Dr Foot's insole is a unique foot support system intended to help relieve over pronation, while preventing foot strain and injury.
A full-length, prescription like arch support prevents and treats over pronation. The result: control for feet rolling inward (over pronation), which can pull the entire lower body out of alignment.
Dr Foot's Sport Insoles provide extra longitudinal support and cushioning for runners, plus lateral support for tennis, football and aerobics. Forefoot extensions prevent movement of the insert, which is important during sporting activities. A special fabric cover reduces slippage and heat, helping keep feet drier.
Differences between Dr Foot Sports Insoles and Dr Foot Work Insoles
Dr Foot Sports Insoles have a firmer arch support than the Dr Foot Work Insoles. Both type of Insoles control over pronation and re-align the feet to treat foot and leg pain. The sports insoles can be used during sporting activities and to treat painful foot and leg conditions. The work insoles provide comfort and relief for people who are on their feet all day, standing and walking on hard surfaces. Both insoles can be worn in normal shoes and sports shoes and they fit best when the insole already present in the shoe is removed and replaced by the Dr Foot Insole.
Cutting Instructions
The insole is retailed in three different sizes and needs to be trimmed using the guidelines provided on the base of the insoles for an exact fit.
*Identify the left and right insoles. Turn the insoles over and place them on a flat surface with toes facing away from you.
*If a manufacturer insole is already in the shoe, remove it. If you desire, you can use this as a template to assist in cutting.
*Using a sharp pair of scissors, carefully trim the base of the insoles along the guidelines one line at a time.
*Place the insole in the shoe and if the insole is not a perfect fit, trim the next guideline until your Dr Foot Insoles fit perfectly.
Traditional Treatment
Insoles have been used for years to help people with foot pain. Traditionally when we think of insoles or orthotics we think of a hard plastic insert that is placed in the shoe. It cups the heel and supports the arch but because it is not flexible and it does not extend the full length of the foot. This tends to make this type of orthotic uncomfortable, and ineffective for many people. It also repositions the arch using "Brute Force" Because it is not flexible it forces the arch into it's correct position but does nothing to relieve the pressure that is forcing the arch to collapse, causing the foot or leg pain in the first place.
This type of hard plastic orthotic can actually cause increased pain in patients, which is the reason why we have recommended the Dr Foot Insoles for the treatment of over pronation and bunions. They provide a flexible yet incredibly supportive and stable treatment.
Testimonial
I have suffering from bunion pain and have been using your Sport Insoles for about 4 months.
As an electricity meter reader and a keen sportsman walking up to 10km a day at times, I find they give more support and good shock absorption than any other insole I have tried.
I gave a friend a pair of insoles to try. He's had a lot of problems with his feet from running and has to wear orthotics. He now tells me that the insoles have great cushioning and his running has improved. He hasn't had any injuries since using the insoles. Thanking you.
