The Functions Of Custom Footbeds

By Eliza Mendoza


Custom Footbeds are pieces of clothing that are put on the upper part of the sole. This upper part is where the feet rest. The making of these dates back to history when early people placed pieces of rag on the soles. They did these to improve the comfort of the shoes. Modern man has replaced these rags with other smaller and smarter designs of cloths.

These in fits are developed domestically or commercially. The process that is done at home is quite simple. The initial step is where the fabric used to make the in fit is gathered. The material could be old or even new. In the case it is old, it is dusted and washed.

The shapes of the in fit are determined by the type of shoe wear to be fitted into. The shape is created by the specific individual. The shape is drawn by use of a pencil or marker. The outline is made clearly to avoid gross errors.

The shape is put into practical use by of a cardboard. The cardboard is placed on to the material and a cutting is made. The cutting is done by use of a sharp blade or knife.The process is repeated to many materials. The materials are then stacked together and glued together. Dyeing is done to achieve a particular color. The final product is a domestic insole.

Afterwards, the pieces of materials are then stacked together. The pile differs in height from one insole to another. The height is determined by the purpose intended by the insole. Insoles intended for rigid activities require a thicker sole. The thick sole will be achieved by stacking more material together.

These insoles are used for many functions. The velvet used to make the insole helps to act as a protective for the top skin of the foot sole. The fabric helps also to absorb sweat or moisture around the toes. It is known that this sweat could cause athletes foot which happens to be a fungal infection. It protects the foot sole by acting as a pad. This ensures that it reduces the impact during injuries or accidents.

The insoles have several benefits. They help to improve the stability of the foot by reducing the strain on the ankle tendons and stability ligaments. This results to maintenance of that arch system of feet. The strength of feet is increased. It supports the foot structure and promotes a comfortable foot posture. The foot pad acts as a shock absorber.It works to reduce the impacts placed on the feet during various activities.

Custom Footbeds are incorporated in most modern shoe wear. It is even more crucial for athletes such as runners and footballers. This is because they involve themselves in rigid exercises. Companies that have engaged in this trade have accumulated immense profits owing to the high demands. These companies most times are still the same ones that produce shoe wears. More manufacturers are making these commodities in the recent world.
