How it's built
Engineered to the millimeter. Built for the court.
02 · Arch
16mm arch cradle
That raised side profile holds firm under lateral load, spreading pressure away from the fascia instead of letting it concentrate through long rallies.
03 · Airflow
Airflow every step
Court shoes trap heat. Drive's open lattice creates channels through the structure, helping heat and moisture escape through long sessions.
04 · Build
One piece. No glue line.
Supportive under the arch and more forgiving at the heel, printed as one single structure. No bonded layers means nothing can fall apart under repeated cuts.
05 · Hygiene
99% antibacterial
Back-to-back sessions mean sweat, damp socks and a gym bag. The antibacterial, antifungal material helps control odor-causing microbes.
06 · Eco
100% recyclable
One recyclable thermoplastic, with no bonded foam or glue. Built to last 12 months with regular play, then enter the right recycling stream.

Roy B.
Field testerComfortable for whole sessions
I play Tuesday and Thursday mornings and used to fade badly with my legs just hurting all the time. 4 weeks in and they now feel pretty strong during my 1-2 hour matches.
Julia K.
Field testerThe heel cup is the whole thing
I've tried four other insoles and they all went flat in the heel within a month. These 3D printed insoles seem to hold their shape entirely. Really impressed.
Dawn Y.
Field testerNot noticiing them is a good thing
I couldn't tell the difference within the first 2 weeks, but then I realized very little arch pain any more. Will order another pair for my hubby.
Simon R.
Field testerNo more taping my foot before I play
I was taping up my left foot every session, took me 10 mins each time. Stopped about 2 weeks into the test and have not gone back to it.
John C.
Field testerWorks, but needed a size smaller
No complaints about the support, it does what they say. The size I was given sat too long in my court shoes and I had to exchange them for the one size below. Lost me 1 week of testing.
Delong Y.
Field testerMy knees stopped complaining
I didn't buy these for my knees, but weirdly it's where I noticed the difference. Just a lot more comfort around my legs in general.
Pete B.
Field testerHolds up to five days a week
I'm retired and play most days. Used HeelBase Drive 'inserts' for 3 weeks - they feel great and they don't smell at all.
Emma B.
Field testerLateral moves feel locked in
The side to side is the biggest annoyance for me especially on my arches. These insoles do the trick and hold me feet really well.
Sophie L.
Field testerBought a second pair for my other shoes
I've already put in an order for an extra pair of these. I'll use a set in each of my court shoes so I don't need to rotate them. Really cool material and very comfortable. Highly recommended!
Raymond L.
Field testerFirst morning steps are normal again
Seriously, getting out of bed on to my feet was uncomfortbale for over 6 months. It's worse after a game of pickleball the night before. I genuinely don't get that discomfort any more with these insoles.
Carsten S.
Field testerSolid support, wish it came in half sizes
The foot support is genuinely good and I am keeping them. Note these are NOT trimmable and I'm between sizes. I took the smaller size which is fine in all honesty.
Partha M.
Field testerMy physical therapist was happy
Told my PT that my stance feels better, less leaning sideways, more sturdy. She said I should keep using them.
Mel P.
Field testerBetter than the stock insole by a mile
My feet used to be soaked by the end of a session. Literally soaked through. The open structure in Drive actually does something which quite honestly I didn't believe from the description. They work, it's that simple.
Matthew C.
Field testerBack on court regularly again!
Plantar fasciitis had me off the court since last spring. I started at 20 mins a session and I am up to a full 90 minsnow. Pretty crazy but these insoles have 100% helped me achieve that in just 3 weeks of use.
Liz K.
Field testerForgot they were in there
Best thing I can say about an insole is that I stopped thinking about my feet. Took about 3 matches to get to that point. Not bad at all. Will buy them.
Daniel G.
Field testerWorth it for the recovery days alone
The playing is better but the day after is much better. No odors, can rinse them under the bathroom tap to clean them and they dry in less than 30 mins. No more soggy insoles!

What the research says
Clinical guidance supports foot orthoses as part of a broader approach, not as a standalone fix. The 2023 plantar fasciitis guideline recommends stretching and says foot orthoses may be used alongside other treatments to help reduce pain and improve function.
