Abstract: An insole for a shoe, which massages the reflex zones of the sole of the foot, has a flat basic sole (1) which matches the contour of the shoe and cushion-shaped elevations (5) associated with the reflex zones to be massaged. The elevations (5) are integrally formed on the basic sole (1) and consist, like the basic sole (1), of elastic foamed material having a Shore A hardness of 30.degree. to 45.degree.. The height of the summit region (7) of an elevation (5) above the upper surface of the basic sole (1) is one to two times the mean thickness of the region of the basic sole (1) adjacent to that elevation (5). This insole is easy to manufacture and has optimal massage properties.

Abstract: A shoe insole has a flat base-sole corresponding to a shoe contour. The shoe insole is made of a single piece of foam with a Shore hardness A of 30 to 45, and includes a plurality of integral cushion-elevations formed thereupon. Each of the cushion elevations includes an elevation section which gradually increases in thickness from a surface of the base-sole to a peak region which forms a thickest portion of each cushion-elevation. Each peak region includes a flat plateau area which forms a rest surface upon which a foot sole can rest. The peak regions project upward from the base-sole by a thickness which is up to twice the mean thickness of an area of the base-sole adjoining the elevation portions.

Abstract: An insole (10) exhibits on its upper side facing the sole of the foot, in the region of the foot's reflex zones, flat, somewhat lenticular softly resilient massaging cushions (3,4,5,6,7,8), made of latex rubber for example, corresponding in contour and extent to the respective reflex zone to be stimulated.
