Since most shoes are designed to fit the masses, your foot is not properly supported and is adjusting to the insole of your shoe. Think of an arch support or accommodative insert as a device that is designed to fill the space between your foot and the shoe, providing proper support and alignment.
Think of the bottom of your foot as the foundation of your body. The foot must be in proper alignment and balance to support the rest of your body correctly. In fact if your foot is not in alignment it can and will throw the rest of your body out of alignment causing poor posture and pain in the ankles, knees, lower back, and even the neck.
A properly fitted arch support or insert can effectively provide comfort, balance and support, and in most cases, improve your posture.
"Since an accident in 2000, which left me with a broken ankle and a dislocated joint, it seemed as if I had been through so much to try and regain my active lifestyle. After visiting Foot Solutions, I could hardly believe the massive improvement in my mobility. Thank to Foot Solutions I was soon playing tennis again with my son, something I hadn't been able to do for years."
