At the same time as shoes, the insole for shoes was also invented. But instead of the usual layer for us, ordinary hay and straw were used. And to improve this detail began only in the XX century. And initially, for convenience, different models of insoles for the right and left legs were developed.
Why are insoles needed?
Doctors recommend that you carefully approach the choice of insoles (or orthoses) in the winter season for several reasons:
- In shoes with fur (especially artificial), the feet often sweat, and this can lead to the development of foot fungus.
- If it is correctly selected, the insole for shoes is able to protect the feet from getting wet in rainy weather.
- Modern developments of models of insoles allow you to choose a suitable specimen that will help get rid of problems with your legs (orthopedic or hygienic insoles).
The right choice of insoles
Winter shoes already have orthoses. Probably, after some time after the purchase, you will begin to feel discomfort. And if you initially choose the right insoles, even the worst pair of shoes can become comfortable. The insole for shoes can be anything:
- The most convenient orthoses are felt, they absorb moisture perfectly, are dense in structure, do not crumple during walking. But when severe frosts strike, a layer of felt will not save your feet from freezing, and instead of natural material you may have a fake - a synthetic insole.
- Fur insoles will protect perfectly from the cold, but they should be solid, not sewn from pieces, and along the edges they should be sewn to a special cardboard that does not soak from moisture. The woolen insole should be composed of natural materials, such as linen fibers.
- Sandwich insoles are best purchased in specialized stores. The upper layer of such insoles consists of a polymer that provides thermal insulation and has excellent cushioning properties. The lowest layer is a balsa wood coating . This model is perfect for those who are very cold in winter.
- Insoles on metal foil have a top layer of natural wool, the middle is polymer, and the layer of foil prevents the penetration of cold and moisture to the foot.
- Deodorant insoles are a true discovery in the field of shoe accessories. Thanks to the cotton layer with activated carbon, this shoe insole is perfect for those who suffer from excessive sweating.
- Orthopedic insoles - a modern tool for maintaining the health of your legs. The special design supports the arches of the foot and returns resistance to daily stress. Those who can’t refuse model shoes have a great opportunity to continue not to limit their preferences without harm to health - just order insoles for shoes with heels. Specialists will develop a model according to the shape of your foot, and then your risk of deforming the foot will disappear .
- Gel models - insoles for open shoes. Thanks to these special pads, even the most uncomfortable sandals will become much more comfortable.
