Arch support inserts are shoe inserts that may replace the current shoe insert (the one that comes with the shoe), although sometimes they may just be an addition to the shoe you have right now.
Those who have arch support issues may also have knee pain, back pain, heel spurs, tired and achy feet or other foot and spinal issues. The arch of your foot supports the foot so you can have a strong, solid foundation for good posture, and when it collapses, every part of the body’s posture could suffer. Arch support could start with foot pain and then quickly progress to knee pain, back pain and even headaches.
There are many arch support inserts on the market, including FootDisc, Powerstep, Superfeet, CurrexSole, Birkinstock, New Balance, Orthaheel, Sof Sole, Spenco, and Pedag. Because of the importance of getting the arch support correct in your choice of arch support inserts, each brand line has their own different types. For example, Superfeet arch support inserts include:
