Profeet

What Profeet does

Profeet (legal name: PROFEET – Plantillas Ortopedicas) is a Chilean private company that designs, manufactures, and sells custom orthopedic insoles alongside clinical biomechanical assessment services. The company operates three owned clinical branches in Santiago (Providencia headquarters), Viña del Mar, and La Serena, where patients are evaluated by medical doctors and kinesiologists before any product is fabricated. Its offering is anchored by the Profeet Protocol, a computerized analysis, design, and manufacturing workflow that combines ProScan footprint scanning, 3D computational insole modeling, and CNC milling fabrication, with a separately available 'classic' line built on a more traditional, fully personalized process.

The product portfolio is organized into two primary insole lines (Computerized and Classic) and four purpose-specific sub-brands — Care Feet (general consumers), Sport Feet (athletes), Senior Feet (elderly users), and Work Feet (occupational users) — plus a Nano Shield Insole accessory built on copper-nanoparticle sanitization. The company also sells diagnostic services, including the Estudio de la Pisada (gait study) and a Cyclist Biomechanical Evaluation. Profeet monetizes primarily through one-time insole sales with volume discounts (CLP 85,000 per single computerized pair, declining to CLP 65,000 per pair at three or more, and CLP 50,000 for the classic line), with a CLP 15,000 design fee embedded in the product price and health-insurance reimbursement documentation provided at delivery.

Go-to-market is sales-led and clinic-led: customers book appointments through a Reservo online scheduler or via WhatsApp, are evaluated in person, and receive custom-milled insoles at the same location. Marketing is built around athlete testimonials (notably Colo-Colo footballer Francisca Mardonez, Team Chile fencer Ignacia Cifuentes, and paralympic table tennis player Gustavo Castro), educational blog content, and an active presence on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The company is founder/physician-led — co-founded by Dr. Josef Solomonoff — with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company.

Core offering

Profeet designs, manufactures and sells custom orthopedic insoles using proprietary ProScan foot scanning, 3D computational modeling and CNC milling. The company operates clinical locations where doctors and kinesiologists perform biomechanical evaluations (gait studies, cyclist biomechanical assessments) before producing personalized computerized insoles across four use-case variants (Care Feet, Sport Feet, Senior Feet, Work Feet), as well as a Classic Insoles line.

Product overview

Profeet offers two main insole lines: Computerized Insoles (Plantillas Computarizadas) and Classic Insoles (Plantillas Clásicas). The Computerized Insoles are manufactured using 3D modeling and CNC milling technology, available in four purpose-specific variants: Care Feet (daily use), Sport Feet (athletic use), Senior Feet (elderly users), and Work Feet (occupational use). The Classic Insoles use a traditional manufacturing process but are fully personalized. The company also provides diagnostic services including gait study (estudio de la pisada) and cyclist biomechanical evaluation, all under the proprietary Profeet Protocol developed by doctors and physiotherapists.

Broad incumbents

• Birkenstock: Birkenstock's signature cork-latex footbeds function as removable insoles and are sold globally alongside its footwear. While not custom, Birkenstock competes in the orthopedic footbed category and represents the consumer benchmark for branded foot-support products that Profeet must differentiate against.
• Powerstep: Powerstep manufactures a broad portfolio of OTC and professional-grade orthotic insoles sold through pharmacies, specialty retail, and podiatry channels. It is a relevant incumbent competitor in the orthopedic insole category where Profeet competes for premium positioning.
• Dr. Scholl's (Bayer): Dr. Scholl's is the dominant OTC insole brand globally, with mass-market custom-fit product lines sold through pharmacies and retail. While a different price tier, it competes for the same end-customer foot-health wallet and benefits from far larger marketing budgets.
• Spenco Medical: Spenco is an established orthopedic insole and footcare brand with product lines spanning sport, medical, and casual use — directly overlapping Profeet's Care/Sport/Senior/Work segmentation. Its broad retail distribution and brand awareness make it a benchmark for category scale.
• Aetrex Worldwide: Aetrex is an established U.S. orthopedic footwear and insole brand offering custom orthotics (including the Albert 3D-printed line) alongside broader comfort footwear. It overlaps directly with Profeet's custom insole offering while operating at much greater scale and brand recognition.

Direct peers

• Superfeet Worldwide: Superfeet is a leading global manufacturer of custom-molded and off-the-shelf insoles sold through specialty retail and direct channels. It is the most direct global comparable to Profeet's custom insole business, with comparable product positioning around biomechanical performance and premium pricing.
• Footbalance (Kintec Group): Footbalance produces custom-molded insoles using in-store foot scanning and rapid heating/molding, sold through a network of specialty retailers. Its in-clinic assessment plus custom fabrication model closely mirrors Profeet's clinical workflow and target customer.

Emerging players

• Upstep: Upstep is an online direct-to-consumer custom insole company that ships globally based on foot impressions or photos. It represents a digitally-native, lower-friction alternative to Profeet's in-clinic model and a potential disruptor if it gains traction in Latin America.
• Stride Custom Insoles (now part of Aetrex): Stride was a 3D-printed custom insole startup that competed in the digitally-enabled custom orthotic space before being acquired by Aetrex. It represents the type of tech-forward emerging player most likely to challenge Profeet's technological positioning if it enters Chile or Latin America.

Regional players

• Bauerfeind: Bauerfeind is a German orthopedic devices company with a strong Latin American commercial presence in braces, supports, and insoles sold through medical channels. It is a relevant regional competitor in the clinical orthopedic insole segment that Profeet operates in.
