What are Orthopedic Insoles used for?

Footcare Insoles are pieces of material placed inside the shoes for added comfort, warmth, and a better fit. They make shoes more comfortable to wear. These insoles serve many other purposes, including daily wear comfort, arch support, foot, and joint pain relief, leg length discrepancy, height enhancement, plantar fasciitis treatment, and treatment of many other orthopedic conditions. Insoles keep the shoes fresh as they can be removed and cleaned. Foot insoles are termed as inserts when you buy them without any prescription in a store. These insoles may be made of materials like gel, plastic, or foam. They provide arch support or extra cushioning on the heel, around the toes, or for your entire foot. They are not custom-made.

Additionally, these are not designed to rectify foot problems or deformities. However, insoles provide cushioning and support to the feet. They are called orthotics when they are custom-made to treat a particular foot problem based on the prescription. They help treat many foot conditions such as diabetic foot, plantar fasciitis, bursitis, and arthritis. Orthotics can even fix flat feet. After proper clinical examination, the podiatrist will determine if you need customized insoles with corrections or not.

At HPFY, there is a huge collection of insoles for everyone, including children. Finely designed insoles improve absorption and dissipation of shock while providing constant cushioning. Ideal for all-day protection to relieve pain and fatigue in the feet, knees, hip, and lower back. You can explore our collection from top brands like Superfeet Worldwide today!

How do Insoles help in Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis may result from excessive stress and aggravation on the connective tissue that stretches from the bone of the heel to the ball of the foot. Custom-made insoles alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by plantar fasciitis by minimizing the plantar fascia's stress and stretching when you stand or walk. The best Plantar Fasciitis insoles provide that extra layer of protection and comfort to your feet. The deep, structured heel cup of insoles cradles the soft tissue of your heel to provide an extra layer of protection from the hard surface.
