Sound familiar?

Sore feet have become normal. They shouldn't be.

Most of us spend decades in cushioned shoes on flat, hard ground. Our feet were built for more, and all that time boxed in leaves them weak, stiff and underworked.

Your feet ache after a long day on them.
The first steps out of bed feel stiff.
Your ankles feel weak or wobbly on uneven ground.
Your toes feel cramped and squashed together.
You've tried stretches, rollers, supports or new shoes, and you're still not where you want to be.
You've started sitting out the walks, hikes and games you used to love.

The good news: feet respond to training just like the rest of your body. The SoleMate Kit gives you the plan, the tools and the coaching to do it.

Our approach

Your feet aren't broken. They're underused.

Feet adapt to what you ask of them, at any age. So we don't prop them up. We train them.

01
Train, no magic pill
Quick fixes don't address the root cause and leave you feeling disempowered. We build the strength, balance and mobility your feet need to do the work themselves.
02
Start where you are
The Balance Screen finds your starting point, then the program progresses one block at a time. You move up when you're ready.
03
Make it stick
Short follow-along sessions, live coaching and weekend games with the family. Training you'll actually keep doing.

Built by people who've spent their careers on feet

Jim Dooner (Physiotherapist, Head of TFC Training), Tom Williams (Physiotherapist, TFC Pro Educator) and Andy Bryant (Podiatrist, TFC Pro Educator) bring 41 years of combined experience working with feet. They took what they teach in person and made it something you can follow at home.

How it works

See how the SoleMate works

One tool, many ways to train. See how the pieces become a roller, balance beams and a slant block.

What's inside your training kit

Everything you need to train the feet that have been holding you back, and nothing you don't.

£82

Feet adapt to varied input, not more cushioning. Designed by TFC's training team, its natural cork pieces split, combine and stack into a roller, balance beams and a slant block. No gym, no setup.

SoleMate

The 5-in-1 Foot and Balance Training Tool

£22

Most shoes keep toes pressed together all day. Wear these while you train and give your toes room to spread, a little more each day.

Wild Toes

Improve Toe Splay

£14

Training sticks when it's fun. Grip it, flick it to a partner, take it on holiday. Handcrafted in Guatemala, and it fits in your pocket.

Foot Sack

Training That Feels Like a Game

Feet that hold you back usually just haven't been trained. Our education team of physiotherapists and a podiatrist built this step-by-step plan to build function: for sore, achy feet, that means training them stronger and more capable, from beginner to advanced. Press play, follow along, tick it off. Yours for life.

SoleMate Training Program

The 12-Week Step-by-Step Program

£45

Stuck or unsure if you're doing it right? Ask a TFC-certified coach and get an answer, not a guess. Weekly live classes keep you moving, so you're never training alone.

Happy HOWZAT!!

If this is how my husband is going to umpire the cricket all summer long, he needs to have happy feet!!! We all know what we should do to keep our feet healthy, but having it all bundled up in one package with videos and explanations makes for a really supportive journey for optimal foot health. Thanks so much for your passion!

Hi Nat,
We love this! Happy feet make for happy umpires (and family too!). It’s fantastic to hear that the bundle of tools and videos is making foot health easy and enjoyable for you both. Thanks for sharing your experience and for trusting us on your foot journey!

Feet First!

I am a PT Specialist, trained Ballet dancer so I have a special interest in feet.
When working with clients, their feet are my first priority along with stability. Your feet can do fab things for you with a bit of training. I don't understand why in sport they do not train and focus more on feet?!!
The Foot Collective have created a valuable source of information, important therapeutic exercises and simple transportable kit. It has been inspiring and exciting for me as a trainer and my clients love using Solemate and the challenges we work on together. The way you can use Solemate is endless and great fun. Face your feet if you can't face exercise and see the change!

Isobel Brown icanBfit London GB review photo

Hi Isobel,
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s fantastic to hear how much you value foot training in your work as a PT and former ballet dancer. We’re thrilled that SoleMate and our resources are inspiring both you and your clients, and that you’re enjoying the endless ways to use it. Keep having fun and helping others face their feet—you’re making a big difference!

2 month process

Much more mobility, less pain, changing all may shoes habits , constant training
Best Sabi

Hi Sabi,
We’re thrilled to hear about your progress! It’s amazing that you’re experiencing more mobility, less pain, and even rethinking your shoe habits. Keep up the consistent training—you’re doing fantastic!

TFC Solemate

Still learning to use the product. Impressed thus far.
My solemate does not have the slits inside that enables the two sections to join and become a long log.

Hi Noreen,
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear you’re enjoying getting to know the SoleMate. Unfortunately, none of our SoleMates can be joined, in our videos when this is done they're just aligned onto the other. I've sent you an email to come up with some solutions for this!

Fun little training prop for mobile feet & better balance

I love the nifty Solemate training tool made of natural, practical, wipeable cork. The two half rollers can be used to enhance foot and toe exercises like calf raises and toe pianos. Stand on the curved surfaces to help spread toes into a more 'natural' position. Stack them up to elevate heels for greater depth in your squat. Practise balancing with them in a line like a beam. Improvise - make up your own games and ways to use them. And there is a suprise within - a small cork roller for rolling out tricky tight tissues on your sole, top of the foot, calf and beyond.

Hi Julie,
We’re so glad you’re enjoying your SoleMate! It’s wonderful to hear how you’re getting creative with it — from foot and toe exercises to balance practice and rolling out tight areas. Thanks so much for sharing all the ways you’re making the most of it — it really means a lot to us!

Love our sole mates!

My husband and I have loved using our sole mate to strengthen our feet and improve our balance.

It’s fun to do and makes you feel like a kid again when you can walk with toes spread out and have better balance. We have switched to barefoot shoes as well.

Hi Crystal!
So good to hear you’re both enjoying your SoleMates and feeling the benefits. Love that it’s bringing strength, balance, and a sense of play back into movement!

Amazingly versatile product!!

I’ve had my SoleMate for 3 months now and it has quickly rose to the top of my mobility and balance tools. There are so many ways to use it, the only limiter is your creativity!
Build your movement capacity from the ground (feet) up!
Awesome creations guys!!

I'm in love!

Finally I've found true love with my SOLEMATE 💗👣💗 Now my clients and friends want one too. 🤗

The training and community are also absolutely incredible! Looking forward to continuing to level up my foot freedom and barefoot fitness skills for thriving lifelong.

Thank you! 💪💖

The best tools for my training sessions!

I really liked the kit, the solemate is amazing for my balance training! The spacers made a huge difference in my foot function during my resistance training and the hacky sak is challenging but so much fun!! Using them on a daily basis not only in my training sessions but in my movement snacks during my working hours and in my breaks throughout the day! Fully recommend it! And the tote bag is so cute! I love it!

My foot recovery

A few years ago I realised my feet were not getting better and when I got a job which means I walk around 40000 steps a day I had to get away from pain so I started wearing barefoot shoes then not that long ago I bought this kit. Don't take me wrong I have a long road ahead my big toes face wrong direction, my second toe is longer than first and over time and it has turned under so yes the pain is real but persistence is the key. Thankyou foot collective for helping my journey.

Restores normal foot mobility

Simon Reid principal physiotherapist at Macquarie Street Physiotherapy, in the Sydney CBD reviews the new Sole Mate foot restoration tool from The Foot Collective Australia in the below you tube video. Having experienced foot and achilles pain himself, he has felt a dramatic improvement since using this tool
The video demonstrates the exercises you can do to strengthen and restore normal foot mobility using this tool. This is a product he happily recommends to patients and uses in strength classes at the practice. Simon hopes these exercises assists current and future patients to get creative in their exercise routines, and stay active.

Finally Found my SoulMate

We've been using the SoulMate at my Exercise Physiology clinic for a few weeks now and as a team we are loving it. It's proving to be an excellent tool to build greater foot and toe awareness, particularly the big toe extension step-through exercise. The mini toe-bands are a hit too! Working with our elderly patients with compromised balance, it's important to build a robust brain-foot connection; the SoulMate will help us to achieve this in new and unique ways.

Never new balancing could be so fun!

My favourite tool is the solemate cork balance beams. So many ways to use them and levels of difficulty to master! These are crazily addictive and good fun.

Thank yo for sharing, Katrine! We're happy to know you're loving the Solemate. Finding new challenges as your progress is such a fun part of the training, and it's great to hear you're enjoying the journey.

We're so glad to have you as part of TFC Community.

Worth the money

The kit is a great visual prompt and tool for movement. Nicely made, good looking and gets us all moving.

Hi Hannah, thanks so much for sharing this! We’re delighted the TFC SoleMate is helping everyone get moving, and that you’re enjoying its thoughtful design and quality. We really appreciate your support!

Die Qualität ist wirklich sehr gut und das Übungsprogramm ist mit der App wirklich leicht umzusetzen.

Incredibly well designed product

Good quality, simple yet functional and backed up with excellent online tutorials.

London TFC workshop and soulmate

I attended the London workshop thinking that it really wouldn't add any value as I'd watched maybe a hundred YouTube videos on the topic!

But it was very helpful and I ordered the soulmate immediately and from the UK took it with me on my travels across Serbia. It is a little heavy but I still use it every day. Sometimes just watching TV for 10-15 minutes and wobbling around on it.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Anjum!

After watching so many videos, we can understand why you wondered what the London workshop might add, so it’s lovely to hear you found it helpful.

We love that your SoleMate made the journey with you to Serbia and has become part of your daily routine - even while watching TV! It’s great that you’ve found a way to fit foot training into your travels. We also appreciate you mentioning the weight; that’s helpful feedback for our team.

Thanks for joining us at the workshop and being part of TFC. If you ever have questions about your training, we’re here to help!

The Sole Mate is a Great Mate!

I have been in Barefoot shoes for four months and started out with some of the TFC exercises and a rolled up towel. Then I committed to buying the Sole Mate, and have been going through the exercises for three weeks now. They are really well paced and easy to follow and complete. I am noticing my balance improving and other parts in my body, upstream from my feet, getting stronger. All this enables me to go for longer and more regular walks around the local park, and I have also felt better about going to the gym. I am 59 years old and it feels great knowing that I am reversing issues before my 60th birthday!
Cheers
Tanja

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Tanja! It’s wonderful to hear that you started with a rolled-up towel and have been building on your routine with the SoleMate. We’re glad the exercises have felt well paced and easy to follow.

Pairing barefoot shoes with foot training can be a great way to build a foundation for exploring movement. It’s lovely to hear that you’ve been noticing changes in your balance and strength, and enjoying more regular walks around your local park. You’ve put time and effort into your training, and we’re grateful our tools and guidance could support you along the way.

Thanks for being part of TFC! If you have any questions as you continue exploring the exercises, we’re here to help.
