Abstract: An insole for insertion in footwear having a laminated structure. The upper layer of the laminated structure is a split suede leather and the lower layer or laminate is resilient having an outer surface with frictional characteristics to prevent slipping relative to the footwear. Resilient padding is interposed between the layers in the metatarsal area and extending rearwardly at least to an area corresponding to the area of the long medial arch.
