Built for the pitch — agility, endurance, and the cleat.
The Soccer device is designed to fit almost any cleat, replacing the sock liner. Its thinner shell and layer of cushioning deliver functional support and shock absorption without sacrificing ball feel — while a first-ray cutout frees the 1st ray for agility, dribbling, and technical footwork.
Built for both endurance and agility. The Soccer device gives competitive players precision and control over the ball — built congruent to the athlete's own foot model, not an average.
Any cleat — replaces the sock liner
The thin shell drops into firm-ground, turf, and most soccer cleats once the factory sock liner is removed.
First-ray cutout for agility
Frees the 1st ray to move along its full length — increasing precision and control over the ball for dribbling and technical footwork.
Symptomatic feet & biomechanical pathology
Functional correction and heel-to-toe Myolite cushioning for soccer players managing moderate to advanced pathology.
Functional correction, congruent to the foot.
Built from a positive model of the patient's foot and modifiable at the clinician's discretion — scanned and ordered through FootID Pro.
Shape is everything.
What separates Root from generic sport insoles is the precise morphological shape captured from the patient's foot — held in the exact clinical position the clinician chose. No averaging. No guesswork.
The Soccer device is built from a positive model of the patient's foot and can be modified at the practitioner's discretion. This means every device fits the patient it was made for — not an approximation.
Modern Root
Width adjusted considering both borders. Default for all Root models.
Traditional Root
Justified to the lateral border. Used for specific clinical indications at practitioner discretion.
Modern Root shape process
- Forefoot balanced to rearfoot — forefoot-to-rearfoot relationship is optimised as the first step in shape modification.
- Fat pad expanded ~3mm — ensures the device fills the calcaneal contour precisely for the patient's heel.
- Arch lowered ~3mm — creates optimal heel-to-arch-to-met-head geometry. Not applied to foam impressions.
- Width tuned to both borders — medial and lateral widths considered together, giving a foundation that matches the patient's actual foot width.
*Subtalar joint neutral is found by palpating the talus head against the navicular. The neutral position can present many joint-on-joint and bone-on-bone relationships and varies from person to person. An everted or inverted calcaneus may be a neutral position for an individual person. Biomechanical evaluation required.
How you hold the foot is what we build.
Root is not just the orthotic — it's the clinician's positioning, captured and preserved in the device. After scanning, FootID Pro asks the questions no other lab asks.
After every scan, we need to know:
- Was the subtalar joint held in neutral?
- Was the midtarsal joint maximally pronated — loading the 5th metatarsal head?
- Was the midtarsal joint maximally supinated — loading the 1st metatarsal head?
- Was the forefoot brought perpendicular to the rearfoot?
- Was a forefoot-to-rearfoot balance bisection achieved at 90° relative to the calcaneal bisection?
The positioning of those 19 joints in the foot is what gives us the shape.
CAD/CAM fabrication
- Scan or cast captured — clinician captures foot morphology via FootID Pro, holding the subtalar joint in the chosen clinical position.
- Shape modification applied — forefoot balanced to rearfoot, fat pad expanded, arch adjusted using Root's design process.
- Technical staff review — every device reviewed against Traditional Root, Modern Root, Blake Inverted, or Accommodative principles.
- Fabricated to the shape — the polypropylene frame and EVA post are fabricated to match the submitted shape precisely.

Variation converted to anatomy-match accuracy by impression & fabrication method
How closely each method preserves the patient’s intended foot shape. Scale: 0–100%, where 100% = optimal congruence.
Plaster bandage is wrapped around the foot in the clinician’s prescribed corrected position, setting into a precise negative of the foot’s contour.
The foot is pressed into a crushable foam box, leaving a negative impression of the plantar surface.
An existing positive model from the patient’s previous orthotics is reused — KevinRoot accepts models from any lab, with frame-contour variance as low as 1%.
A digital scanner such as FootID Pro captures the foot surface as a 3D model.
A fiberglass casting sock is applied over the foot and cures to capture its contour.
Pedobarography captures the patient’s plantar pressure distribution (static or dynamic) at 1:1 scale — used with arch height and shoe size to select a redimold positive model, not to capture true 3D contour.
A direct-molding system using prefabricated, size- and arch-based positive models (33 in total) rather than an individual foot impression.
Heated material is vacuum-pressed over a plaster positive model, drawing it intimately into every contour.
The frame is 3D printed by selective laser sintering (SLS) directly from the CAD-designed digital frame.
A positive model is CNC-milled (CAD/CAM) from an STS, 3D scan, plaster, or foam impression, then the frame is vacuum formed over it.
A CNC machine subtractively mills the frame from a block of polypropylene or EVA per the digital design.
*Redimold has no physical or digital foot impression — patient-foot-to-cast congruent accuracy is unavailable. Variation from positive model to frame is low.
How your patient's foot shape becomes a precision frame.
The journey from clinical capture to finished Soccer frame is where Root's expertise lives. Every step preserves the shape and position the clinician chose for that patient.
- Foot impression captured — the clinician captures the foot using their preferred method. How the foot is held directly determines the congruency of the finished device.
- Positive model created — the impression becomes a physical plaster model or a digital CAD/CAM model. Digital models are stored indefinitely for future pairs.
- Root technicians modify the shape — every modification reviewed against the prescription. Rearfoot post, heel cup depth, and cover selection confirmed per patient.
- Soccer frame fabricated — the thin polypropylene shell is vacuum formed over the positive model with a first-ray cutout. A heel-to-toe Myolite cushion and Prolite top cover are applied, forefoot balanced to rearfoot.
FitFoot360 Foot Model
- Root digital model stored indefinitely → recalled for future pairs
- Root technicians modify the digital shape in real-time: arch, heel, width, postings
- Vacuum formed over CAD/CAM positive model, direct milled or 3D printed Root Frame — replicable, consistent, precise
Real-time control over shape, function, and fit.
FitFoot360 gives Root's technicians complete digital control over every dimension of the orthotic frame — in real time. What once required physical carving and guesswork is now precise, repeatable, and stored permanently for every patient.
Digital positive model
Stored indefinitely. Future pairs, replacements, or modifications can be fabricated from the exact same shape without a new impression.
Real-time shape modification
Root technicians control arch, heel, width, and postings directly in the software.
Every parameter visible
Heel cup depth, frame reinforcement, ray cut-outs, flanges, and more are set per patient, not per template.
Plaster and foam digitisation
Physical models can be digitised for permanent storage. Note: digitising may not perfectly replicate the intimate contours achieved when vacuum forming directly over plaster.
Built to their spec. Built for their foot.
Every parameter of the Soccer device is set to the individual patient — frame rigidity, rearfoot posting, heel cup depth, and covers are all chosen for that patient's anatomy, weight, and activity demands. Forefoot is balanced to rearfoot and the device is custom congruent to the foot model.
A thinner functional polypropylene shell — low-profile and versatile enough to fit any cleat while still delivering support and correction.
Frees the 1st ray to move along its entire length — increasing flexibility, precision, and control over the ball for agility and dribbling.
An intrinsic rearfoot post keeps the device thin for cleats while stabilizing the rearfoot congruent to the patient's foot.
Pressed from the patient's calcaneus, the low-profile 6mm heel cup controls inversion and eversion while fitting the narrow heel of a cleat.
A clean functional shell with no filler — keeping the device thin so it seats correctly beneath the foot in a snug cleat.
A heel-to-toe Myolite cushion adds shock absorption and comfort across the full length of the device.
Proprietary Prolite padded top cover — moisture control, shock absorption, and cushioning underfoot for high-volume play.
Suede bottom cover protects the polypropylene shell and seats cleanly on the cleat's footbed.

Designed for agility, control, and ball feel.
The Soccer device pairs a thin polypropylene shell with an intrinsic rearfoot post — delivering functional correction and rearfoot stability while staying low-profile enough for a cleat. A 6mm heel cup controls inversion and eversion of the calcaneus, and a first-ray cutout frees the 1st ray for agility and technical footwork.
A heel-to-toe Myolite cushion and a proprietary Prolite top cover add shock absorption and cushioning — so the device stays comfortable through 90 minutes while maintaining the support and control competitive play demands.
The right frame
for the pitch.
The Soccer device sits on the Performance frame profile — a thin, agile fit
that drops into cleats without crowding the foot.
