Cool & Warm: better foot climate for athletes

With the reversible Climfeet insole, the French company SoleCooler has succeeded in creating a real innovation.

To warm one’s feet, there are many ways. For instance, athletes can use warming socks or insoles that achieve the same effect, such as battery-powered ones. Of course, there are also insoles with cooling effects available. Until now, to our knowledge, there were no insoles that can warm on one side and cool after turning. However, the manufacturer SoleCooler has dedicated itself to this topic and has come up with a real innovation. The heat-regulating insoles work on mechanical energy alone – Climfeet insoles work through a natural thermodynamic process. As long as one moves, the process is triggered. Therefore, Climfeet insoles use a completely natural process, converting the mechanical energy of footsteps directly into heat and cold, just like a heat pump. Therefore the insoles have no limit on operating time. The temperature functions, whether warming or cooling the feet, are triggered by foot pressure alone. It may sound like magic, but it is understandable if approached objectively. It is easy to distinguish the temperature performances of each side of the Climfeet insole visually. The red side provides a heat output of up to 4 degrees, while switching to blue cools the feet down to minus 3.5 degrees. With its Climfeet product, SoleCooler is targeting all athletes who train on frozen or hot surfaces, people who have cold feet per se (e.g., senior citizens), and numerous workers in the construction industry or cold stores.

Jury-Statement:

»That there is such a breakthrough innovation in the crowded market of insoles quite honestly surprised us. A simple principle that can be applied without great technical know-how or battery power and has an immediate effect – great. One can be curious to see how the industry and end consumers will react to the innovation. Now there is a product that can be marketed in an exciting way.«
