Abstract: Shoe insert devices that absorb shock and that redistribute forces within a user's foot and/or knee during use are disclosed. The shoe insert devices comprise a hindfoot insert portion configured to be positioned within a shoe and extend beneath a hindfoot portion of a sole of a foot of the user with a top side of the hindfoot insert portion facing the sole. The hindfoot insert portion is resilient at least in a thickness direction extending between the top and bottom sides thereof. The hindfoot insert portion comprises a fascia projection extending upwardly from the top surface positioned medially between medial and lateral sides of the hindfoot insert portion and being spaced distally from the proximal end, and a lateral projection extending at least one of upwardly from the top surface and downwardly from the bottom surface positioned proximate to the lateral side and distal to the fascia projection.
