Abstract: An insole of an embodiment of the disclosed technology is formed by way of taking an insole of an existing shoe (or footwear), tracing the existing insole on to a flat sheet of material, and cutting out a new insole in the same shape (side edge dimensions) as the original or substantially there-so. The material is resilient but can be made malleable at a higher temperature using such materials known in the art. It is raised to a higher temperature, then placed into the existing shoe on top of or in place of the existing insole. A person then wears the shoe with the new (hot) insole causing the insole to compress. Upon cooling and while still wearing same, the insole retains a new compressed shape formed to bottom contours of the foot of the wearer.

Abstract: A shoe insert assembly includes a panel that is selectively positioned in a shoe. The panel has an opening therein and the opening is aligned with a heel when the shoe is worn thereby facilitating pressure to be relieved from the heel. A cushion is positioned within the panel and the cushion absorbs pressure exerted by a foot onto the shoe thereby enhancing comfort of the shoe. A pad is coupled to the panel and the pad is aligned with an arch in the foot when the shoe is worn thereby enhancing comfort of the shoe.

Abstract: An insole is provided that is constructed out of a mesh material that is stretched and suspended over a cavity formed in a shoe. The mesh surrounds a foam base and a rigid frame positioned under the foam base. The foam base is shaped so that a cavity is formed between the top surface of the foam base and the mesh positioned over the foam base to provide a “trampoline” effect for a wearer's foot.

Abstract: A removable and adjustable insert for footwear has slots placed in the insole and/or midsole of the shoe to allow access to the arch and/or metatarsal and/or heel regions of the insole and/or midsole. In an embodiment, an insert placed into the arch insert slot that establishes how much the arch protrudes above the remainder of the top surface of the insole. One or more inserts are provided having different thicknesses so that the height of the arch can be varied by the user or at the direction of a third party, such as a doctor or a trainer.

Abstract: A removable insert for footwear has a slot placed in its medial edge which extends below the arch. An insert placed into the slot has a height which establishes how much the arch protrudes above the remainder of the top surface of the insole. Multiple inserts are provided having different thicknesses so that the height of the arch can be varied.

Abstract: A universal adjustable insole with an arch support said insole and arch support is positioned under a foot and is sized and shaped to be removable placed within a foot support enclosure worn by a user. The insole comprises a top layer, a lower layer, a pocket between top and bottom layers corresponding to the arch-of-the-foot portion of the top pad layer for the arch support and one or several inserts free disposed inside said pocket.

Abstract: Foot support for insertion into a shoe, which readily adjusts to the form of a foot without the need for qualified fitting and which can be adjusted by the person using the support. The foot support includes a flexible top layer, a base layer, and a sidewall connected to edge regions of said top and base layers. Said foot support further includes a cavity defined between said top and base layers, which extend about a forward pocket of said support and which contains a flowable gel, the flowable gel facilitating the adaption of the flexible top layer to the sole of a foot for support thereof. The forward pocket is located in the region to support the transverse arch of a foot and is able to receive a support medium to facilitate adjustable support of the transverse arch.

Abstract: Described is an insole made of elastic material with recesses designed to accommodate replaceable elastic inserts. At least in the zone in which the inserts are located, the insole has, on the same side as the recesses, a first layer of Velcro.TM. fabric with apertures which fit over the recesses, the first layer acting as a supporting layer for another second layer of Velcro.TM. fabric which covers it completely, including the inserts.
