How do I choose a shoe insert?

Insoles should be firm enough so that when you press down on the arch, it doesn’t collapse. If there’s too much give, the insert won’t give you the support you need. Insoles work best when they match the contours of your feet. Insoles that are too high can hurt.

Do gel insoles work?

Gel insoles are a good alternative to rigid insoles that are uncomfortable to wear. However, these insoles do not offer much arch support which makes them unsuitable for treating collapsed arches. Some of it has to do with the flat design of the insole which is not able to lift the arch up to its desired level.

What causes overpronation of the foot?
