What are the benefits of arch support insoles?

Arch support insoles can provide a number of benefits for individuals with foot pain or discomfort. These may include improved balance and stability, which can help reduce the risk of falls or injuries, along with improved alignment of the foot and ankle, which can help reduce strain on the feet, ankles and lower legs. Arch support insoles can also help relieve pressure on the heels, the ball of the foot and other areas of the foot that may be prone to pain or discomfort, while their shock absorption qualities may help reduce the impact on the joints when walking or standing.

Do arch orthotic insoles work?

Arch orthotic insoles can be effective in providing support and relief for individuals with foot pain or discomfort. However, it's important to note that they may not work for everyone, and they may not be a suitable treatment option for all types of foot conditions. However, there are many conditions which can certainly be relieved with orthotics. For instance, orthotic insoles are one of the most widely prescribed therapies for plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, flat feet and many more.

How do you know if you need arch support insoles?

There are a few signs that you may need arch support insoles.

Can too much arch support hurt your feet?

It is possible for too much arch support to hurt your feet.

Too much arch support can cause discomfort or pain, particularly if the support is not properly aligned with the natural contours of your foot.

What are the best arch support insoles for general foot pain?

For general foot pain, a good arch support insole should be able to provide cushioning and support to help reduce pressure on the heels, the ball of the foot or other areas of the foot that may be prone to discomfort. Look for insoles with a contoured arch support and a shock-absorbing heel cup, such as our FootActive Medical Insoles to help reduce impact on the joints.

What are the best arch support insoles for plantar fasciitis?

For plantar fasciitis, a good arch support insole, such as our plantar fasciitis insoles should be able to provide targeted support to the arch of the foot to help reduce strain on the plantar fascia, which is a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. Look for insoles with a firm, contoured arch support and a deep heel cup to help stabilise the foot and reduce pressure on the plantar fascia.

We recommend our FootActive Sports Insoles for most physical activities.

Additionally, look for insoles made from materials that are comfortable and breathable, such as memory foam or gel, to help keep your feet cool and dry.

What are the best arch support insoles for children?

For children, it's important to choose an arch support insole that is properly fitted to their feet and provides the right level of support for their specific needs. Children's feet are still developing, so it's important to find an insole that will support their growing feet and not cause any discomfort or pain.

What are the comfiest shoe insoles?

The comfiest shoe insoles are those which are properly fitted to your feet and provide the right level of cushioning and support for your specific needs.

This means wearing the insoles in shoes that fit correctly and have enough room for the insoles. Wearing arch support insoles in shoes that are too small or tight can cause discomfort or pain, as can wearing insoles that are too big for your shoes.
