ABSTRACT:
A resilient and compressible orthopedic pad adapted to be placed in a shoe under the longitudinal and metatarsal arches comprises a flat L-shaped bottom surface adapted to contact the inner sole of the shoe. One longitudinal side is substantially convex for the majority of its length and is adapted to roll up into the medial side of the shoe. The other longitudinal side is concave over the intermediate portion. The ratio of length to width of the pad is between approximately 1.3 and 1.5. The forward end of the pad is wider than its rear end. The forward end of the pad curves upwardly and rearwardly and the rear end curves upwardly and forwardly. Each longitudinal side curves upwardly towards the other longitudinal side.
