The invention discloses an insole personalized design method for a support pressure reduction function. The method comprises the following steps: designing an insole conforming to human engineering byusing personalized data, scanning the insole of a specific user by using equipment to obtain a scanned insole model, and synchronously prefabricating the insole model by using the scanned insole model as an insole template; and therefore, the insole with the edge contour matched with the shoe is obtained. The arch supporting appearance is designed by means of the scanned insole model and the prefabricated insole model, plantar pressure is redistributed by increasing the contact area of the foot and the insole, and excessive stress of part of areas is reduced. A device is used for collecting plantar dynamic pressure, the shape of the insole matched with plantar pressure distribution is designed by processing and analyzing a plantar dynamic pressure graph, and pressure borne by main stressareas of a forefoot and a heel is reduced in the mode of increasing the foot landing buffer distance. The pressure reduction insole can redistribute plantar pressure, improves wearing comfort, provides proper protection for feet, and reduces foot injury risks.
