About 4POINT
4POINT is the brand of Fußorthopädie Paul Hast GmbH from Hamburg-Bergedorf, an orthopedic shoemaking specialist company with a history since 1919. The company manufactures custom-sized insoles that combine orthopedic craftsmanship with digital design and modern SLS 3D printing (selective laser sintering). The insole core is produced layer by layer from a flexible plastic material; dynamically flexible areas and specifically placed functional elements can be integrated directly into the core. The product range includes leisure, sneaker, sport, running, running light, and football insoles, as well as the standardized alternative 4POINT BASIC. Selection is made via an online insole finder, where foot data is recorded during the ordering process; based on this, each insole is individually designed and manufactured. More than 10,000 fittings have already been completed using the company's own technology.
