1 Your feet are our main concern Foot comfort by Berkemann

2 Foot comfort by Berkemann for the well-being of your feet. Our feet are subjected to great strain all day, every day. Shoes that are poorly made or do not fit well only add to this. That is why products are needed that offer our feet more comfort, whether by relieving discomfort caused by pressure or by gently correcting malpositions. This catalogue gives you an overview of all the foot comfort products by Berkemann for which we have used our 125 years of experience concerning feet, the latest insights from the area of foot orthopaedics, and our knowledge on the use of innovative and natural materials. When selecting our basic materials, we make sure that they are permeable and moisture absorbent if at all possible, thus making them especially skinfriendly, and we deliberately forego the use of gel products, which can cause skin irritations or allergies when exuding silicone oil.
