Step Lightly: FootActive Launches Green Steps — the Sustainable, Vegan Orthotic Insole for Conscious Comfort

Fashion News

FootActive, one of the UK’s leading orthotic specialists, has unveiled Green Steps, their first fully eco-friendly and vegan orthotic insoles. Designed to deliver exceptional comfort and biomechanical arch support without compromising on ethics or sustainability, Green Steps marks a major stride forward in environmentally responsible footcare.

Crafted entirely from vegan-approved, recycled and biodegradable materials, Green Steps offers the same trusted, podiatrist-designed support that FootActive is known for — now with a planet-positive approach.

“We know that today’s consumers want products that feel good in every sense — for their bodies and for the planet,” said William Munro, Director of FootActive. “Green Steps is our response: The first aftermarket high-performance orthotics that are ethically made, cruelty-free, and designed for a sustainable future.”

Planet-Kind Innovation

Each of the Green Steps insoles feature:

  • FATES™ Support Base – made from 78% bio-based material for a firm, yet flexible arch support.
  • Organic Cotton Top Layer – breathable and odour-resistant, offering all-day freshness without animal-derived materials.
  • Plant-Based Adhesives and Dyes – ensuring every component is certified vegan-friendly.
  • Recyclable Packaging – crafted from FSC-certified cardboard and printed with soy-based inks.
  • Carbon-Neutral Production – manufactured in facilities powered by renewable energy.

For Every Ethical Step

Our insoles are created to help provide specialised support. The ECO PF insoles are designed to help relieve the symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis, built to keep your sole happy. And our ECO Active insoles are the sustainable solution to improving your performance no matter the activity.
