FootBalance – insoles made-to-measure

Our feet and legs are the first shock absorber of our body – they cushion and absorb the shocks caused by uneven surfaces alternately by body movements, acting as levers while moving the body forward.

Basic types of legs

Legs can be divided into three basic categories, based on the role they fulfill.

Supination (O-shaped curvature)
Crossing turns or rotates the foot outwards so that the outer edge of the foot is burdened with the weight  (body weight). 

 

Neutral position
Foot and ankles are in a straight line. The body weight is evenly distributed between the foot and the heel.

 

Pronation (X-shaped curvature)
In this case during the step, the outer edge of the heel touches the ground first, gradually rolls inward and absorbs the shock. The body weight is transferred to the inside of the foot. The foot pushes away from the base at the end of the step. This is the most common type of foot.

 

Each of your foot can represent a different type. If you have the so called convergence of feet, i.e. one leg can be more convergent than the other. Regardless of the type of your foot, FootBalance custom insoles provide perfect support of your feet arches in a neutral position, promote a balanced toughness and strength in feet/legs and contribute to the proper functionality of the legs.

Something about arches

The longitudinal arch
When we talk about arches, usually we mean longitudinal arch. The arch spans from the heel to the metacarpus, its main function is the distribution of body weight and shock absorption. High, low or collapsed longitudinal arch of the foot disrupts the distribution of body weight along the foot, while absorbing shocks during the step down and at landing.

Lowor collapsed arches are often associated with excessive convergence of legs; on the other hand, high arches are often associated with excessive divergence. Its hould be noted that it is not a 100% rule. You may suffer from excessive convergence in high arch feet, or show excessive convergence in low arches or flat feet.

Transverse arch
Most of us do not have sufficient knowledge about the transverse arch. This type of arch is perpendicular to the longitudinal arch, and is located in the central area of ​​the foot. 

Many problems of the forefoot, such as blisters, hammer thumb, tingling, or pain are associated with high or low arches. Some relief can be achieved by supporting the arches in order to enlarge the space for the nerves and veins in the middle ofthe foot. Customized insoles can be made to measure so as to support the transverse foot arch.
