Features Of Plantar Fasciitis Insoles
The best inserts for plantar fasciitis have these features
Arch Support: Our plantar fasciitis insoles provide Arch support which is important for a plantar fasciitis insole as it reduces foot pain when walking or standing for long periods of time.

Orthotic Design: Our plantar fasciitis inserts feature an orthotic design specifically contoured to align with the natural shape of the foot.
Arch Support: The arch support in our insoles is firm enough to provide adequate support without causing any discomfort.
Breathability: Our insoles are made from breathable materials such as mesh or perforated foam which keeps your feet cool and dry, reducing the risk of infections or odors.
Compatibility: We provide insoles for athletic shoes, casual shoes and even dress shoes so that you feel comfortable in whatever shoes you wear.

Factors To Consider Before Buying Plantar Fasciitis Inserts
Supportive insoles must be custom made according to your feet but if you are purchasing an over-the counter insole, you need to keep the following factors in mind.
Insole Size: The size of an insole is generally denoted as a shoe insole range. For e.g., the pair of insole sizes for men may range between 9-11 so that the user can trim the extra material to suit their footwear.
Insole Placement: If you plan on using a full-length orthotic insert, you must first remove the existing casual shoe insole from your footwear. If you want to wear the insert along with your existing shoe soles, you can opt for a flat-full length shoe insole.
Type Of Foot Arch: There are 3 different types of foot arch's available in the market-High arch, medium or neutral arch and low arch. Always choose the right type of insole according to your arch type. Using the wrong arch will further aggravate the pain.
Type Of Insole Footbed: plantar fasciitis inserts are of 4 types depending on how they are made-rigid, semi-rigid, cushioned and flat cushioned. First, consider the reason why you want to buy the insole. This will give you a fair bit of an idea on which arch support will suit you.
Type Of Insole Material: Orthotic insoles are commonly made from 4 materials-foam, leather, cork and gel. Each material has its own qualities. For e.g., a foam gel is best for pressure relief, cushioning and support. A gel insole provides good shock absorption. Cork is ideal for light cushioning and support and leather provides the right feel, custom fit and cushion.
Shock Absorption: While a firm and structured support keeps the plantar fasciitis in its natural shape, a shock absorbing foam is also important to counteract the hard surfaces that people walk on a daily basis.
Volume: No, it doesn’t refer to the sound that a plantar fasciitis insole makes when users take a step. Instead, it refers to the amount of space that the insole occupies in a shoe. Insoles with a thick foam and high arch are meant for roomier footwear while thin insoles are meant for tight-fitting shoes.
Why Should You Use Plantar Fasciitis Inserts?
1. Provides Support to The Foot Arch: The biggest advantage of using our footwear inserts is that they improve your gait by raising fallen arch's while you walk, preventing them from flattening on the ground.
2. Lowers The Risk of Foot Conditions: Our insoles reduce the chances of developing painful foot conditions like plantar fasciitis and bunions which occur due to improper foot movement patterns.
3. Relieves Foot Pain: Walking on flat arches can put undue stress on the muscles, ligaments and joints of the foot. Eventually they will wear out and cause pain in the heel arch and toes. Besides supporting proper foot movement, our plantar fasciitis inserts equally distribute the pressure in the bottom of the feet.
4. Ensures A Healthy Gait: When you walk with a flat arch, your feet, shin and thigh bones will twist inwards, disrupting the natural alignment of the feet and ankles leading to pain and discomfort. Along with improving your gait, our insoles will ensure proper movement of the lower body.
5. Improves Posture: By ensuring a stable base for your feet, our inserts prevent injuries in the spine and improve overall posture.
6. Improved Athletic Performance: Many athletes wear insoles along with an ankle support and for good reason. Insoles provide additional support and stability to the feet and ankles which lowers the risk of any injuries.
