5 Daily basis My work demands a high daily pace. Alarm clock at 3:00 a.m., constant change of country and, especially, many hours of standing with footwear that, although it is ergonomic, it ends up affecting in the health of my feet. With Silicoplant silicone bunion shield I feel relief on my feet when I need it most, and the push to continue my work with energy. María Sánchez. Madrid. 6 7

6 We take care of the health of your beloved ones Since my son was little, the doctor warned us that his way of treading was not the most appropriate for his development. In addition to taking care of the shoes we buy, we include the Silicoplant heeler in his shoes that help to cushion the impact of the heel against the floor and distribute the pressure better. And we are much calm now. Manuel Sarria. San Sebastián. 8 9

7 We have the perfect solution for you 3 times a week I go running with my husband. We love being able to practice outdoor sports! But, a couple of years ago I had an injury. The doctor recommended me the use of insoles for the practice of sport to guarantee the balance and the distribution of the pressure without assuming me a nuisance. I opted for the Silicoplant templates and I am very happy. The time passes and I still have them as new, in addition, to feel much comfort while I do jogging.. Isabel Montálvez. Granada
