ICB Sports Dual Density Full Length
ICB Sports Dual Density Full Length Orthotics
Full-length, heat-mouldable EVA orthotics designed for active patients who require firm support through the heel and arch with greater comfort beneath the midfoot and forefoot. ICB’s patented Dual Density Heat Moulding Orthotics are made of 100% EVA. The two densities provide an integrated support and comfort system. The dual-density construction combines stabilising green EVA with medium-density blue EVA, helping clinicians balance foot control, comfort and durability for sporting activities and general daily use.
Features:
- Support for active feet: firm EVA through the heel cup and arch provides increased stabilisation where greater control is required.
- Comfort across the full foot: medium-density EVA beneath the midfoot and forefoot helps soften the feel under load.
- Dual-density design: two integrated EVA densities combine support and comfort in one full-length orthotic.
- Heat mouldable: suitable for professional heat moulding to refine the fit and clinical application.
- Closed-cell EVA construction: designed to resist compression and distortion during regular use.
- Full-length coverage: supports the heel, arch, midfoot and forefoot inside suitable footwear.

What It Does and How It Works
The orthotic sits inside the shoe and provides a shaped platform beneath the foot. Its firm heel cup and arch section are intended to increase rearfoot and midfoot stability, while the softer forefoot section provides a more comfortable surface beneath the front of the foot.
Technically, the construction combines green A75 Shore-density EVA with blue A65 Shore-density EVA. The firmer green component provides greater resistance through the heel and arch, while the medium-density blue component accommodates loading through the midfoot and forefoot.
The blue EVA beneath the heel also incorporates an intrinsic deflection intended to provide localised accommodation for patients with heel-spur-related symptoms.
Common Problems It May Help With
When selected following an appropriate assessment, this orthotic may form part of a management plan for:
- Excessive foot pronation or reduced foot stability.
- Heel and arch discomfort associated with increased loading.
- Foot fatigue during sport, work or prolonged standing.
- A need for greater rearfoot and arch support than a softer insole can provide.
- Heel-spur-related discomfort where an intrinsic heel deflection is appropriate.
- General gait support during everyday or sporting footwear use.
This product is not a diagnosis or a complete treatment on its own. A suitably qualified healthcare professional should assess persistent, severe or unexplained pain.
Applications and Suitability
- High-performance and recreational sporting activities.
- General use where increased heel and arch support is required.
- Patients who benefit from a firmer supportive orthotic with a more comfortable forefoot.
- Clinical fitting by podiatrists, physiotherapists and other suitably trained practitioners.
- Use in supportive footwear with sufficient internal depth and a removable liner where possible.
Who It May Not Suit
- People who require a soft, accommodative or pressure-relieving insole rather than firm control.
- Footwear that is narrow, shallow or unable to accommodate a full-length orthotic.
- Users with open wounds, active skin breakdown or significant loss of sensation unless directed by a clinician.
- Anyone experiencing increased pain, numbness, rubbing or pressure after fitting.
- Patients whose symptoms or biomechanics have not been assessed where professional guidance is required.

Usage Instructions
- Select the correct size for the patient and intended footwear.
- Check that the shoe has enough depth and width to accommodate the full-length orthotic without crowding the foot.
- Remove the existing shoe liner where appropriate before inserting the orthotic.
- Position the orthotic flat inside the shoe, ensuring the heel is seated securely and the orthotic does not curl or fold.
- Where heat moulding or modification is required, this should be completed by a suitably trained practitioner using appropriate equipment and fitting techniques.
- Introduce wear gradually, particularly when changing from an unsupported or softer insole.
- Review comfort, footwear fit and skin condition regularly during the initial wearing period.
Getting Used to the Orthotics
Some patients may need several days to adjust to the increased support and control provided by dual-density sports orthotics. Begin with shorter periods of wear and increase gradually as comfort allows.
Do not continue through sharp pain, persistent pressure, numbness or skin irritation. Remove the orthotics and seek fitting advice if these symptoms occur.
Benefits
- Combines firmer biomechanical support with a more comfortable forefoot feel.
- Provides full-length contact beneath the foot.
- Supports the heel and arch during active and everyday use.
- Helps manage pronation where increased control is clinically appropriate.
- Can be heat moulded to support individual fitting requirements.
- Closed-cell EVA helps the orthotic retain its shape and resist compression.
- Available in a broad range of sizes for different patients and footwear.
Contraindications and Warnings
- Obtain professional advice before use if you have diabetes, impaired circulation, reduced foot sensation, a history of ulceration or significant foot deformity.
- Do not place the orthotics directly against open wounds, broken skin or active areas of infection.
- Check footwear carefully. An orthotic that makes the shoe too tight may create unwanted pressure or friction.
- Stop use and seek advice if pain worsens or if you develop numbness, blistering, redness that does not settle, or new areas of pressure.
- Heat moulding and clinical modification should be undertaken only by a suitably trained person.
- These orthotics should be used as part of an appropriate assessment and management plan where symptoms are persistent or complex.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are ICB Sports Dual Density Full Length Orthotics used for?
They are designed for active patients who require increased support through the heel and arch while retaining greater comfort under the midfoot and forefoot. They may be used for sporting activities or general daily wear when a firmer level of foot control is appropriate.
How does the dual-density construction work?
The green A75 EVA provides firmer support through the heel cup and arch. The blue A65 EVA is less firm and creates a more comfortable platform beneath the midfoot, forefoot and heel.
Can these orthotics help control pronation?
The firm heel and arch sections are designed to provide increased foot stabilisation and pronation control. Suitability depends on the individual, so professional assessment is recommended where symptoms are ongoing or the required level of correction is unclear.
Are they suitable for heel-spur-related discomfort?
The medium-density blue EVA beneath the heel includes an intrinsic deflection intended to accommodate the heel area. Heel pain can have several causes, so persistent pain should be assessed rather than treated based on symptoms alone.
Can they be worn every day?
They may be suitable for daily wear when correctly fitted and used in footwear with adequate internal space. Wear should be increased gradually, and the orthotics should be removed if they cause persistent discomfort, rubbing or pressure.
Do they need to be heat moulded?
They are designed to be heat mouldable, allowing a suitably trained practitioner to refine their fit or application. Whether moulding is required depends on the patient, footwear and clinical objective.
What footwear works best with full-length orthotics?
Supportive lace-up or fastening footwear with enough depth and a removable liner is generally easier to fit. Narrow, shallow or tightly fitted shoes may not provide enough room for both the orthotic and the foot.
How long does it take to get used to them?
Some patients adapt within a few days, while others may require a more gradual introduction. Start with shorter periods of wear and increase use as comfort permits rather than wearing them for a full day immediately.
Who commonly fits this type of orthotic?
These orthotics are commonly selected and fitted by podiatrists and other healthcare professionals involved in foot, gait and lower-limb management. Professional fitting is particularly useful when heat moulding, modification or biomechanical control is required.
When should I stop using the orthotics?
Stop use if they cause worsening pain, numbness, blistering, skin damage or persistent areas of redness. The footwear and orthotic fit should then be reviewed before use is resumed.
