The Batz customized insole is a patent protected, proprietary insole made of a foam built up of closed cells: EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam material.

How are the customized insoles made?
After the foot pressure measurement and the collection of your personal data, the picture of your foot pressure and other infromation are sent by internet connection to the Batz design centre. There, our experts design your insoles with the assistance of the EasyCad 3D software according to the anatomical characteristics of your feet. During the insoles design phase, a special algorithm, which was elaborated by the “Sapienza Universita Roma” University, supports our experts. This algorithm contains thousands of different feet pressure pictures, and based on the information, it offers automatic adjustments to achieve the most appropriate supports for your unique foot case. After the design phase is completed, a computer-controlled milling machine carves your customized insoles from the carefully choosen EVA foam (from different hardness and density). Then they are manually burnished to perfectly fit inside the shoes. At the end of the process, the chosen cover material is placed on the top of the insole to finish the product. All insoles are made totally individually.
How long do the customized insoles last?
The Batz customized insole’s material is extremely durable made with special EVA foam preserving its flexibility and original shape for several years.

How do I use the customized insoles?
In the first few days, use the insole for only 1-2 hours and then gradually increase the use to 2-4 hours/day. Progressively increase the duration of wearing the insoles until you get used to them.

The duration of getting used to them may take longer for elderly people. During night time, it is recommended to take the insole out of the shoe to let it breathe.
