, severe swelling, significant loss of sensation or an undiagnosed foot condition unless assessed by a healthcare professional
- Wearers who experience persistent pain, numbness, pressure points or worsening symptoms during use

Usage Instructions
- Select the appropriate orthotic size for the wearer and intended footwear.

- Wear for short periods initially and increase use gradually as comfort allows.
- Where heat moulding or clinical modification is required, fitting should be completed by a suitably trained healthcare professional.
- Review the fit if the orthotic moves inside the shoe or if discomfort continues after a gradual adjustment period.
Benefits
Supports the heel and arch
Provides a contoured platform beneath key areas of the foot without adding material beneath the toes.
Balances control and cushioning
Dual-density EVA helps combine supportive structure with a more comfortable contact surface.
Fits more footwear styles
The shorter design can reduce forefoot bulk and may fit shoes that cannot comfortably accommodate a full-length device.
Suitable for professional adjustment
Heat-mouldable construction allows clinicians to refine fit where individual adaptation is required.
Contraindications and Warnings
- This product should not be used as a substitute for professional assessment where pain, injury or altered sensation is present.
- Stop use and seek advice 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 heat moulding without appropriate training and equipment.
- Ensure the orthotic is correctly positioned and the shoe remains secure during use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are ICB Sports Dual Density 2/3 Length Orthotics used for?
They are used to provide shaped support beneath the heel and arch while preserving space beneath the forefoot. They may be selected for everyday wear, sport or clinician-led foot-support plans where a shorter orthotic is preferred.
How does the dual-density design work?
The orthotic combines two EVA densities in a single device. One area provides greater structural support, while the other offers a softer feel to help improve comfort during use.
What is the difference between 2/3-length and full-length orthotics?
A 2/3-length orthotic supports the heel and arch but stops before the toes. A full-length orthotic extends to the front of the shoe and may provide additional cushioning beneath the forefoot.
Can these orthotics be worn in sports shoes?
They can be used in suitable sports shoes that have enough depth and a secure fastening. The orthotic should sit flat and remain stable inside the footwear throughout movement.
Can I wear them every day?
They may be suitable for daily use once a comfortable fit has been established. New users should build up wear time gradually rather than wearing them for a full day immediately.
Do I need to remove the original shoe insole?
Not always, because the 2/3-length design may sit on top of an existing flat liner. Remove or adjust the original liner only when necessary to create enough space and ensure the orthotic remains stable.
Can the orthotics be heat moulded at home?
Heat moulding should be completed by a suitably trained healthcare professional. Incorrect heating or shaping may damage the orthotic or create an unsuitable fit.
How long does it take to get used to orthotics?
Adjustment time varies between wearers. Begin with short periods and increase use gradually, stopping and seeking advice if pain or pressure persists.
Who should fit or recommend this product?
Podiatrists, physiotherapists and other appropriately trained healthcare professionals may assess suitability and make fitting recommendations. Professional guidance is particularly important when pain, injury, diabetes or reduced sensation is present.
