ZOL solutions

ZOL is a footwear brand focused on supporting active children who experience heel discomfort, including pain that may be associated with Sever’s disease. Its flagship product, the ZOL insole, was developed with input from podologists as a ready-to-use comfort and support option for growing feet. The 3/4-length design fits inside football, hockey and other sports shoes, and can be moved between pairs.

Each insole combines a firm heel cup, targeted cushioning and support for the heel and rearfoot to help manage impact during activity. ZOL is available in six double sizes, from EU 34/35 to 44/45, and is priced at €99. 95.

The brand was created by Maks and Thijn, drawing on personal experience with heel pain, their work as ski boot fitters and an existing insole design developed by register podologist Marco-Paul Breijer. ZOL presents its product as an accessible alternative to an individually fitted treatment pathway, while noting that it is not a custom-fitted medical device and that persistent or severe pain should be assessed by a healthcare professional
