Fussfassen, Germany
1. For how long do you use the system?
I have been working with the system since 2008.
Yes, with a few clicks I am able to construct an insert. I especially like the fact that I can make full use of my orthopedic knowledge and that I don't have to fall back on prefabricated patterns.
2. Do you find the system easy to use?
- How is your insole production distributed among the areas "Orthopedics", "Comfort / Everyday shoes" and "Sports"?
4. From your point of view, what are the main advantages of the system?
- The user-friendly software
- The measuring unit (Digitizer): So I can measure in different loads and have a real 3D result
- The high quality of the hardware and milling blocks
- There is practically no failure of the milling machine and the blanks last a very long time
5. How many insoles have you produced with the system?
About 25.000 pairs of insoles
6. What is the most common reaction / review from your patients when they first wear the insoles?
- Very comfortable to wear
- Surprised how thin can be
- Durability and stability of the insole
My patients and clients come from all backgrounds. As I am interested in sports myself, I particularly enjoy providing care for this group, as I can make the most of my individuality (and that of the system) there.

It was a disillusionment born out of sports injuries and botched rehab attempts with second-rate insoles that propelled Marcel Herzog to establish the Orthema Group, a leading world player in the field of orthotic insole production. Somewhat of a polymath, Herzog, who is educated in sports science, looked past the limits of technology and saw an opportunity. “I was looking for solutions,” explains the affable Herzog from the company’s headquarters in Rotkreuz. “I wanted to eliminate muscular pain by correcting gaits, but I was also looking for ways to optimize power transfer for elite athletes.”
