TheInsole has been clinicallydesigned and biomechanicallyproven to support the arch ofthe foot and control excessivefoot movement (particularlyover-pronation), making thefoot and lower limb more stableand helping to prevent manytypes of foot and lower limbinjury. The Insoles are nowwidely used by Podiatrists andPhysiotherapists across theworld and are now availabledirect to the Law Enforcementprofessionals though Niton999.Professor Chris Nester and PhilLaxton (lecturer and practicingpodiatrist with over 30 yearsof clinical experience treatingsports injuries) headed up theproject. Phil says “walkingand standing for prolongedperiods of time combined withintense bursts of activity placesignificant stresses and strainson the feet and lower limbs”.Podiatrists and Physiotherapistsrecognise that individualswith pronated (flat) feet areparticularly prone to pain underthe heel (plantar Fasciitis -policeman’s heel) in the arch ofthe foot at the front of the shinand knee (runners knee) andAchilles tendon problems. Inaddition feet can ache and feeltired after prolonged periods ofactivity.“In all cases a Podiatrist woulduse this Insole to alter footbiomechanics and improvesymptoms. We have been usingthem widely in our clinicsincluding many police officerswith great success.”Being an over-pronator I haveused these insoles myself inmy trainers. I did find that theaching in my hips and lowerback towards the end of a longrun (when I say run I mean halfjog, half walk), was significantlyreduced as the insoles helpedto stop my feet rolling inwards.Unfortunately they didn’t makeme go any faster!Code FS001FROM£26Code TAC127Designed for Security officers, Dog handlers and Search & Rescuewho don’t need baton and handcuffs pouches, but still need theversatility and comfort of a vest.This 4 Pocket patrol vest has been manufactured to the sameexacting standards as the ever popular Niton Tactical Patrol Vest,but we have made it with just 4 large bellowed pockets.• Click-on dock on the shoulders & 50mm reflective tape• 4 Large bellowed pockets measure:3 Pouches 170 x 130 x 50mm ID Pocket : 180 x 130 x 50mm• Velcro adjustments at the sides & shoulders for a flexible fit• 2 concealed front pockets with YKK zip closures• YKK zip closure on the front of the jacket• Velcro patches on the back and left chest allows you to addyour ID or company badges for that professional imageSizes Small - XLarge.
