An active insole designed to combine everyday arch support with low-level electrical stimulation you switch on yourself during periods of foot discomfort. No wires, no adhesive pads, no second device to carry.

If this sounds familiar
A long day of standing and walking loads the arch, the heel and the ankle — and for a lot of people, it ends in feet that ache. What's on the shelf today mostly holds the foot up. Very little gives you anything to reach for when the discomfort actually starts.
One shape for every foot. A softer layer underfoot, with nothing to reach for when discomfort starts.
Molded to you and made to hold the foot, and any benefit builds slowly, over months of wear.
A handheld unit, wires and adhesive pads you set up each time — it lives in a drawer, not in your shoe.
The same all-day arch support, with stimulation built into the insole — designed to be switched on the moment discomfort starts, with no second device to carry or set up.

Exploded view of the V1 prototype.
The prototype is actively being improved — comfort, stability, battery life and the stimulation system are all still changing between iterations. The on/off switch in the video is the V1 control; a proper power button replaces it in V2. Every feature shown is still under development. What you see here illustrates the concept, not the finished product. Nothing shown is available for sale.
What a day with it looks like
Two functions in one insole — support that is always on, and stimulation that waits for you.
Trims to fit the closed-toe shoes you already own and wears like any cushioned insole. Nothing to strap on, nothing to set up, nothing to remember.
The arch support works the whole shift while the electronics stay sealed under the arch — worn 8+ hours straight in our comfort testing.
Sit down, choose low or high for each foot, and let it run while you rest. No wires, no adhesive pads, no second device — the stimulation is already in the insole.
Rest is part of the design, for two reasons. A still foot keeps the stimulation pads in steady contact with the skin. And the stimulation is intended for the moments after activity — when the muscles and nerves in the foot are already aggravated — rather than during it. Wear it all day for support; switch the stimulation on when you sit down or stand still.
What we've proven so far
Bench results from our own lab — the hardware, not the therapy.
Engineering and durability results from our own bench testing: they describe how the hardware is built and holds up, not symptom relief or clinical benefit.
We can describe what NeuraSole is designed to do, but we have not yet established how well it does it. That testing is the work in front of us — and it's the reason we want to hear from you now rather than after.
How we got here
Where NeuraSole started, and where it is now.
We interviewed 33 people who live with foot discomfort. Their answers — what they do all day, what they've tried, what they'd actually wear — became the design requirements everything since has been tested against.
Before building further, we put the concept in front of a practicing podiatrist. The guidance became part of the design brief: expect temporary relief, not a cure; build it as a companion to the care that already works — bracing, physical therapy — never a replacement; and take the contraindications seriously.
Support shell, stimulation pads and the electronics, assembled and working in our own lab — a real object, not a rendering.
The application is on file and now under the USPTO's fast-track examination program.
Three prototype generations and a working phone app, each build put through the same bench tests — load, wear, battery, Bluetooth.
Finishing the electrode design and measuring how the stimulation performs. The early-access list below is where those results land first.
NeuraSole is being built by a mechanical engineer who has lived with foot discomfort since childhood — through school sports, long days on a college campus, and a pair of custom orthotics that ended up in a drawer. NeuraSole is the product that was missing.
