What are thermoformed insoles?

Il existe deux types de semelles orthopédiques, ou orthèses plantaire. Un spécialiste du pied, podologue ou orthopédiste, peut réaliser des semelles dites traditionnelles ou des semelles thermoformées.

  • La semelle traditionnelle est réalisée par empreinte du pied, sur une surface plate.
  • La semelle thermoformée est réalisée par moulage du pied en 3 dimensions.
    Chez New Equilibre, toutes les semelles sont thermoformées sur un pied physiologique « parfait » et conviennent donc à toutes les morphologies sans devoir êtres moulées sur votre pied.

Tout savoir sur les semelles thermoformées :

Le thermoformage permet une meilleur répartition des charges en augmentant la surface d’appuis de vos puis à 100%, diminuant ainsi les zones de pressions excessives.

  • La forme d’une semelle thermoformée se caractérise principalement par :
    Un soutien des voutes plantaires interne et externe du pied,
  • Un anneau talonnier stabilisant l’arrière-pied,
  • Un appui rétro capital (ARC) soutenant les têtes métatarsiennes à l’avant-pied.

Cette forme thermoformée est conçue en double résine pour un maintient résistant. Viennent ensuite différents matériaux assemblés au niveau de l’avant-pied et de l’arrière-pied.
Ces matériaux sont choisis en fonction de votre activité, sportive ou non. Pour le quotidien, la semelle orthopédique sera conçue avec des matériaux confortables et amortissants. Tandis que pour le sport, les matériaux seront spécifiques à vos prises d’appuis caractéristiques de votre activité : Matériaux restituteur d’énergie à l’avant-pied, absorption de l’onde de choc à l’arrière-pied, anneaux talonnier pour stabiliser le talon, soutien du 1er Métatarse pour favoriser le mouvement de pivot, etc.

Comment entretenir ses semelles thermoformées ?

Le principal traitement de l’aponévrosite plantaire va consister à ré axer au mieux le pied. Ceci permettra d’éviter tout mouvement parasite du pied, entrainant un travail de retenue, un travail excentrique de l’aponévrose plantaire. C’est là que la semelle orthopédique a son importance dans votre paire de chaussures.

En effet, la semelle New Equilibre, va envelopper et stabiliser le talon avec son anneau talonnier. Ainsi, le talon se trouvera calé dans le meilleur axe possible. Au centre de la semelle, les deux soutiens des voûtes plantaires, interne et externe, vont permettre au pied de rester toujours dans le bon axe, lors de sa phase d’appui plantaire.

Tout mauvais mouvement interne ou externe, pouvant encore favoriser un travail excentrique de l’aponévrose plantaire, est alors évité. Enfin, la partie antérieure de la semelle New Equilibre, grâce à sa barre rétro capitale intégrée, va favoriser une bonne propulsion du pied. Il pourra alors quitter le sol dans le meilleur axe possible, car rappelons que l’aponévrose plantaire termine son insertion antérieure au niveau des orteils.

Quelle est la durée de vie d'une semelle thermoformée ?

Pour une efficacité optimale, il est conseillé de renouveler régulièrement ses semelles. Même si elles paraissent en bon état, que vos douleurs restent soulagées, il faudra les remplacer au bout d’un certain temps. En moyenne, on change de semelles orthopédiques tous les ans. Cependant, certaines personnes plus lourdes devront les changer tous les 6 mois, alors que d’autres pourront attendre un an et demi.

        14 days,
        Money-back guarantee

        At New Equilibre, we believe it's impossible to know if a pair of insoles is right for you without trying them in real life. Sometimes it takes a few days to adjust.

        That's why we decided to go further: You can try our insoles for 14 days, even if they've been worn – and if you're not completely satisfied, we'll refund you.

        We designed our products with high standards: premium materials, optimal support, cushioning technology, and ergonomic design. We know that once worn, they will be adopted.

        Our promise is simple: Try risk-free, decide freely.

        Try them today, without hesitation: your feet will thank you!

        Return form

        Important before requesting a return:


        New Equilibre insoles are designed to actively support your arches. During the first few days of use, it is therefore common to feel:
        • A feeling of a “lump” under the foot
        • unusual pressure in the arch of the foot
        • a different feeling from your old insoles or shoes


        In the vast majority of cases, it's simply the foot adjusting to the rebalancing of the support. This sensation gradually disappears after a few hours or days of wear. We therefore recommend a trial period of a few days before any return request.

        You get a 14-day trial to test your insoles under real-use conditions.
        However, if you experience significant and persistent pain, you should not force yourself to wear the insoles. In rare cases, this could be due to an incorrect shoe size or a morphological adaptation issue. Our team remains available to assist you if needed.
        Need help choosing your insoles?


        We will ask you a few questions to determine which insoles best suit your needs.

        New Equilibre

        High-tech orthopedic insoles, developed by French orthopedists.,
        which have required over 35 years of research and in-house testing.

        Made in France
        Made in France

        New Equilibre's orthopedic insoles are a subsidiary of Forlini Orthopédie. They adapt to all morphologies, flat or hollow feet, valgus or varus feet, and to all types of footwear, for the city, for work and for sport.

        Musculoskeletal system relieved

        The concept is based on thermoformed insoles molded onto perfectly balanced, physiological foot modules. So when your feet rest on New Equilibre orthopedic insoles, your whole posture is stabilized.

        The molded shape of New Equilibre insoles increases the supporting areas of your feet on the ground and redistributes your body's weight over a larger surface. All areas of your foot are thus supported by the insole, and it is this maximum support that relieves all your plantar pain and that of your entire spine.

        Stability gain

        New Equilibre orthopedic insoles stabilize your heel with their integrated heel cups at the back of the insole. They also stabilize your midfoot with internal and external arch supports and forefoot support. Finally, they harmoniously distribute pressure across your metatarsal heads. The forefoot is also more stable, thus promoting excellent foot propulsion.

        It's very important to realize that our feet support our entire skeleton within a few square centimetres.
        New Equilibre insoles allow your body to regain its lost balance.

        Resting joint positions

        With the foot stabilized, the ankle, knee, hip and spine are relieved of stress.

        Spreading your body's weight over a larger surface area reduces the fatigue of muscles and tendons. This increases their capacity for recovery and facilitates good performance by all musculo-tendinous groups.

        Size Guide

        To help you choose your size, we recommend removing the original removable insole from your shoes, and measuring from heel to toe.

        Next, compare the size of your original insole with the Insole size New Equilibre via the table below. Then select the corresponding size when ordering.
