ABSTRACT:
In an instep support for footwear, as for example in athletic shoes, strap or band member(s) extend upwardly and angularly forwardly from the insole, or the insole insert, for the shoe, and incorporate a fastening device at the band ends, so that they can be either secured together over the instep of the foot, or applied and held in place by connecting with the surface of a component of the shoe; the band members may also extend upwardly from an approximate central location for the insole, so that not only will the instep portion of the foot be embraced by the support, but the lateral portions of the arch will likewise be snugly retained by the elastic band members to assure full arch support in addition to a firm embracing of the instep of the foot as contained within the constructed shoe. In addition, a harness integrally connects with the band members and extends rearwardly therefrom for extending around the heel of the foot in order to enhance the support of the foot during application of the shoe.
