Orthopedic insoles for flat feet

Flat feet are a complex condition with varying symptoms, disabilities and deformities. Regular use of orthopedic insoles can eventually resolve flat feet.

If you feel that even walking becomes a torture and your unnatural gait is being noticed by others, you may have flat feet. There are many variants of this ailment. However, there is at least one common feature – a partial or complete collapse (loss of height) of the arch of the foot. Depending on the height of the arch of the foot (down to zero), a distinction is made between first, second and third degree flat feet. The lower the level, the easier the problem is to treat, which is why you should see your GP at the first sign of flat feet. If necessary, he will refer you to a surgeon.

Types of flat feet and their stages. Anatomy.

The mechanism of flatfoot formation is a deformation of the tendon that supports the foot. Initially, this support fails during walking and other physical activities, later it fails completely. This type of condition is called acquired flatfoot because it's the most common form of flatfoot to develop in adulthood. Acquired flatfoot usually progresses (gets worse) if not treated early.

Flexor flatfoot is one of the most common forms of flatfoot in childhood and continues into adulthood. It usually occurs on both feet and increases with age. As the condition worsens, the soft tissues (tendons and ligaments) of the foot can become stretched/torn and become painful and inflamed.
Flexibility refers to the flattened position of the foot when supported and the return to a normal position when unloaded.
The final stage of flatfoot is a rigid condition in which the foot is permanently flat.

Longitudinal flatfoot is a stretching of the foot, while transverse flatfoot is a widening and shortening of the foot. These two types can be combined into a combined flatfoot.
Children can have what is known as a valgus flatfoot, where not only is the foot flattened, but the ankle is deformed as well.

How do I choose?

There are insoles for longitudinal, transverse and combined flat feet. Some are used for treatment, others for prevention. Prophylactic insoles can also be used without a doctor's recommendation. For therapeutic insoles, you should always consult your orthopedist.

What are the risks if I choose therapeutic insoles? At best, you won't get the result you want. In the worst case, you can damage your foot, because the wrong choice, improper or careless use of insoles can lead to the progression of the disease.

In the event of a transverse or longitudinal flatfoot, the following rules apply:

  • Size - for footwear;
  • Material of construction (determines quality, durability, thickness, heat storage capacity)
  • The presence of an insulating, antibacterial, odor-absorbing or other layer;
  • Presence of a cushioning pad.

In the case of heel spurs, wedges should be placed under the heel. Special insoles are required when a varus or valgus deformity of the foot has developed.

Supinator insoles for flat feet

Buy or order?

The only advantage of store-bought insoles - insoles with flat feet - is the price. It's quite affordable. If you buy cheap local, Turkish or Chinese products, they only cost pennies.

However, most orthopedic surgeons believe that orthopedic devices should be customized. Different people have:

  • a different foot shape;
  • another gait that overloads different parts of the foot;
  • varying degrees of flat feet;
  • different symptoms, different levels of physical activity, and different biomechanics of the foot during movement and static loading.

Normally, everyone's feet are more or less the same. For this reason, shoes are not made to measure, but are sold off the shelf. They are only available in different sizes. However, when deformities appear, each foot becomes individual. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find the ideal insoles for him.

For conservative treatment of flat feet, you should see an orthopedist. The doctor uses a special device to measure all the dimensions, angles and pressure on the different parts of the foot while standing and walking. A computer processes all this data. He then models the insole and determines what material it should be made of.

Supinator insoles for flat feet

This not only eliminates most symptoms and compensates for existing complaints. Gradually, the anatomical shape of the foot is also normalized. All changes must be monitored in their dynamics. Visits to the doctor every few months are required for this purpose.

Types of deposits:

carcass plies (carcass plies) (can be used for different types of shoes) . These are universal insoles suitable for all types of foot problems. They are thin and fit in most types of shoes. They can have different upper materials: ecosoft, fleece, leather, wool. All materials are of high quality and well breathable. They allow the correction of any type of foot deformity (valgus and varus).
Frameless insoles or sports insoles (made for specific shoes, usually athletic shoes). They are completely soft and cushion the forefoot and rearfoot. These insoles do not need to be adjusted. Suitable for sports, but also for diabetics with flat feet in the early stages.
WellPodo insoles Insoles (thicker and thinner). They are designed to reduce pressure on specific areas of the foot. They are designed to create a cavity underneath the problem area, reducing pressure on the 'sore' area. Very effective for patients with corns, small cracks and calluses. Suitable for people with diabetes.

Why do you need custom insoles?

flat feet. Prevention and correction of transverse and longitudinal flat feet in children and adults.
Plantar and hallux valgus feet in adults and children. These insoles keep the foot in the right position. This gradually corrects the knee and hip joints.
heel spur. ' Insulates the heel and relieves stress and pain when walking.
calluses Calluses are caused by excessive pressure on certain areas. A custom-made insole puts the foot in the right position and distributes the pressure over the entire foot and not just in individual areas. This significantly reduces the likelihood of corns appearing.
posture correction. Individual insoles bring the foot into the right position, correct different leg lengths and gradually eliminate pelvic obliquity and knee misalignments. This gradually corrects the accompanying spinal deformities.
'Bursitis (bunions of the first toe). The orthoses help reverse the direction of the mechanical forces on the first toe and correct its deviation from the correct position.
Long stress phases at work and sport. They optimize the foot's position in the shoe and reduce stress by maintaining proper foot transition.

They are needed to correct the foot and thus make adjustments, which means they take some getting used to.

From the moment you buy it, 'customization mode' begins within you.

How does this happen? Your feet have to 'accept' the new protrusions and curves on a still unfamiliar surface.

How are Formthotics insoles made?

The Formthotics technique is a fully personalized insoles treatment that first assesses the condition and loading of the foot. First, a technician performs a thorough examination of the patient's foot arches using a special device called a plantoscope.

With the plantoscope, the condition of the musculoskeletal system of the foot is recorded in detail and it is determined whether there are deformities in the arch of the foot, joint anomalies or curvature of the spine. In this way, the orthosis can be selected with the greatest precision.

How are Formtotics orthotics made?

After the examination, the doctor makes the orthoses to give them a comfortable, custom shape and contour. The orthoses are made in about an hour, the patient picks them up and visits the clinic after a month for further adjustments.
