Engineered for pickleball

Built to reduce strain

[ Feature image — Hex-cell heel pod ]

01 · System

HEX-Cell heel pod

A 6.4mm TPU lattice that absorbs 92% of vertical impact at split-step and rebuilds before your next dink.

[ Feature image — Glass-fibre arch spine ]

02 · System

Glass-fibre arch spine

Composite midfoot rim resists rollover during fast direction changes and split-steps in the kitchen.

[ Feature image — Forefoot hex grip ]

03 · System

Forefoot hex grip

TPR skin with directional hexagons. Locks your foot in place during slide-and-recovers — no internal slip.

[ Feature image — Anti-microbial top sheet ]

04 · System

Anti-microbial top sheet

Silver-ion bonded fabric stops odor at the source between wash cycles, court-day after court-day.

[ Feature image — Lateral cage ]

05 · System

Lateral cage

Glass-fibre rim resists rollover during fast direction changes and split-steps in the kitchen.

[ Feature image — Heat-mapped EVA base ]

06 · System

Heat-mapped EVA base

Dual-density foam tuned to the pickleball pressure map — softer where you land, firmer where you push.

Why not a running insole?

Most insoles are tuned for forward motion. Pickleball isn't.

Player video

“My physical therapist recommended these specifically for pickleball players. After two weeks I understood why. Total game changer for my plantar fasciitis.”

“The arch support is incredible. I’ve tried other insoles before and nothing comes close. These were built for the court and you can feel it.”

Carlos R.

What the research says

The 2023 heel pain clinical practice guideline supports a combined approach: stretching, load management, and, where appropriate, foot orthoses as part of a wider treatment plan. HeelBase follows that same support-first principle.
