NovaPED Rugby insole
Categories: TOGS Insoles, Novaped Sports
Rugby Union is a sport played by people of all shapes and sizes. Each player has a specific task on the pitch that involves a combination of running, jumping and pushing. All these activities place a tremendous strain on the feet and can cause aches and pains or even injury. Today a large number of rugby players wear football boots during training and when they are playing rugby.
Modern football and rugby boots provide very little cushioning or support. The insoles supplied with the boots do not offer the foot enough protection especially when a player is pushing in a scrum, landing at the line-out or competing at the break down. Other commercial OTC insoles can take up too much room in the boot.

NovaPED Rugby Insole benefits
The benefits of NovaPED Rugby insoles are:
- Cushion, support and protect the feet during training and playing

- Fit exactly into the boot
- Protect the heel pad
- Support the metatarsal bones and spread weight more evenly across the ball of the foot
- Support the medial longitudinal arch of the foot and indirectly slow down and/or reduces subtalar and midtarsal joint pronation
- Protect the feet from the pressure points created by the studs especially under the first metatarsal head and the interphalangeal joint of the hallux
