Bilal works in a standing position and walks a lot

Bilal tested our JLF Pro® insoles in real-life conditions.

My job is to prepare mixtures of ingredients according to precise recipes that will serve as raw materials for the final production line. In my case, this involves creating shoe polish pastes and other shoe care products. So, my daily tasks can be summed up as follows: retrieving raw materials from stock, weighing them, mixing them, checking, adjusting, pouring into vats, etc.

Given these tasks, it’s easy to guess that I spend the whole day walking intensively, whether it’s for short or long journeys, and my legs end up feeling heavy at the end of the day… and then even when I’m not moving, I stay on my feet and soon find myself with pain under my feet, or even in my knees and back… In short, it’s true that given the nature of my work, it’s complicated to do things differently and avoid these everyday problems.

I recently had the opportunity to test JLF Pro® insoles specially designed for workstations like mine and I was pleasantly surprised.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that the fatigue has completely disappeared, but the change is clearly visible and you can feel it. Less tiredness, less pain, it’s nothing like it. Yes, I totally recommend them.
