Not only can the high-heeled shoes be more comfortable, but also the foot injuries can be reduced with the help of insoles. And there are many kinds of high-heeled shoe insoles. The following is a brief introduction of how to choose a pair of suitable insoles for high-heeled shoes.
Distinguish by size
1. Full length insoles
The design of the
full length insoles can provide support for the full sole of the foot, so it is also one of the most comfortable optional insole types. Although the typical full-sole insole is relatively thick and needs more space at the head of the shoe, the full-sole insole specially made for high-heeled shoes is light and thin, which makes it well adapted to high-heeled shoes.
2. Half length insoles
The half size insole is specially made for supporting the heel. It has no supporting function for the front part of the foot. However, compared with full-sole insoles, half-sole insoles have higher
adaptability and can be used together with high-heeled shoes with toes exposed.
This type of insole has good support for heel and arch.
3/4 length insoles also can prevent heel slippage and friction if the shoe is too large or the foot perspires easily. Another advantage of three-quarters insoles is to improve a person's foot position by redistributing the load range from toe to heel. It makes your feet more comfortable and improves your posture so that you can walk more gracefully.
4. Metatarsal insoles
Compared with other insoles, this insole is much smaller and placed under the metatarsal bones, which helps to reduce the pressure and tension of the metatarsal bones.
