Many people experience tired and painful foot after long walks,
exercises, or other vigorous activities. Insoles are the best solution
to minimize the stress, and offer relief from pains and aches. Inserting
insoles into your shoes offers excellent support system, and takes up
all the pain caused due to physical activities like running, jogging,
walking etc.
If you are looking for these foot care insoles, you
will find a myriad of choices in the market. Insoles must be chosen
according to the feet type and health condition if any. There are sports
insoles that are dedicated for heavy athletic activities. These are
shock absorbing insoles. The sports insoles, help in the treatment of
shin splints, jumpers knee, runner's knee, and also other bone stress
reactions. Insoles are also used normally for day today use, to relieve
from or prevent foot acnes and tiredness and sores.
The benefits
of insoles are basically support and cushioning. Cushioning is the most
primary benefit of every insole. Cushioning helps absorb the shock while
walking or running, thereby reducing the pressure on the foot. Thus it
helps comforting the feet from tired and sore feeling, despite of long
periods of exertion. Supportive insoles help to improve the balance of
the foot, and its alignment. While some insoles offer more cushioning
effect, people with foot problems use the orthotic insoles with
customized design to help themselves from pains and other anatomical and
medical issues.
Different types of foot demand support at
different areas. People with low foot arches or flat foot experience
stress and pain due to over pronation. For such foots, an extra
cushioning insole helps the arch to relax and support the curve. Those
with high arches or curved arches have problems due to over flexing of
their foot leading to stress, which is often the causative factor for
painful inflammatory condition like plantar fasciitis. High arched foot
requires corrective supports for even distribution of the weight and
pressure.
Insoles are also useful to control odor of the foot.
There are sweat absorbent insoles that helps smelly feet by keeping the
foot moisture free and cool. Today we have insoles designed specially
for those with varicose veins, edema and arthritis.
Though picking
the right insole for your feet should be solely based on your comfort
and durability, if you have a postural or balance problem or experience
any stress, it is always better to consult a podiatrist to buy the right
orthotic insole for maximum benefit.
