Be careful when buying insoles
Don’t be too superstitious about health insoles. Take massage insoles as an example, there are dozens of reflection areas on one foot of a person, and the main organs of the human body, such as the heart, liver, kidney, etc., have corresponding reflection areas on the feet, but the massage points on the insole are ‘ Casting a net type ‘, lack of pertinence, its therapeutic effect can be imagined. It can also thicken the skin on the feet and sometimes cause side effects if not worn properly.
Diabetic patients are prone to vascular neuropathy and lead to diabetic foot. The skin of the feet is very easy to break, and it is not easy to heal after the break. Therefore, diabetic patients should avoid using massage insoles, but should choose comfortable cotton insoles.
The orthopedic insole can correct some mild deformities of the feet to a certain extent. It can relieve the local excessive pressure on the soles of the feet caused by the deformity of the feet, thereby relieving the fatigue of the feet. However, orthopedic insoles must be used under the guidance of an orthopaedic surgeon.
For different shoes, the ideal insole should have different hardness. For example, the hardness of the insole of leather shoes should be smaller, and the hardness of the insole of sports shoes should be slightly higher.
Notes when using insoles
Maintain hygiene: Insoles are best replaced daily. Scrub the insoles with soap and water once a week to keep them dry and clean to prevent athlete’s foot due to mold growth.
Regular replacement: Due to the cushioning properties of the insole, after a long period of use, this property of the insole will be destroyed. Generally speaking, the sports insoles equipped in sports shoes, when half of the life of the shoes are consumed, the insoles have already ‘end of life’. For sports insoles, there is a basic replacement principle: after 150 hours of aerobic exercise, the insole will lose elasticity and should be replaced at this time.
