Why is it important to use insoles?
People with foot medical problems, whether mild or severe, can prevent their health condition from worsening by using insoles. Problems such as flat feet, bunions, ankle collapse, spurs, pain and discomfort in the heel and/or ball of the foot
Alternatively, diabetics often suffer from wounds, abrasions, and calluses on their feet due to poor blood flow to the area. These wounds have difficulty healing due to poor blood flow, which can lead to serious injuries and even dangerous ulcers that can lead to amputation.
Early use of insoles allows ventilation of the feet, prevents pressure and improves blood circulation to prevent damage.
Those who suffer from foot pain and problems can also suffer from it on a social level. The pain may prevent them from participating in sports activities, going on trips, or just hanging out with friends. Insoles can prevent the pain and easily enable them to live a full and enjoyable lifestyle.
Who are the insoles suitable for?
Insoles are effective for a wide range of medical conditions, as mentioned earlier.
They can be beneficial for people with heel spurs, athletes who train frequently, diabetics, people with foot structural defects, and more.
Insoles are also recommended for those who want to maintain health and prevent cartilage erosion in the future.
Our bodies wear out over time, including our feet.
Using appropriate insoles can reduce future damage that occurs naturally with age.
To ensure maximum effectiveness, it is important to individually adjust the insole to the shape of each person's foot.
How do you know if you need insoles?
There are several ways to know if you need custom-made insoles:
Foot or back problems - If you have pain or discomfort in your feet, a hernia, or back problems as a result of wearing shoes, it's a sign that you should consider insoles. Insoles can provide support and relieve pain.
Uncomfortable shoes - If the shoes are new and hard, or simply uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time, insoles can help them fit better to the foot.
- Uneven wear on shoes - If one shoe in a pair starts to wear out more than the other, it's a sign that your tread is not symmetrical. Insoles can compensate for this.
- Need for special support - Insoles can provide additional arch support or support for flat feet.
- Recommendation from an orthopedist or podiatrist - If an expert has recommended special insoles, it is worth listening to his advice.
There are medical conditions that require custom insoles, such as diabetes, spurs, or flat feet.
The insole manufacturing process in Pinok
In the first stage, you will come to us for a preliminary consultation. We will hear about your problems and/or pain, review the referral if you received it from your doctor, and determine which type of insole is best for you.
The foot is scanned using a 3D scanner - one of the most advanced and comprehensive in the world - through which we will receive all the information we need to accurately produce the insole. The scan will show us the distribution of pressure points/loads of each foot, and we will also see the overall balance in your body.
Our insoles are made of carbon fiber - durable, lightweight and high-quality. We heat the insole in a special oven, and using a technique unique to us, we "sculpt" the insole that fits exactly to your foot and yours alone - like a fingerprint!
