Supports or Insoles?
If you experience foot pain or fatigue it might be an
indication that you need more support from your footwear,
but don't forget about your ankle, knees, and back pain too.
Our feet carry the entire weight of our bodies day in and day
out. It is easy to understand how these 26 small bones won't
always stay in alignment as they absorb the impact of your
body during daily and athletic activities. When the bones in
your feet fall out of alignment your ankles, knees, hips, and
back can all suffer from what seems to be that temporary
pain during standing, walking, or running. Spenco Arch
Supports may be just what you need to keep your foot arch
supported and in alignment, helping to position your feet to
carry the load.
High or low arches don't mean that your foot is not aligned;
rather it is how the foot functions during its natural stride in
motion, a.k.a. its running gait, which determines the support
you'll need.
Traditionally, insoles or orthotics were hard plastic inserts
placed in the shoe to cup the heel and support the arch but
because they were not flexible they did not relieve the
pressure causing pain. NOW, Spenco insoles work to provide
stability and cushion, promoting correct foot alignment,
pressure relief, and flexibility.
Orthotics can help with foot problems more than the average
insole because orthotic supports exert gentle consistent
pressure to bring your foot muscles and joints back into
proper alignment, relieving the pressure your feet, ankles,
knees, and back have been implementing in reaction to your
misalignment.
