7 myths about orthopedic insoles

7 mīti par ortopēdiskajām zolītēm

Myth 1: Softer Insole = Better Insole

Reality: Softer insoles do not solve the problem of misaligned feet. Effective insoles are those that combine supportive, hard structures and softer structures to correct the position of the feet.

Myth 2: Insoles Immediately Provide Total Comfort

Reality: Similar to braces, insoles require an adjustment period to adjust to your feet. By gradually increasing the amount of time you wear it, your body can adjust.

Myth 3: Only People With Foot Pain Need Insoles

Reality: Insoles help improve your entire body's posture, potentially reducing knee, hip, and lower back pain.

Myth 4: Insoles Hold Your Feet Statically

Reality: Effective insoles support the natural movement of the foot rather than simply fixing the arches of the foot. Insoles should promote proper foot movement with the necessary flexibility.

Myth 5: Insoles Are Only for Sports Shoes

Reality: While many insoles are designed for athletic shoes, some are also suitable for ball shoes and even high heels. Note that regularly wearing high heels is medically not recommended.

Myth 6: One Pair of Insoles is Enough

Reality: In order to effectively achieve the desired results, it is recommended to put insoles in all shoes that are used on a daily basis. This can ensure consistent insole wear and more effective problem solving.

Myth 7: Only Custom Insoles Always Fit Medical Problems

Reality: Custom insoles are expensive and not always the best option. In most cases, store-bought insoles can be just as effective.
