I mentioned to a friend of mine who used to work on a ranch that he didn’t have to have foot pain from wearing his cowboy boots and he didn’t appear to be interested in what I was saying. However, I’m really bothered by people who have pain, and if I have an answer for them, I’ll get as dramatic as needed to make a point. So with this man, I ordered him to take off his cowboy boots so I could check out the insoles in them.
Just as I thought, I found that the insoles were worn down to a very thin layer. In fact, it looked as if he had never changed the insoles in the boots in the 5+ years he had those boots. And then I dropped the big bomb on him – “Hey, I bet your feet would feel exceptionally good if we could replace these with leather insoles that have arch supports.”
His eyes dilated when I said leather insoles. He was the kind of guy that had a leather jacket, leather gloves, and probably a leather hat. If anything was leather, it got him interested. I’ll let you know what happens when he tries the Pedag Viva Leather Orthotic Insoles.
You don’t have to be an old-time cowboy to appreciate the Pedag Viva leather orthotic insoles. Many people these days want nothing but the best materials in their footwear, outerwear and even underwear. Others may be sensitive to synthetic ingredients and break out in a rash if they wear anything else; these people are rarely if ever allergic or sensitive to leather.
Pedag is the only company on the market right now that can insure you have a minimum of synthetic materials of any kind. They use not only vegetable tanned leather in the Pedag viva leather orthotic insoles and when considering what type of odor control to initiate in the orthotic, opted for natural activated carbon. Activated carbon is the type of substance that is used in water filtration and even by herbalists so it’s about as natural as you can find.
There’s a lot to be said for using natural and not man-made materials in anything close to your skin. Natural materials allow the skin to breathe and don’t clog the cells on a molecular level with chemicals and unnatural substances that the body recognizes as unnatural and wants to remove them. Thus, your feet would be constantly trying to detoxify itself all day long when you wear orthotics made from man-made materials. However, with the Pedag viva orthotics, your body is spared from all these extra detoxification efforts.
The Pedag Viva is a full shoe length orthotic that has an arch support bridge for your medial arch in the foot and also a metatarsal pad for the ball of your foot. There’s also a cushioned heel plug built into the orthopedic design of the Pedag viva orthotic which comes in handy if you have heel pain from either Achilles tendonitis, heel spurs or plantar fasciitis. In fact, this orthotic is recommended for the following conditions:
• plantar fasciitis
• arch pain
• Achilles tendonitis
• heel spurs
• pain in the ball of the foot or toe area of the foot
The Pedag viva has received the seal of approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association.
Consumers love them as well. One review mentioned that a lot of money was wasted on other brands of insoles that were poor quality, and no more pain in the feet and legs from arthritis. Another customer reviewed the Pedag viva and it didn’t take long for foot pain relief to show up.
The Pedag Viva orthotics may be obtained in larger men’s sizes such as size 16, 17 and 18.
