Shapes: Pain prevention and stability improvement through new high-tech training devices for the feet, made in Germany

Mar 07, 2025
Shapes: Schmerzprävention und Stabilitätsförderung durch neue Hightech Trainingsgeräte für die Füße, made in Germany

Shapes – Training equipment for strong, active feet

Experience a new running sensation – natural, powerful and healthy.
With Shapes, you train your feet effortlessly in everyday life – with every step. Developed in Germany, they are the result of modern biomechanics and high-quality manufacturing.

What are shapes?

Shapes are ultra-thin, approximately 2.7 mm thick training devices for your feet. They weigh only around 30 grams and can be integrated into many shoes – discreet, yet effective.
By specifically stimulating your arch, Shapes promote muscle activity in the foot and leg area, thus supporting your overall body awareness.

The running feel?
Like walking barefoot on a springy forest floor – natural, soft, invigorating.


Why strong feet are so important

Our feet perform at their peak every single day. They consist of:

  • 26 bones + 2 sesamoid bones

  • 33 joints

  • Over 100 tapes

  • Approximately 20 short foot muscles

  • And a multitude of sensory cells, nerves, and blood vessels

Two key structures – the longitudinal and transverse arches – provide cushioning, stability, and healthy movement patterns. If these are not regularly used, muscular imbalances, misalignments, and pain can develop – in the feet, but also in the knees, hips, or back.


More than just foot training – Shapes have a holistic effect

A stable base of feet influences your posture, mobility, and balance.
With Shapes, you unconsciously activate the deep foot muscles with every step and promote long-term:

  • Upright posture

  • Joint-friendly walking

  • Improved balance

  • Reduced strain


How are shapes worn?

Shapes extend from the heel to just before the ball of the foot . They must not lie under the ball of the foot to avoid irritating sensitive joints.

Initially, wear Shapes for 1-2 hours daily to give your body time to adjust. Initial reactions such as muscle soreness are possible – these indicate that your muscles are working.


How to integrate shapes into your everyday life

Shapes can be easily placed in your favorite shoes. Whether shopping, walking, or at the office – every time you wear them, it becomes a workout.
Regular use can help alleviate discomfort and optimize movement patterns – without additional time expenditure.


Simply try out shapes

Would you like to experience how Shapes affect your feet and your well-being?
Then try our Shapes trial set with two sizes and find out which version suits your foot best. Alternatively, we would be happy to welcome you to our location in Buchholz (Triftweg 13) for a personal consultation.


Important note regarding size selection

The right size doesn't just depend on your shoe size. Our size chart on the product page will help you choose.

Because:
A longer midfoot with short toes may require a larger shoe size, while a shorter midfoot with long toes necessitates a smaller size. The foot shape is the deciding factor – not just the length.


Note on usage

Shapes are not medical insoles and do not replace medical treatment. Use is at your own risk. They serve to specifically activate and strengthen the foot muscles – with a positive effect on the entire musculoskeletal system.


Give your feet the attention they deserve.

Feel the difference.
More stability, more naturalness, more body awareness – step by step.
