Foot Care: Should I Use Shock Doctor Insoles and Inserts?

Let's face it; shoes do not always offer the support that feet need to stay healthy. Many are poorly constructed and put your feet into a bind whenever you put them on. Even expensive shoes have left foot care in the dust in the name of fashion. So, what should you do? Should you wear ugly, sensible shoes or is there a way that you can wear the shoes you love and still get the support you need?

To keep your feet healthy, shoes must do the following:

• Offer proper arch support.
• Allow plenty of room for your feet. Ill-fitting or too-tight shoes are responsible for the majority of foot conditions.
• Absorb impact from walking and standing.
• Let your toes wiggle. The toe box should not be narrow or cramped.
• Not put undue pressure on the metatarsals or ball of the foot.

The first step to keeping your feet healthy is to purchase the right shoes. But if your shoes are lacking in any of the above, you can correct the problem with Shock Doctor Insoles. Shock Doctor trim free 3/4 insoles add support and cushion which protect feet against injury. The 3/4 length design covers the heel, arch and ball of foot portion of the shoe and leaves the toes free to wriggle. This means that Shock Doctor Insoles fit well into most types of shoes. There is no need to trim, and toes do not become cramped.

Should you wear Shock Doctor trim free insoles? If you come home from work with aching feet every day, you need a new pair of shoes or the extra support that insoles provide. You might need both. The truth is that your feet should never hurt after a hard day's work. If they do, your feet are not getting the support they need.
