Insoles are one of the unsung heroes of the fashion, footwear, sports, and medical industries. The small shoe inserts are mechanically designed to improve comfort and to target specific foot and podiatric issues. It’s about time we started taking advantage of them. Having been diagnosed with both Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis, I’ve relied on insoles to help me get through a busy day on my feet.
Arch support insoles are relatively cheap, suitable for people of all budgets, but they could turn uncomfortable, unbroken shoes and boots into your favorite footwear. Shoe inserts do more than just rejuvenate your best shoes. They help protect your feet and have so many benefits that help you live a more comfortable life.
Insoles Help You Move
Athletes, runners and those who love sports might already know the benefits of a shoe insole. For those of you that don’t, many athletes choose specially engineered insoles that absorb the shock from impact. This means as you run, jump and move around, the foot is protected and supported.
Those who are familiar will already know that foot issues, such as Plantar fasciitis (pain in the ball of the foot), experience the most acute discomfort after they have been inactive for a long time. For example, when you first stand up out of bed in the morning. If left untreated, this could worsen and limit mobility. Wearing insoles in your everyday and sports footwear can help to reduce and totally prevent this pain. I actually have insoles in my slippers to help with my early morning pain.
The overall benefit is simple, arch supports help you move! They cushion your body from sports injuries such as shin splints, too, so you can enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle that has unlimited advantages.
Travel & Enjoy Long Days Out
Going to explore a new city? Meeting friends in the city for a fantastic day out? Worried about being on your feet all day? Arch support insoles mean you can stay on your feet for longer.
Slipping discreet, thin insoles into your shoes provide the cushion you need to keep on walking. Specialist pairs will also work to stabilize the foot, providing all-round support but also working to realign the foot. Orthotic insoles are a light-weight, technologically advanced design. You can put them in your everyday or work shoes. Over time, they effectively treat so many foot health concerns, reducing pain by conditioning and strengthening the foot, ankle and lower legs. They can correct rolled feet, ankles and so much more. The best bit is that over time, you won’t need to wear insoles every day, you can swap between shoes and manage a long-day out in comfort, too.
Improve Your Posture
Good posture helps to align your bones, joints, and muscles for effective mobility and proper use. Poor posture has more than just an aesthetic impact, the body is built the way it is for a reason and slipping into slouching or favoring one foot over the other can wear away at the joints, causing mobility issues as you age. Interestingly, poor posture can also make you tired! Efficient muscle use means that the body uses energy as it is supposed to!
Orthotic insoles help you to improve your posture, often without even realizing it. So many people become self-conscious about their slouching and slumping, it can make you look frumpy, shy and unhappy. Insoles that target your posture help you live happier, better and healthier, for longer!
Improve The Appearance Of Your Feet
Many people avoid getting their feet out during the summer months, self-conscious about how their feet look. It might be that your little toe curls under the second one, your feet are flattening, or you have gout. Firstly, airing your feet is crucial to avoid fungal infections and bad odors. However, wearing supportive insoles is a prescribed, preventative measure for dealing with so many foot conditions. Improving your foot health can give you more style and comfort options all year round. Take it from one who knows!
