Are you the type of person who is similar to me in that you want the most customized type of orthotic to fit your foot (almost like a glove), yet your product choices are centered around ones that are as natural as possible?

 

Maybe you don’t like synthetic fabrics of any kind or maybe even your body reacts negatively to synthetic materials. This can happen even with footwear, and you may have found in the past that wearing a specific type of sandals made from synthetic materials makes your feet smell really bad. It’s embarrassing and it’s a conundrum because your feet never smell that bad when you don’t wear those particular shoes.

 

 

You’d probably like the Pedag viva leather orthotic, but sometimes, you may want an orthotic that is different.

 

Compared to the Pedag viva leather orthotic, the Pedag viva mini is shorter and very thin with an ultra-light design.  The Pedag viva mini is only three-quarters the length of your shoe, so this makes it ideal for high heels, shoes that are tight in the toe area, and even tight boots for hiking.

 

The amazing thing about all Pedag orthotics and shoe inserts is that they use a minimal amount of synthetic materials in favor of natural materials. In the Pedag viva mini, you’ll find heat moldable polypropylene arch support that gives it a semi-rigid structure that won’t collapse. Many orthotics on the market are susceptible to collapsing because the material they are made from is far too soft to hold its structure over time or with the pressure of excess body weight.

 

The Pedag viva mini polypropylene arch support is not in direct contact with your foot; it’s covered with a vegetable tanned sheepskin so your feet can still breathe. Sheepskin is the type of material that makes your feet happy! They are soothed and coddled with sheepskin. Sheepskin, by the way is an all-weather type of material, meaning that it keeps feet warm in the winter but cool in the summer.

 

By the way, there really aren’t a lot of other footwear companies or orthotic companies that use a lot of natural and not manmade materials in their orthotics, inserts, and insoles.

 

In this orthotic, you’ll also find a metatarsal ball of the foot pad which takes any excess pressure off this area of the foot, especially if you have metatarsalgia. In fact, podiatrists and staff at The Insole Store do recommend the Pedag viva mini orthotic for those with this condition. It can assist with pain relief based on its ergonomic structure that fits the anatomical configuration of your foot.

 

Podiatrists also recommend the Pedag viva mini orthotic for those with plantar fasciitis and some do recommend it for the prevention of plantar fasciitis or other foot issues.

 

Customers who purchase the Pedag viva mini generally return to get additional pairs for other shoes in their closet. You may do the same!
