Splayfoot insoles

introduction

The principle of Splayfoot insoles consists in relieving the pressure-sensitive regions of the sole of the foot, which are usually in the middle of the ball of the foot and in the area of ​​the 3rd and 4th Metatarsal head (Metatarsal heads) can be found.
This is why one speaks of a 'retrocapital support' (= located behind the metatarsal head), which covers both the transverse and the longitudinal arch of the Foot supported.

In many health and ready-to-wear shoes there is a so-called Splayfoot pad already permanently installed.
It is also possible to buy individual insoles in stores and then place them in normal shoes. With a healthy foot, such support measures are perceived as pleasant. However, these designs are not suitable for painful splayfeet in order to ensure permanent relief.

Here it is advisable to use a individually made insert to wear. These are prescribed by the attending doctor by prescription, the costs are usually borne by the health insurance of the cheapest option.
As a rule, for an orthopedic insert for those with statutory health insurance, an additional payment of € 20-50 must be made. Private health insurance generally covers the costs in full.

Production of splayfoot insert

To Manufacture of splayfoot insoles the feet must first be measured.
To do this, the patient steps into foam blocks about 3-5 cm high so that a three-dimensional image of the feet is created. Sometimes there is already the possibility of an exact, electronic foot measurement. The orthopedic shoe technician then produces a custom-made insole. Standard materials are mostly mixtures of cork and leather or special foams. Soft and thick insoles are definitely desirable!

Adaptation and getting used to the insole

In simple cases it is sufficient to wear a narrow pad that does not run over the entire width of the sole of the foot. However, it can also be advantageous if the inlay extends over the entire width.

In order to achieve an optimal fit, you should already take the impression Shoes that are often worn. So can width and length of the Splayfoot insoles can already be adapted to the shape of the shoe. If those affected do a lot of sport, an additional, more resilient sports insole for sneakers can also be considered.

Unfortunately, you can't always expect the insole to fit perfectly the first time you try it on. Corrections in length and width may be necessary. Children in particular express discomfort or pain when walking with the new splayfoot insoles at the beginning. Most of the time, however, they get used to the unfamiliar feeling in their shoes after a few days.
