ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a relaxation insole for putting inside a shoe to give the wearer of the shoe a sensation of well-being.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The insole region of the foot is known to have numerous muscles, tendons, vessels, and nerves which, on being stimulated, can influence the rest of the organism.
OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention seeks to relax the wearer of the insole by acting on the way in which the sole region of the foot bears against the insole.
The invention achieves this by means of an insole which comprises in combination:
a supination-providing heel cup;
a heel-bone support;
a support beneath the first two metatarsals; and
a support beneath the last three metatarsal heads.
The inventors have observed that such an insole provides its user with a sensation of slackening at the abdomen and in the lumbar region, a sensation of easing of the knees, and a sensation of general well-being.
The invention also provides a shoe fitted with an insole as specified above.
