    Abstract: A customized insole can be created using an additive manufacturing process. The insole is customized to a user and their needs, including correction of a gait or posture of the user. The user can repeatedly insert and remove the insole from footwear as needed. A user can provide captured image data of their feet and/or gait and a lattice structure of the insole can be generated based thereon. The insole can include one or more functional zones, with each functional zone having different mechanical properties than another. In this manner, the insole can be customized to the user and their requirements or needs.
