This innovative orthopaedic insole addresses the common issue of poorly fitting insoles that fail to cater to individual foot defects and misalignments. Traditional insoles often rely on generic designs, limiting their effectiveness in providing proper support and comfort. Conventional insoles are not tailored to individual foot shapes, leaving many people with unresolved pain or ineffective correction of conditions like flat feet, claw toes, or heel spurs. The need for a personalized solution that adapts to specific foot structures has been unmet—until now.
Core Features
1. Custom Fit: Using a foam impression of the user’s foot, the insole is precisely molded to correct specific defects and provide support where it is most needed.
2. Innovative Materials:
- Harder plastic in the heel and midfoot for stability.
- Softer plastic in the forefoot for flexibility and natural motion.
3. Advanced Elevation Design:
- Raised metatarsal support improves toe grip and blood circulation.
- Continuous transition to the sagittal elevation aligns the foot and reduces strain.
4. Optional Cushioning Layer: An additional soft layer for conditions like diabetes or rheumatism enhances comfort and prevents pressure sores.
5. Stiffening Plate Options: Carbon stiffening plates add support without bulk, ideal for users with severe foot issues.
