The Importance Of Caring For Your Insoles

By Madge Lindsay


A person might be alerted in several ways that they have feet problems. For example, a person who experiences pain in their feet as well as their hips or legs when standing for a short amount of time, they might have a high arch or be flat footed. Lucky for them that there is a solution in using shoe insoles.



Shoes do come with insoles already in them. However, because all feet are different, some shoes do not fit correctly. The shoe wearer can gain some comfort with a better fit by adding another insert into the shoe. This can also absorb some of the shock that normal walking places upon the foot, which can add a lot of comfort.

There are many different materials used to create insoles. The materials used not only affect cost but also how effective the inserts are. Insoles that are available over the counter are many times made of gel. This gel allows the feet to be cushioned and to absorb the weight of the body. This allows the tendons as well as the bones in the foot and leg to absorb the weight differently and causes less stress and pain.

Gel insoles are readily available to those wishing to purchase them by visiting the local drug store. However, it is important to note that these inserts may not be the best choice for everyone. If a person has persistent pain, a gel insert may only ease the symptoms of the underlying problem for a short amount of time. If this is the case, a visit to a doctor may be required.

When looking for a doctor to help with foot or leg pain, one should seek out a doctor of orthopedics or a podiatrist. These doctors are specially trained to diagnose the underlying foot disorders that can cause severe pain. Once a proper diagnosis has been made, treatment can begin, which might include having a custom made orthotic device created for the patient.

Those suffering from moderate to severe foot pain will find that these customized orthotic devices can be used to target just the right spot. They will also find that these devices, which properly fitted will increase their quality of life.

Basic insoles are inexpensive and increase the comfort of the shoes. Although many people purchase these inserts, others believe that inserts would not be needed if a high quality of shoe were to be purchased instead. While there is some truth to that thought, not all discomfort that is felt while wearing shoes is from the shoes themselves. If there is thought to be a medical problem causing the discomfort while wearing shoes, seeking the help of a doctor is essential.

Most people tend to be active enough that they will spend many hours either walking or standing during their day. It is of utmost importance that they should have quality footwear in order to be as comfortable as possible. If a person should find that they continue to suffer from back, feet or leg pain even while wearing insoles in their shoes, a visit to the doctor should be in order. By taking care of the problem now, pain sufferers will be able to keep future harm to their feet and legs at bay.
