MEDIAID Showcases Functional Insoles at the Green Cross Exhibition 2026

From September 16 to 18, 2026, the Green Cross Exhibition will take place at the Community Dome in Sapporo, Japan. This event is a premier fair focused on creating a safer working environment, and MEDIAID will proudly present its latest innovation in functional insoles designed for safety shoes. The event is organized by the Japan Central Labor Accident Prevention Association, and it will feature a range of exhibitions and seminars aimed at enhancing occupational health and safety.

Highlights of MEDIAID's Exhibit

At the MEDIAID booth (D-51), attendees will discover the "MEDIAID Assist Insoles Arch & Grip," which are tailored to improve stability and relieve pressure on the feet. In addition, visitors can experience a unique opportunity to measure their foot shape using a state-of-the-art 3D scanner from MEDIAID's sports brand, ZAMST. This initiative aims to educate visitors about the significant role insoles play in enhancing workplace safety and comfort.

Importance of the Green Cross Exhibition

The Green Cross Exhibition is Japan’s largest event dedicated to workplace safety and health, showcasing the latest technologies and information to prevent work-related accidents. With changes to labor safety regulations set to take effect in April 2026—mandating preventive measures for older workers—it has never been more critical to address workplace safety, especially in preventing falls, which remains a leading cause of accidents.

MEDIAID’s Commitment to Workplace Safety

Since 2010, MEDIAID has been at the forefront of developing functional insoles within the sports market, and in 2025, introduced insoles suitable for safety shoes under the MEDIAID brand. Within the first month of launching, 3,000 pairs were sold, showing an increasing demand for solutions that ensure stability and minimize strain in work environments. Recognizing this need, MEDIAID aims to support employees by providing products that enhance comfort and safety in their daily tasks.

Key Features of the MEDIAID Assist Insoles Arch & Grip

• - Optimal Support: Designed to enhance the natural functions of the foot arch, thereby reducing fatigue and discomfort.
• - Comfortable Fit: Incorporates a "Flexible Holder" that adapts to the movements of the foot, ensuring a snug and comfortable experience.
• - Anti-Slip Surface: Made with a slip-resistant material that also features antibacterial and deodorizing properties, improving the integration with safety shoes.

Addressing Concerns in the Workforce

Surveys conducted by MEDIAID revealed that over half of employees wearing safety footwear reported discomfort and concerns regarding their issued shoes. The Assist Insoles were developed to alleviate these issues and enhance the overall safety and comfort of workers across different industries, particularly in manufacturing and logistics, where safety shoes are often mandatory.

Founded in 2021, MEDIAID's Workers Care project merges years of expertise in healthcare with a commitment to supporting employees' physical activities. The initiative encompasses a range of products including joint supports, assistive suits, and heat management items, aimed at resolving health concerns and boosting employee satisfaction.
