ABSTRACT:
A custom-fitted insole assembly for use in a shoe directly under a wearer's foot includes a heel-cupping and arch-supporting base component custom contoured to fit the heel and arch of the wearer's foot, a heel stabilizing component attached to an underside heel region of the base component, and a shock absorbing top sheet component sized to underlie the bottom of the wearer's foot and at its rear half to overlie and conform to the contour of the base component. Apparatus for custom fitting the base component of the insole assembly uses a support stand having a transparent window on which the wearer stands for examining the wearer's weighted feet to determine foot type, and a molding pad composed of at least one gel bag of flowable material disposable on the transparent window after the examination is completed for molding under the wearer's weighted foot a heated base component blank into the heel-cupping and arch-supporting base component of the insole assembly so as to custom contour the base component to fit the heel and arch of the wearer's foot.
