Walking With Insoles

Walking, as we know, is one of the most natural things in the World. But increasingly, people are turning to walking as a pastime; for leisure, for an interest in nature and wildlife and as a source of fitness. Indeed, during the last 12 months and the COVID-19 pandemic, walking was pretty much all we could do. And it was common to see individual people, couples and family groups taking their daily exercise on foot. For many people that has become a habit that has stuck.

The daily routine of walking the dog, walking to the shops or simply getting some fresh air in the summer months is vital to many people as a form of mental and physical health support, but also as a form of rehabilitation if you have suffered an injury or discomfort of some sort. In that sense, insoles for shoes are extremely common, and are in popular use as an everyday walking aid or to provide more specialist help for enjoying sports.

How insoles can help your feet

Certainly it is true that when you start using insoles on a daily basis, you will wonder how and why you ever managed without them.

Insoles provide comfort for existing injuries, specifically to the feet, ankles and legs, but also prevent conditions worsening or developing in the first place. They can also help to improve posture and foot positioning and alignment, when standing, walking or running.

With the range of insoles supplied by OR8 Wellness, there is no need for specialist fitting or tailored styles. All our insoles are designed to fit most modern shoes of all styles and are simple to install and wear. But we do supply insoles that are designed for specific purposes.

Our range of insoles

Our range of orthotic insoles provide comfort and targeted support, particularly for common conditions such as plantar fasciitis. We can supply:

• ¾ insoles – to provide arch support for shorter length shoes
• Arch insoles – with special padding specifically to provide support for the arch of the foot
