Function of insole
Jan 08, 2022
If you think the function of insole is just a comfortable cushion, you should adjust your concept of insole. Yes, in the past, the function of insole was just a cushion, but under modern technology, the function of insole has been upgraded to a component of auxiliary shoe function. Modern high-quality insoles can provide the following functions:
1. Prevent the sole from sliding in the shoe
The shoe bed in the shoe is flat, but the soles of your feet are not. Therefore, when walking, the soles of your feet will slide in the shoes. It takes a little more effort to walk every step, and long-distance walking is easier to increase all kinds of trauma. The use of three-dimensional insoles can fill the space between the sole and the shoe bed and reduce the sliding of the sole in the shoe.
2. Improve the support and improve the stability of the pace
The insole with heel support cup can reduce the swing when walking with the ground, so as to reduce fatigue and reduce the chance of trauma.
3. Shock absorption
There are two kinds of shock absorbing insoles. One is to use the hard cup-shaped heel support, because the hypertrophic muscle of human heel is a natural shock absorbing function. As long as it is matched with a hard rubber support with appropriate radian, it can play a good shock absorbing function, which is suitable for some activities with stable and long-lasting steps, such as sword strike, vigorous step, hiking, etc. The other is to aid other soft materials, such as gel and air cushion, to absorb the impact of heel landing, which is suitable for high running and jumping movements such as running and basketball.
4. Correct walking and standing posture
It sounds very magical, but this is the function that orthopedic insoles can play. Due to natural and other factors, many people can't be 100% perpendicular to the spine and leg bones when standing, or swing left and right when walking, which will cause various bone and joint injuries in the long run. With the help of orthopedic insoles, they can correct the posture when walking and standing, so as to reduce the trauma.
