Find yourcomfort setting.
Different people prefer different levels of support. CustomPro uses interchangeable support inserts so each wearer can try the options and choose what feels right for their feet.
Support that adapts to the wearer.
Why one-size-fits-all support falls short
Two people can wear the same pair of shoes and experience them very differently.
Foot shape varies. Pressure is distributed differently, and research shows that pressure beneath the foot can vary with factors including age, sex and body weight. And the level of support one person finds comfortable may not be the one another person prefers.
That is why a single, fixed support profile can only go so far. Instead of assuming there is one correct setting for everyone, CustomPro gives the wearer a choice.
How CustomPro works
CustomPro uses interchangeable support inserts to let the wearer change the level of support underfoot.
Each insole can be fitted with a low, medium or high support profile. Simply swap the insert, walk around in each option and choose the one that feels most comfortable.

Each foot can be configured independently, so you can choose a different support level for your left and right foot if that feels best.
What the research showed
WearerTech worked with biomechanics researchers at the University of Salford to test how different levels of CustomPro support affected pressure under the foot and, crucially, how comfortable each option felt to the wearer.
Participants tried low, medium and high support profiles.

Only 36% of participants preferred the support profile that matched their self-identified foot shape.
Changing the support profile measurably changed pressure beneath the foot, but the setting someone preferred could not simply be predicted from their foot shape.
That is why CustomPro is designed around choice: try the different support levels, feel the difference and choose the setting that works best for you.
How to find your comfort setting
CustomPro is designed to be tried, not prescribed.
Three simple steps
Pop out the insert
Remove the support insert from the insole.
Try another support level
Click in a low, medium or high insert.
Walk around and compare
Try each option and pay attention to what feels most comfortable underfoot.
answer
There is no universally “right” setting. Choose the support level that feels right for you, and remember, each foot can be set up differently.
Personal support. Practical at scale.
CustomPro gives each wearer a degree of personal choice within a standard workplace footwear system.
It is personalisation without turning workplace footwear into a bespoke fitting process.
Employees can find the support setting that feels right for them.
Each wearer can try the options, make their own choice and adjust their setup if they need to.
Employers can provide one straightforward solution across a workforce.
There is no need to identify a single support profile that is supposed to suit everyone.
Part of Science You Can Feel
CustomPro is one example of how WearerTech turns biomechanics research into something people can feel in the working day.
Our work with the University of Salford helps us understand how people stand, move and experience footwear differently, then use that insight to design products around the wearer.
