This guide is to help you understand foot problems, pain, and what you can do for relief and correction. The over-the-counter insoles also known as ‘inserts’ can benefit you by adding them to your running shoes and all shoes. All foot problems will be focused on different foot issues for your clear understanding, modification, and improvement using shoe inserts.
[h3line h3-text=”1. Foot Orthotics History“]
We don’t often wonder how things came about; we just know they are here. The word orthotics is Greek meaning to straighten or align. It is the mechanical and medical science dealing with the design and fitting for supporting and bracing of weak or ineffective joints or muscles. It is an external device for putting in shoes to adjust the structure and function of the bones and muscles. The doctor for writing prescriptions is an orthotist, however, if you have minimal issues, over-the-counter (OTC) appliances can help you. Online is considered OTC for buying. An orthotist also designs, manufactures, and manages orthoses.
[h3line h3-text=”2. Uses for Orthotic Devices“]
- Control and guide;
- Limit and/or immobilize a limb, foot, ankle, leg, joint, muscles;
- Movement restriction;
- Restriction of movement in specific directions;
- Reduce weight bearing energy and force for specific
- Rehab after removing a cast from fractures and surgery;
- Pain reduction and easier motion; and
- Shape correction and function of the body for pain reduction.
Orthotics is quite the science! —it is a combination of anatomy (structure), physiology (function), and pathophysiology (changes due to disease or syndrome), including biomechanics (body muscles). Always consult your healthcare provider for what’s best for your condition.
Hallux rigidus or Hallux limitus or stiff big toe is degenerative arthritis and stiffness due to bone spurs that affects the MTP (metatarsophalangeal) joints at the base of the hallux (big toe). Consult your foot doctor (podiatrist) for this condition. Hallux rigidus is arthritis of the big toe joint. It is the most common arthritic condition of the foot and second only to hallux valgus (bunion) as a condition associated with the big toe. Females are more commonly affected than males in all age groups, and the condition typically develops in adults between the ages of 30 and 60 years. Inserts/insoles will usually not help this condition. Sometimes splints will help on the advice of 
your doctor. You can do more harm than good to your toe joints when trying to find a fix that probably will not work for these conditions.
Hammer toe is usually at the toe next to the big toe. It is usually a longer toe on the foot. A doctor would need to be seen about it. The toe bends because of weak muscles. The weak muscles make the tendons shorter (tendons connect muscle to bone). The toes will lift higher or curl under the feet. Shoes that are too short and pointed high heels can cause this. It can run in families. Hammertoes can cause other foot problems such as sores, blisters, and calluses. Shoes are hard to fit because the toes no longer lay flat. Some people wear canvas sneakers and cut holes in the toe area so the hammer toe can stick out. Surgery can straighten the toe. Insoles will not provide much, if any, relief if your toes are seriously bent.
[h3line h3-text=”3. Types of Orthotic Insoles“]
- Functional orthotics support unusual biomechanics of the feet. They are usually made of plastic polymer to give support, and put a stop to pronation of the foot that flattens the arch. This decreases shock absorption when your feet hit the ground during running, walking, and jogging. They will support the rear foot joints, midfoot (midtarsal joints), and subtalor joint. This type can be used for foot deformity adjustments and foot stabilization. These orthotics are not discussed here.
- Accommodative orthotics have a support device that is soft for minor foot issues relieving mild foot pain. These are great for kids having biomechanical walking problems. These ‘accommodate’ by assisting using gait plates, splints, night bars to keep the child’s legs and feet in place when they are asleep at the correct angle. They will adjust any toe-in or toe-out walking alignment. These orthotics are not discussed here.
Wearing high heels for years and years will damage your feet and toes in time. Your feet will burn, your toes can turn under, and sometimes you have no feeling in them. Walking becomes an effort and is agony. Why brutalize and mistreat your feet? Because as women, we want to look good! We don’t think about feeling good!
When wearing high heels, 75% of our body weight is on the ball of the foot and it can hurt by day’s end. This can lower the latitudinal arch that eventually causes widened feet. A great option is to use inserts/insoles in your shoes for a measure of comfort.
[h3line h3-text=”4. Three Styles of Orthotics“]
- Customized orthotics are rigid inserts for shoes for those with critical biomechanical conditions. They are custom-made and prescribed by a podiatrist (foot specialist doctor). The doctor will determine what’s right for your condition.
- Heat moldable orthotics are less expensive than custom made orthotics that can cost up to $600+ for each pair. These can be purchased OTC and are flexible medium firm EVA material (ethylene-vinyl acetate) with a soft rubber type feel and cost from $100 to $150.
- OTC orthotic shoe insoles are obtainable from drug stores, at malls, grocery stores, and online. They cost from $15 to $50 a pair and are easy to use made of a soft medium thickness. These are usually made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) and are flexible yet firm without giving you arch pain. This product will mold to the shape of your feet using your body heat and weight. These are good for kids and elders too, because they are not stiff and inflexible on the foot bottoms.
[h3line h3-text=”5. Considerations When Buying a Good Orthotic Insert“]
Be sure you are wearing the shoes you use the most often for proper fit of the insert if shopping in person at a store. Online, you’ll need to take measurements. Some brand names are more reputable than others for people having diabetic foot ulcers, bunions, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, standing all of the time issues, minor sports injuries, and other ailments. The brands that market the best insert for treating your condition are shown below. Not as many products are made for supinators because most people are pronator types. Do you know if you have pronation or supination? Here are 3 pictures for your visual understanding.
[h3line h3-text=”6. Benefits for Orthotic Patients“]
People with the following conditions may benefit from orthotics:
- Cerebral palsy
- Spina bifida
- Spinal cord injuries
- Stroke
- Prophylactic for prevention of disease
- Sports performance
- Diabetics
- Construction and factory workers
- Medical profession standers/walkers
[h3line h3-text=”7. Benefits of Buying and Using Insoles“]
The reasons we use insoles are for pain relief. The benefits from using insoles/inserts are reduction in pain and enhanced movement without pain.
The removable shoe insert (foot orthosis) achieves many goals such as your wearing comfort in your shoes each day, pain relief from arthritis or joint issues, overuse of your feet, injuries, reducing bad feet smell, and better performance for athletes. Orthopedic corrections of illnesses and injuries that affect bones and muscles can also be done.
[h3line h3-text=”8. Insoles for Plantar Fasciitis“]
There is a plethora of inserts available in the marketplace for this condition and all foot conditions. It can a laborious undertaking to find what’s best for you.
Plantar Fasciitis—what is it? It is the most common and most painful heel pain caused by repeated strain on the plantar fascia ligament that connects the heel bone to the toes. This ligament supports the arch of the foot. Standing all day long can bring the pain on and rolling your feet inward when you walk. High or low arches can bring on pain as well. The strained tendon causes foot/ankle weakness, inflammation, and swelling and it starts hurting the minute you get out of bed. There are easy exercises you can do to relieve the pain.
The pain can be in both heels or only one. Shoes that are too tight or too short can cause the pain. To give your feet relief from pain you need to rest your feet doing towel or wide rubber band stretches and calf stretches at least 3 times each day. It does help; I’ve had to do it when I had this pain and it works. Good supportive shoes with excellent arch support and cushioned soles will help. Inserts will help if your shoes do not provide the support you need.
Best insoles can be used in all types of footwear from sandals, boots, loafers, tie-up shoes, athletic, work boots, and running shoes. High-heeled women’s shoes do work with inserts—when your foot is in pain, wear low shoes to heal your problem, including Achilles tendonitis. You can remove the inserts from one pair of shoes to another.
The deeper heel cup will give you even more comfort and adds more shock support for the foot stress you have. Plantar fasciitis affects the ankles and the knees. The cost for the inserts are less than buying a new pair of shoes.
[h3line h3-text=”9. Air, Gel, or Foam?“]
- Air
Insoles that use ‘air’ for cushioning have pressurized air bubbles enclosed in a foam base. Over time the foam will compress to give more supportive life to the insoles.
- Gel
Insoles that use liquid gel put them in bubbles embedded in a foam foot bed. It will increase the life of the insoles foam with compression for support and cushioning. Gel is comfortable for sensitive areas on your feet. It is harder to keep in place because it is not rigid and can be heavy. It’s thicker (denser) than air or foam and will last over time working and hiking.
- Foam
Foam has been around for years. It is not expensive, is rigid, shock absorbing, and dependable being durable. The dense foam and rigid hard base for arch support and heel cupping is effective. You will have more contact support that athletes and people on their feet demand. With the added support, there are more contact points from foam to your feet. Rather than just the heel and ball of the foot making contact, the total foot including the arch and foot length are supported to carry the load of the body’s weight. The is more transferring of your energy and injury reduction when your entire foot touches the ground. The con to this is that after a few months, the foam loses its ability to compress thereby you losing support.
[h2line h2-text=”What’s the Best?”]
Have a professional take a look at how you walk checking your gait and if you turn your foot out or inward. A good running shoe or insole will work regardless if it’s foam, air, gel, or a foam and gel combination. Be sure what you choose is rigid with a hard base structure for the best support.

[h2line h2-text=”Tips“]
- You can wear socks or pantyhose with any of the inserts.
- You are able to trim inserts with scissors, but not the plastic parts.
- You might need to remove the existing insert in your shoes so your shoes won’t be too tight when these are inserted.
- Insoles are sold in pairs; one for the left foot and one for the right foot. A pair of anything is two.
- Wash the way the instructions tell you. Generally, hand washing in warm detergent water should be sufficient with air drying. Clothes dryers will probably melt or shrink some of the components.
- You should replace the inserts about every 6 months.
- The inserts are great in military boots.
Final Thoughts
At the end of a hard day on our feet, we usually kick our shoes off the minute we walk in the door at home. Shoes today are mostly made of plastic and cardboard and that material hurts our feet. Leather is so expensive that no one can pay the price for a comfortable pair of shoes. Leather will conform to your feet and the fake materials just stay hard and hurt us. Even the athletic shoes are made of canvass and rubber and they too hurt our feet. Since society is greed-based, our feet suffer. We were never meant to walk in shoes. We were created to walk in the sand that naturally massages our feet removing dry skin and other natural things we don’t think about today.
Take the time to read customer reviews to see what others say about the inserts/insoles they bought. To have healthy feet, go barefoot in the house and grass and only wear warm socks in the winter inside. Your feet will thank you! Don’t forget to use an exfoliator or callus remover tool for smooth feet after you have soaked them in the tub or shower. Your feet will feel good! Happy shopping for happy feet!
