Spanish term or phrase: horma formativa
Hi there,

I am translating the website of a footwear manufacturer and there is a section with the different kinds of shoes and parts they manufacture.
How would you translate "horma formativa"?

The context is this:
"Hormas Formativas:
Las hormas utilizadas están diseñadas teniendo en cuenta las distintas etapas del crecimiento del pie de los niños, para evitar que sufran molestias y rozaduras."

Thanks for your help!
