ABSTRACT:
An insole insert comprises a body having a bottom portion, a heel edge, a lateral side edge, a medial side edge, a depression portion spaced generally centrally beneath the user's first metatarsal phalangeal joint, a heel portion formed along the heel lateral side edges and extending forwardly to just rearwardly of the user's fifth metatarsal phalangeal joint, and an arch portion formed along the medial side edge and extending forwardly to just rearwardly of the depression portion. The heel portion and the arch portion, which form a channel that is laterally angularly offset relative to the insole insert, are configured to cooperatively redistribute the normally greater weight-generated forces applied to the inner and more bony regions of the user's heel outwardly toward the outer and more fleshy regions of the user's heel. The bottom portion, the depression portion, the heel portion, and the arch portion are configured to cooperatively redistribute weight-generated forces operatively bearing against the sole of the user's foot such that greater weight-generated forces normally bearing against certain regions of the arch and forefoot of the user's foot are substantially reduced and redistributed toward other regions whereat smaller weight-bearing forces normally bear against the sole of the user's foot.
