Dr. Scholl’s is a global leader in footcare, dedicated to helping people experience the benefits of insoles and providing trusted, clinically proven solutions for foot discomfort.

Founded in 1906 by Dr. William Scholl, a podiatrist and prolific innovator, the brand has a long history of advancing foot health. Over the course of his life, Dr. Scholl developed more than 1,000 patented products, addressing everyday foot problems that were often overlooked or left untreated. His commitment to practical innovation and improving patient comfort continues to guide the development of Dr. Scholl’s products. Today, Dr. Scholl’s operates globally, with headquarters and major offices across the US, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Japan and Australia, supporting patients and health care professionals worldwide.

This documentary explores the important role that insoles and orthotics can play in supporting foot health. Globally, around 66% of people experience some form of foot discomfort, yet only about half seek solutions. Appropriate support can make a significant difference. Insoles are designed to help redistribute pressure, improve biomechanical alignment and absorb impact, helping to reduce discomfort and support mobility.

Featuring insights from Professor Chris Nester, podiatrist and lower limb specialist, as well as Sam Horrocks, director of product development at Dr. Scholl’s, the film provides an overview of the stresses feet experience during everyday activity and highlights how pharmacists can help patients find appropriate solutions. Through conversation and product recommendation, pharmacists can help patients address discomfort early, before it begins to affect mobility, work or overall quality of life.

The film also emphasizes the importance of education for health care professionals, demonstrating how insoles and orthotics can form part of a practical approach to managing common foot complaints in pharmacy.

As health care systems face increasing pressure from rising costs and growing demand, accessible interventions such as footcare support and insoles can help people manage discomfort earlier and maintain mobility, supporting both patient well-being and the sustainability of health care services.
