Normal footwear that can be bought in conventional retail stores is usually not suitable for the feet. Additional Shoe insoles support the healthy, ergonomic equipment of the shoes.
What are shoe insoles?
Not all Shoe insoles are considered to be medical or orthopedic components. The shoe insoles are made of very special materials and also differ considerably in their construction from simple, commercially available products. In the case of various orthopedically or dermatologically relevant shoe insoles, the treating specialist decides on the nature and necessity of the products. These shoe insoles are also formulated.
The shoe insoles are not only used by many people for reasons of greater comfort. Shoe insoles are important therapeutic aids that are absolutely necessary in the case of existing deformities in order to alleviate the symptoms.
Shapes, types & types
Orthopedic and therefore medical Shoe insoles are produced as soft and so-called sensorimotor (propioceptive) variants. For the treatment of a buckled foot, the orthopedic specialists prescribe the special insoles, which are available as custom-made insoles for children and adults.
In addition to the plastic versions, the orthopedic mechanics also offer versions made of plastic and natural materials. These shoe insoles can not only correct misalignments of the ankles or uneven growth in length of the legs. The health insoles can help prevent or alleviate skin diseases of the feet.
Orthopedic shoe insoles for correction are not only offered as individual custom-made products, but in many cases can also be offered as prefabricated models. There are also differences in quality between the usual insoles and the sports insoles as well as the special medical correction soles.
Structure, function & mode of operation
The majority of the medical Shoe insoles is based on a modular design that is based on a building block system. Only in this way can the foot experience relief from the underside and from the side of the body weight. Depending on the type of shoe insole, there are deviations between sensorimotor and diabetes-oriented insoles and sports insoles. Further production-specific differences result from the long or three-quarters length cut sole dimensions.
The structure of several functional layers is typical of the shoe insoles. These include an upper material that is in direct contact with the foot, the so-called middle weight layer and a lining. The lining gives the insole its stable shape and a certain compressive flexibility. A statically wearable metal in combination with an elastic, breathable material is used for the intermediate weight layer. Good skin compatibility, a perfect fit, good support and air circulation in the individual sole layers are very central features of use.
If the individual layers of the shoe insert are cut transversely, thin layers of varying materials emerge. The design of the shoe insoles, which is based on the anatomical shape of the foot, ensures a certain level of comfort.
A supportive effect is achieved through the equipment of the shoe insoles and the targeted selection of materials. This can prevent the progression of misalignments and reduce the discomfort that young and adult patients experience when walking. For this reason, the sensible shoe insoles can be used therapeutically for little girls and boys.
Medical & health benefits
Medical Shoe insoles have gained increasing importance over time and are used therapeutically in younger and younger patients.
If painful impairments occur to the joints or the supporting apparatus of the feet when walking, orthopedic shoe insoles are cheap. Currently diagnosed malpositions on the lower extremities are compensated with the shoe insoles. This not only promotes temporary freedom from symptoms, but can also counteract further deterioration. This goal can only be achieved successfully if the feet are additionally activated.
Shoe insoles are also appropriate when people are struggling with a metabolic disorder such as diabetes mellitus. Pressure points on the feet due to footwear that are not suitable for the feet are particularly risky for this group of people if neuropathy is also present.
Medical shoe insoles are ideal from an orthopedic point of view if there are complaints due to a heel spur, a flat foot, flat feet or other deformities. With these shoe insoles, a pressure distribution can be achieved, whereby an even load on the foot can be implemented. These complex insoles support better posture and joint health.
