After working as the company distributor in Russia for Formthotics, a representative from Podiator paid a visit to the company headquarters in Christchurch just recently. With the relationship moving along well, the visit shows the strong relationship between the two and Formthotics will hope the Russian progress continues.

Having been an ambassador for Team Formthotics, all eyes were on his performance at the Ski Cross World Championships this year. With Formthotics in his ski boots, he managed to finish in second place and secure a silver medal. In a recent interview, he said that Formthotics were his secret weapon and that he was “hugely proud to have pulled out my best result to date”.

All businesses welcome praise for their products especially if the praise is coming from a customer and that is exactly what has happened for Formthotics this week. This product has been recommended for everyone who finds themselves on their feet all day as a result of their lifestyle or job and now even doctors are prescribing them as a relief strategy. This is what happened to Sarah Tharp from the US who contacted the company responsible to say her thanks.

Sarah Tharp works as a zoo keeper where she finds herself on her feet day in, day out. She works at St Louis Zoo which has nearly 100 acres of land and is well-known for its sheer amount of animals; over 18,000 in total. Sarah also contributes to a number of programs at the zoo including conservation, preservation and education. This has led to problems with her feet and as a result, she decided to try Formthotics whilst travelling around Australia from which her kind review was written.

She said “Formthotics are not only comfy but durable and waterproof. I’m on my feet all day, hiking at least 12km and I need all the cushion and support I can get. I can’t find any other insoles that even come close to Formthotics.”

Sarah leads a life of standing and walking all day; a life that many people all around the world experience. However, she has been lucky in finding a product that supports not just her feet but also take the pressure off her knees, ankles and back too!

One of the world’s best free-ski competitors, Jamie Prebble, has said that Formothics is his secret weapon when it comes to competing against his rivals. Formothics are known for increasing comfort and reducing muscle fatigue; now Jamie Prebble has said that he uses them regularly to give him that competitive edge and aid his responsiveness when on the slopes.

The whole story is due to be told at ISPO 2016, in Munich, Germany, as he has produced a ski-cross training video for the Formothics booth which is set to feature.
