Walking shoes and running shoes do not normally include arch supports or orthotic insoles. Some shoes do provide more cushioning than others. Insoles (such as those made by Spenco) and gel inserts do not make shoes last longer. The midsole of the shoe generally breaks down first, after about 500 miles. This is where you can lose support, especially if you have flat feet. A good pair of properly fitting gel or custom insoles can give you the arch support that you need.

Insoles are a good way to find relief from arch strain and pain, heel and ball of foot pain (metatarsalgia), weak ankles, crooked toes and corns, calluses, knee, back and neck pain, overpronation, shin splints and plantar fasciitis. There are various types of insoles that you could use. Some are available over the counter while others must be special ordered and custom fitted by your podiatrist.

A podiatrist (foot doctor) or other specialist might use some type of taping, padding, and other simple technique in order to correct the problems that you have with your feet. Before you go out a spend a bunch of money on untested foot care products, it might be a good idea to schedule an appointment with a foot expert to have the pain and problem fully diagnosed, preferably by a podiatrist.

One of the first things that many people try, in order to get foot pain relief, is to use insoles. The over the counter type of insoles are available in many varieties. Insoles that come with athletic shoes do not usually provide enough shock absorbtion or arch support. You can remove the insoles that came with the shoes that you bought and replace then with any of the insoles that you find on this page or through the links that we provide here.

Insoles provide cushioning that comes in the form of foam, gel, or other means. This extra layer of cushioning can provide shock relief in shoes that don't have much cushioning to begin with. This extra cushioning is especially needed for older people and those who have sore feet. As we age, the fat pad at the bottom of our foot tends to thin out.

Certain types of insoles are made to mold themselves to your foot when you wear them. These are called orthotics. These are different than custom orthotics. Custom orthotics are created especially for an individual in order to correct his or her foot and walking problems.

Ready-made orthotic insoles are generally much cheaper than custom orthotics. However, they most likely will not give the same amount of relief. Ready-made orthotics go generally provide some degree of arch support, gait correction and cushioning.

Most people who do a great deal of walking will gain a higher level of comfort with a shock absorbing insole. This is especially true for shoes or boots that don't have very much cushioning. If your feet are always tired and sore after walking or doing aerobic exercises then adding an insole might just give you the relief that you need.
