  • Publication number: 20140013618
    Abstract: An insole combined with a band/strap that wraps around the midfoot. The insole provides arch, midfoot and metatarsal support, cushioning and a heel cup. The band/strap supports the arch, talus and midfoot and keeps the plantar fascia stretched. The arch, metatarsal and midfoot support of the insole press up against said areas of foot, opposing their collapse, and work in conjunction with the heel cup to limit over pronation. The band/strap keeps the plantar fascia tissue stretched, which can hinder tearing. The insole can provide soft cushioning which can increase comfort by spreading out the force of foot impact over a more evenly dispersed and greater area.
