Brand Story




FOOTDISC German Posture Correction Insoles use patented technology and are designed based on the arch and foot shape. By supporting the arch and heel, they correct gait and greatly reduce pain caused by flat feet, knee degeneration, wear and tear, long-term standing, and sports injuries.

Founder Bjorn Gustafsson

Footdisc was founded by retired German athlete Bjorn Gustafsson*. After a calf injury derailed his athletic career, he dedicated himself to sports science research, specializing in the relationship between foot pronation and runner speed, foot angle, and foot angulation. He also established a biomechanics laboratory to help 2,500 runners find the right shoes and insoles, improving their performance and reducing injuries.

In 2000, Bjorn founded Currex Software and Sports Training, producing the FOOTDISC infrared sensor. He partnered with international manufacturers such as Asics, New Balance, and Nike, and pioneered the mass market for FOOTDISC insoles, making these scientifically engineered insoles for athletes accessible to everyone. In 2009, FOOTDISC insoles were recognized as the best insole in a test of six leading insole products by UK-based Running Fitness magazine.

Star User: Caroline Steffen

Caroline Steffen* developed plantar fasciitis in her left leg in May 2011 and began wearing FOOT-DISC sports insoles. Within three weeks of training, Caroline felt her foot pain significantly reduced. She later decided to wear the racing insoles in two international triathlons, winning both titles.

Caroline sent a thank you email after winning the competition:

I won the race last weekend in Heilbronn ………….. but this was is not the point. Most amazing is that I didn’t felt any pain in my feet during the run. Was this caused by the blue PROACTIVE insoles that I worn during the run???If yes or not – whatever. For my foot it was a gorgeous feeling.
– Big help/ support for my feet (also for the healthy one)
– The running shoe fits better to my foot
– No blisters, no skin abrasion
-No slipping inside the shoe, even with wet feetWhat more could I say: I’m super HAPPY and will wear the insoles in the future. I will wear the yellow RUNPRO with the Gel-dots in my training shoes. Thank you very much till here. I will wear the insoles next Sunday during the 70.3 in Rapperswil. I’ll give you a shout how it was going.
