JAN code 4562132670200
Size Free size (one size only) for men
Material fabric: 100% Polyester
Back fabric: 95% Acrylic foam; 5% Special ceramics
Note
  • When adjusting your insole size, cut off the periphery of the insole along the outline so that it becomes a little larger than your own foot size and fits your shoes.
  • Dry it well enough before use. (You are recommended to use two pairs of insoles alternately.)
  • Please note that insoles may be partially stained with ink depending on frequency of their use and/or type of material used for your shoes.
  • Since the insoles have some thickness, you are recommended to wear shoes which have enough room for them.
  • The effect may vary from individual to individual.

This insole, which adopts three highly-functional materials, has become innovational.

We kneaded in low-resilience material Pure Black, our original ceramic material emitting characteristic far infrared rays.

We have applied antibacterial (Bioguard) and fitcell processing to the insole manufacturing, so that the insole is recommended for use to people who suffer from "odor" and/or "coldness" of their feet or knee pain.
Though my feet are warmed in winter, they don't get sweaty in summer. This insole is almighty, since it can be used all the year round.

Three highly-advanced functions

  • Fitcell structure gentle to knees
  • Bioguard CGX with antibacterial and deodorizing effects
  • Pure BLACK with hyperthermic effect

Fitcell structure gentle to knees

  • The fitcell material is light and highly shock-absorbing.
  • It is soft to touch and highly restorable in shape.
  • And it has a good air permeability.

When Fitcell was used,When Fitcel was not usedShock-absorbing material FITCELL

  • Density: 0.30-0.34g
  • Tensile strength: 4.0-5.0Kgf
  • Tearing strength: 2-3Kgf
  • Permanent distortion by compression: < 20%
  • Impact resilience: < 5%
  • Impact resilience rate: ≦0.1% (Maker’s test data based on JIS K6301)

Bioguard CGX with antibacterial and deodorizing effects

CGX

CGX is highly effective in eliminating unpleasant foot odor caused by isovaleric acid offensive odor caused by ammonia included in sweat.

Antibacterial effectiveness

CGX has acquired certification numbers for both "general use" and "specified use" from Japan Textile Evaluation Technology Council (JTETC) by meeting the standard of antibacterial effectiveness against Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and MRSA.

Safety

CGX is human-friendly material using antibacterial agent which passed JTETC's strict "Safety Standard."

Durability

Bioguard has met the standard of antibacterial effectivity after the 50-times industrial washing at the temperature of 80℃ specified by JTETC, because antibacterial agent is fixed throughout the fabric like dyes by infiltrating it from the surface deep into the inside.

Pure BLACK with hyperthermic effect

We have been successful in making the material used for Raku-Sole emit unprecedented far infrared rays.

Increased adrenaline secretion puts the body into an active mode, preventing you from snoozing.

"Pure BLACK" has acquired a patent for the function of prevention of snoozing.

It was clarified through the research conducted by University of Tokushima that characteristic far infrared rays emitted by our Pure BLACK-applied products raise both adrenalin and noradrenalin levels, thereby putting the body in a more active mode (fight or flight mode).

They are highly effective for the types of work requiring concentration of mind and sports.
