Why Insoles?
The right footwear is only half the solution...
Footwear manufacturers design functional shoes to suit a vast array of foot types, yet ensuring the right basic type of shoe is worn is only half the solution. With so many muscles, bones, joints and ligaments making up the foot, plus the different shapes and sizes and different patterns of movement, no standard off-the-shelf shoe can possibly be right for all feet.A custom insole personalises your footwear to match your foot. Standard insoles, in sports footwear, are flat or pre-moulded and offer little or no support, hence the fit is two dimensional. A Profeet insole provides a unique, personalised three dimensional fit.
- Moulded exactly to your foot, your custom insole will cushion impact, stabilise and guide your foot while, evenly distributing pressure.
- Close contact with the foot optimises neuromuscular feedback and proprioception.
- Profeet can create a wide range of insoles from flexible running to rigid skiing. There are different insoles for different sports.
Custom Insoles complete the footwear solution
-
Why Custom Insoles?
- Standard insoles delivered with sports shoes are very basic and made for a minimum price. They are usually made from thermo mouldable foam and do little more than provide a soft surface so that the shoes feel comfortable in store.
- The sole of the foot is the primary method of supporting and propelling the body, ensuring it is correctly supported is critical. A foot with poor support is like a building with poor foundations – the lack of support can lead to problems both in the foot but also higher up the body such as the knee, the hip, the back...
- Specialist insoles and especially Custom insoles also increase the contact between your foot and the insole and therefore more of the all important propriocepters that provide balance related information to the nerves are being used – improving balance and co-ordination.
-
Why Sports Specific Insoles?
- The foot's movement when running is very different to the foot's movement when striking a tennis ball and hence a running shoe differs from a tennis shoe.
- Sport specific insoles use specific shapes and materials to work with the foot during the relevant sport and the sport related movements.
- What ever you sport, Profeet custom insoles are engineered to improve balance and co-ordination, protecting the joints from impact and excessive wear and tear. At the same time they increase comfort and performance of your footwear. Replacing the manufacturers insole gives 360 degrees of fit around the feet inside the footwear.

Not as comfortable as some other insoles that I purchased and I
believe that it is because they are constructed on silicone. I have
more solid insoles (not silicone) that work much better and ease the
pain. Must say that the condtion is much better than it was.

Top 5 Running Injuries
There may be a problem with the biomechanics of the foot, which contributes to the problem. The usual findings are a foot that 'over pronates', where the inner arch of the foot rolls over too much during walking and running. This can lead to tightness in the Achilles tendon and recent research has suggested that a tight Achilles tendon can increase strain on the Plantar fascia.
Insoles that support the arch on the inner side of the foot can be helpful for limiting excessive pronation and relieving stress on the Plantar fascia and Achilles tendon.
The Aircast AirHeel can be very effective in relieving heel pain due to Plantar Fasciitis. By applying compression to the heel and the arch of the foot, the AirHeel relieves strain on the area under the heel that is commonly affected by Plantar Fasciitis. This can give instant relief to those suffering with Plantar Fasciitis.
Plantar Fasciitis
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis refers to inflammation of the Plantar fascia (a fibrous sheath that runs most of the length of the sole of the foot), usually at the point where it attaches to the heel bone. It is a common cause of heel pain in runners. Pain is common over the inside of the heel and usually radiates down the inside of the sole of the foot. The pain usually occurs with activity and is also typically present in the morning when taking the first steps of the day.What can you do to prevent Plantar Fasciitis?
Inadequate footwear is often implicated in Plantar fasciitis. Shoes should provide adequate support for the foot during running. Unsuitable footwear can increase strain of the Plantar fascia and lead to the development of inflammation.There may be a problem with the biomechanics of the foot, which contributes to the problem.

Insoles that support the arch on the inner side of the foot can be helpful for limiting excessive pronation and relieving stress on the Plantar fascia and Achilles tendon.
What should you do if you suffer from Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis settles with conservative treatment in 95% of cases. Conservative treatment, such as physiotherapy, aims to reduce local inflammation and address any biomechanical problems. While the Plantar fascia is still painful it may be treated with ice packs (never apply ice directly to the skin) and anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed by a doctor. Once the pain has subsided, stretching the Plantar fascia (by pulling the toes towards the shin) is effective in encouraging the tissue to regain its normal alignment.The Aircast AirHeel can be very effective in relieving heel pain due to Plantar Fasciitis.

What is the treatment of plantar fasciitis?
Updated March 24, 2013

Treatment
of plantar fasciitis is with short-term rest and controlling the
inflammation. Here are the steps patients should take in order to cure
their plantar fasciitis:
A new treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis is being investigated. This treatment, called extracorporeal shock wave therapy, or ESWT, uses energy pulses to induce microtrauma to the tissue of the plantar fascia. This microtrauma is thought to induce a tissue repair process by the body. ESWT is recommended in patients who have failed the previously mentioned treatments, and are considering surgical options. For more information on shock wave therapy treatment:
After successful treatment, how can I prevent plantar fasciitis from coming back?
To prevent the recurrence of plantar fasciitis after treatment, proper fitting footwear is essential. Many people use shoe inserts to relieve pressure over the tender area. Custom orthotics can also be made if there appears to be a problem with the mechanical structure of the foot. It is also important to continue the stretching and exercises. These simple exercises will help maintain the flexibility of the foot and prevent the plantar fasciitis pain from returning. What if the symptoms of plantar fasciitis do not resolve?
In a small number of cases (usually less than 5%), patients may not experience relief after trying the recommendations listed above. It is important that conservative treatments (such as those listed above) be performed for AT LEAST a year before considering surgery. Time is very important in curing the pain of plantar fasciitis, and insufficient treatment before surgery may subject you to potential complications of the procedure. If these treatments fail, your doctor may consider an operation to loosen the plantar fascia, called a plantar fascia release. For more information about plantar fascia release:
Because the diagnosis of plantar fasciitis can be confused with tarsal tunnel syndrome (as described earlier), most surgeons advocate performing a tarsal tunnel release (or at least a partial tarsal tunnel release) along with the plantar fascia release. This surgery is about 80% successful in relieving pain in the small group of patients who do not improve with conservative treatments.
- Rest
Avoiding the precipitating activity; for example, take a few day off jogging or prolonged standing/walking. Just resting usually helps to eliminate the most severe pain, and will allow the inflammation to begin to cool down. - Apply Ice Packs
Icing will help to diminish some of the symptoms and control the heel pain. Icing is especially helpful after an acute exacerbation of symptoms. - Exercises and Stretches
Exercises and stretches are designed to relax the tissues that surround the heel bone. Some simple exercises, performed in the morning and evening, often help patients feel better quickly. - Anti-Inflammatory Medications
Anti-inflammatory medications help to both control pain and decrease inflammation. Over-the-counter medications are usually sufficient, but prescription options are also available. - Shoe Inserts
Shoe inserts are often the key to successful treatment of plantar fasciitis. The shoe inserts often permit patients to continue their routine activities without pain. - Night Splints
Night splints are worn to keep the heel stretched out when you sleep. By doing so, the arch of the foot does not become contracted at night, and is hopefully not as painful in the morning.

Often patients ask podiatrists which insoles and orthotics are most
effective for plantar fasciitis? This video gives a detailed explanation
and discusses causes and treatment options for plantar fasciitis?
If you see the forces that are put in to the arch and the fascia which supports the arch then you will realise the importance of orthotics. Orthotics are designed to take pressure off the fascia and allow it to heal.
The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fascitis which is commonly referred to as a heel spur. Plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue which runs along the bottom surface of the foot, from the heel to the toes. Plantar fascitis is a condition in which the plantar fascia is inflamed. This condition can be very painful and cause considerable amount of suffering.
Long standing inflammation causes the deposition of calcium at the point where the plantar fascia inserts into the heel. This results in the appearance of a sharp thorn like heel spur on x-ray. The heel spur is a-symtomatic (not painful), the pain arises from the inflammation of the plantar fascia. Symptoms include a dull ache which is felt most of the time with episodes of a sharp pain in the center of the heel or on the inside margin of the heel.
Often the pain is worse on first rising in the morning and after rest and is aggravated by prolonged weight bearing & thin soled shoes.

Arch Supports
Walking regularly on hard and flat surfaces can put strain and pressure
on the arches of our feet, foot arch support products such as insoles
and arch cushions can help to ease pain while working to alleviate any
biomechanical foot complaints.
Arch support insoles provide support and comfort to the arch of the foot. Arch pain is generally caused by the pronation of our feet. Pronation relates to the rolling motion of the foot as we walk or run, if you over-pronate or under-pronate pressure and forces can become unevenly distributed across the foot – causing pains in the arch of the foot.
Insoles and arch support shoes can help to ease pain in the arch of the foot by providing a uniform distribution of body weight to all areas of the supporting foot. A common biomechanical foot complaint that affects the arch is Plantar Fasciitis – the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs from the heel to the toes. Keeping the arch supported and cushioned can help reduce arch pain, while arch support insoles and shoes can also assist with realigning the foot to a natural position – lowering the risk of foot pain, heel pain, back pain, knee pain and fallen arches.
At Simply Feet we offer a range of foot arch support products that help ease arch pain and treat foot health conditions such as fallen arches, Plantar Fasciitis and heel spurs. Arch support insoles are specially designed to control the position of the feet, ensuring a natural position. If you require further support, arch support shoes can provide cushioning and comfort to ease foot pain while realigning the foot.

Insoles and arch support shoes can help to ease pain in the arch of the foot by providing a uniform distribution of body weight to all areas of the supporting foot. A common biomechanical foot complaint that affects the arch is Plantar Fasciitis – the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs from the heel to the toes. Keeping the arch supported and cushioned can help reduce arch pain, while arch support insoles and shoes can also assist with realigning the foot to a natural position – lowering the risk of foot pain, heel pain, back pain, knee pain and fallen arches.
At Simply Feet we offer a range of foot arch support products that help ease arch pain and treat foot health conditions such as fallen arches, Plantar Fasciitis and heel spurs. Arch support insoles are specially designed to control the position of the feet, ensuring a natural position. If you require further support, arch support shoes can provide cushioning and comfort to ease foot pain while realigning the foot.
