Insole
Normally, in our daily life, we often wear sandals or work shoes. We may not notice what types of shoes have insoles.
After reading this article, try to observe your shoes. Do they have insoles? Are there any parts that are worn out from weight bearing?
Insoles are considered a component of shoes to help absorb force and make shoes soft and comfortable to wear.
Insoles are divided into the following types:
1. General insoles are used for general shoes such as sneakers, court shoes or sandals to absorb impact and provide comfortable wear.
2. Insoles to relieve foot problems are medical accessories used to treat and relieve foot problems.
# can be divided into
2.1 Prefabricated insoles are prefabricated insoles that adjust the angle of the heel, midfoot, and toe to the ideal shape of the foot. They often have an arch support, making them suitable for people who do not have many foot problems. They also help reduce impact and heel pain.
2.2 Individual insoles are actually divided into two types: molded and non-molded insoles.
👉👉👉# In the case of foot casting, current, more modern techniques may not require casting with cement. A casting machine can be used, a 3D scanner, to make individual insoles to treat foot pain, adjust the angle of the foot for each individual, including adjusting our walking posture. Making this type of insole requires a specialist doctor to examine and design a personalized insole.
👉👉👉# The insole does not mold to the feet. It will rely on making an insole to adjust the balance of weight. A specialist doctor will have to design which foot problems to solve and how to distribute the weight. An insole must be invented. Use temporarily to reduce those symptoms, such as padding or shock absorption. The appearance of the insole will be different to reduce force and be suitable for the function of the foot.
2.3 Insoles to relieve pain and reduce pressure (Accomodative device or Accomodative insole)
In fact, this type of insole is considered a personal insole. However, this type of insole is often suitable for patients with diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or foot deformities. The insole is soft and expands to fit the size of the foot to reduce pressure. It is usually made of soft foam (EVA) to absorb shock and reduce pressure on the deformed bone, as well as reduce pain.
Today, try to observe your feet and also observe the insoles to see what type they are. If you bought them from a store or the insoles are attached to your shoes, that means they are general insoles that do not have an adjustable angle, or they may be pre-made insoles that can relieve pain.
