Not all shoes are supportive. We live in a lifestyle where we have an endless array of shoe choices. We have the biggest range of colours and styles to choose from and although it is trendy to wear your active wear while you are not exercising, it doesn’t always mean you are wearing the most supportive sneakers either.
Often the free-running style of sneakers can encourage too much flexibility through the arch and cause mayhem with foot function, including plantar fasciitis and heel pain. Insoles can support your arch, reduce flexibility in the shoe and improve stability which is vital. Insoles can also be worn in unsupportive shoes to increase support including canvas style shoes, dress shoes and certain types of sandals.
Also… wearing insoles reduces some wear and tear experienced by shoes, resulting in longer lasting shoes, so less money is spent buying new ones!
