The customizable insole for foot support (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the integrated endoskeleton structure (114) spans across the top layer (102), the middle layer (104), and the bottom layer (112), providing structural resilience, uniform pressure distribution, and long-term conformance.

10. The customizable insole for foot support (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insulating layer above the top layer (102) is removable after curing and is configured to accommodate variations in therapeutic and structuralapplications11. A method for customizing an insole for foot support, comprising the steps of: i. placing a flat, uncured insole between the plantar surface of a foot and a light source, the insole including a top layer (102), a bottom layer (112), and a middle layer (104) consisting light curable material(104); ii. positioning the foot on the insole and applying pressure to the top layer (102), such that the top layer (102) stretches and the insole molds to the contours of the foot;iii. activating a light source to direct UV or visible light at the insole, wherein the light exposure cures the resin in the middle layer (104), thereby hardening the light curable material that maintains the shape of the foot; andiv. allowing the cured insole to retain the shape of the foot, providing a custom fit that offers support and cushioning.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the light source emits light having a wavelength in the range of 365 nm to 470 nm.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the insole including an insulating layer (4) disposed on the top layer (102), wherein the insulating layer (110) provides cushioning, absorbs sweat, and prevents heat transfer during the curing process.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the middle layer (104) comprises a resin- infused compliant material that undergoes polymerization and hardening upon exposure to light.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of maintaining the foot in position on the insole during the curing process, such that the cured insole matches the plantar surface contours of the foot.
