The Most Prominent Uses Of Insoles

By Kristie Irwin


An insole is a type of sole that is put to a shoe so as people can be comfortable when using it. The insole is inserted into a shoe and can be removed if not in use. It keeps diseases like arthritis, swelling of the legs and joint pains at bay. It also prevents bad odor of the feet, injuries and increases ones height. It is useful to athletes while they are performing their exercise. Shoe lifts are insoles that increase the height of the wearer. They are as well known as elevators.

Designs of elevators vary from time to time. Back in the early days, there were few designs of elevators. Nowadays, the manufacturers have found designs that satisfy a variety of clients. Not all of them have the comfort the customer needs since different types of material are used.

The shoe makers design for clients the type of insole they need according to their tastes and preferences. Some materials used to make the shoe inserts are very strong but some manufacturers are extremely inefficient. The thickness of the soles depends on the material used. An abnormal height will make the user uncomfortable and can cause joint pains and even fractures.

The detachable insoles have layers in them and the wearer can adjust the height if he so wishes. Elevators are made from many materials like wood and rubber. The tough nature of wood makes it suitable for this purpose. It helps to lift the shoe and the heel but manufacturers cannot make an insole from the wood.

Another material is the hard rubber which is used by the makers to design a heel lift. It is liked by customers because it has the comfort they need. It is tougher compared to wood and rubber. The most commonly used material is the soft rubber. This material is well known but it has limitations as it produces a bad smell if not blended with other material. However, the smell fades away with consistent wearing of the shoe.

Soft rubber can be easily be found by the designers as it is not expensive. There is another material called the gel. This is extracted from plant materials then manufactured. In the modern days the only material that is most reliable for shoe lifting is the gel. It is the most expensive material and is very difficult to find. Gel smells like petrol when it is new, but it has some traces of silicon.

In general, shoe lifts are different from heel lifts. The insole business is in the market and generates much income to the makers. The business needs a wise and hard working personality that has the ability to attract customers and retain them. One also has to be updated as styles keep on changing from time to time.

This business is mostly promoted by women as they are the ones who put on high shoes. However, men too have soles that are high. The insoles that avoid bad smell of the legs favor men who are always putting on closed shoes. Therefore insoles should be put into consideration whenever one is buying shoes.
