Problems solved by technology

This can be disadvantageous, for example, when used with shoes that have a built-in arch section, as the thick, bulky arch section introduces excess volume under the foot, which can lead to foot discomfort

Embodiment Construction

[0028] This document describes an insole for insertion into footwear. According to some embodiments, the insole is configured to provide cushioning and support tailored to a wearer experiencing plantar fasciitis pain. The insole is configured with a base cushioning layer and an arch shell of relatively rigid material along the midfoot region (the region extending under the wearer's arch). The inventors of the present invention have surprisingly discovered that, according to the features described below, a thin arch shell provides sufficient support to relieve pain associated with plantar fasciitis without the stiffness that can increase plantar fasciitis pain .

[0029] Plantar fasciitis can be associated with a weakening of the arch of the foot, so an insole with good arch support is desirable for patients with plantar fasciitis pain. However, insoles with good arch support are often bulky and difficult to fit in shoes, especially shoes that already have arch support. Conv...

Abstract

An insole for insertion into footwear includes a base layer extending through a forefoot portion, a midfoot portion, and a heel portion of the insole, and an arch shell in the midfoot portion of the insole beneath the base layer, wherein the arch shell has a thickness of no more than 2 mm.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to insoles for footwear and, more particularly, to insoles for pain relief. Background technique [0002] Plantar fasciitis is a common condition associated with overuse and deterioration of the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a thick layer of tissue that runs along most of the underside of the human foot, connecting the heel to the metatarsal bones. The plantar fascia and underlying hallux longus tendon support the arch of the foot, supporting the big toe, which in turn makes walking and running possible. When the plantar fascia is strained, the arch of the foot weakens, flattens, and becomes swollen and inflamed. This condition causes excruciating pain by displacing and damaging the soft fat pad under the heel, which may limit a person's ability to stand or walk. [0003] Conventionally, contoured insoles have an arch portion that supports the arch of the foot to reduce flattening of the arch as the we...
