By Annabelle Holman


In the prevention of feet complications and general body problems, acquiring a comfortable shoe is very essential. The importance of this is that, discomfort in shoes can be a sign of impending health condition that is likely to resurface sometime the future. In acquiring the right foot support, knowledge of Arch insoles would be necessary.

Considering the active nature of children, it is obvious that they are widely affected by the foot complications brought about by uncomfortable shoes in their daily endeavors. The preferred type of foot support for children is the flat one due to its flexibility with shoes and easiness in walking. If the shoes look good it is nearly impossible for the children to complain of any discomfort thus the foot support should be installed anyway just to be sure.

The inserts are readily availed in the local market not to mention the design which is sculpted to fit the sole of the people using them. The design is made in such a way that movement of the feet and flexibility are accommodated.

The inserts can be classified by texture, hard or soft. Hard inserts are made of stronger materials such as polypropylene which is worth noting offers more reliable comfort. The soft ones are ideal for sensitive feet since they are made of less rigid materials such as nylon and rubber. Of the two inserts the later is used for kids who are using support for the first time since they are easier to adapt than the former.

The height of the arch is another significant consideration. Classified as high and low, the height of the ankles is used to determine the size of the inserts. The insert is supposed to be bought relative to the height of the ankle of the person otherwise the investment will only cause more discomfort.

The slope of the foot varies from an individual as portrayed by the foot curve and it is put into consideration while acquiring a foot support system. The slope ranges from high medial size to the low lateral size. The usage of the straight slope foot support system makes it ideal because it is easily adapted than the concave one.

The essence of the foot support system is not only applicable to children but also to adults who have a history of swollen feet. They support the foot firmly in its right position helping reduce the occurrences of aches and prolonged discomfort. Similarly flat inserts are prescribed to individuals with aching joints and to those recovering from one. Some ailments like arthritis and diabetes require the affected person to where some special shoes that have their own fitted foot support to help reduce the pain significantly.

The pressure piled on using the foot support system on children is not because it is more adverse in children but because it is safer to litigate the problem as early as possible rather than handling the problem when it has matured into a full-blown health condition.
