Pedag
Viva
Mini (New Holiday)
Arch
Supports |
|
| Pedag has replaced its
classic Holiday arch supports with a new product that they call the
Pedag Viva Mini. This arch support has a new shell design but make
no mistake about it. The new Viva Mini is just a retooled, improved
and renamed Holiday arch support. The similarities between the Viva
Mini and the Classic Holiday arch supports outweigh the differences.
|
The similarities
between the Viva Mini (New Holiday arch supports) and the Classic
Holiday arch supports
|
| The Viva Mini (New Holiday
arch support) are still covered with a genuine leather top cover and
still come in both black and tan color. |
| The Viva Mini (New Holiday
arch support) still have an ultra thin, medium height, semi rigid
plastic arch support shell that will fit into almost any type of shoe
for either men or women. The general shape of the arch support shell
has remained the same which means that if you have been using the
classic Holiday arch supports you will not encounter any unexpected
(and uncomfortable) lumps or bumps in the new shell design of the
Viva Mini (New Holiday arch support). |
|
More
Similarities... |
| The Viva Mini (New Holiday
arch support) still has the same firm, teardrop shaped, foam metatarsal
arch pad (for the ball of the foot) that is glued to the top of the
plastic arch support shell (but underneath the leather cover). The
built in metatarsal pad is the same size, same shape and same height
on the Pedag Viva Mini as it was on the Classic Pedag Holiday arch
support. This means that when combined with the arch support's shell
the Pedag Viva Mini will still effectively support the medial, lateral
and metatarsal arch (just like the classic Holiday arch supports). |
| The Pedag Viva Mini (New
Holiday Arch Support) still has the foam cushion plug in heel to provide
extra cushioning for the heel but there is a difference in the design
of the foam plug and that is discussed below in the section about
“The Differences”. Finally, the Pedag Viva Mini (New Holiday
Arch Support) still has the peel and stick adhesive pad in the heel
which means that you can commit the arch support to a pair of open
back shoes or sandals and not worry about them falling out or changing
position while walking. Further, if the pad gets dirty and losses
its adhesive ability you can use a small square of double sided foam
tape to hold the arch support in place with equal effectiveness. This
type of tape is commonly available at hardware stores. For a more
permanent stick, apply a drop of rubber cement to the adhesive pad
before sticking it to the sandal or shoe. |

The
Differences |
| There are three changes
in the Pedag Viva Mini (New Holiday Arch Support) that differentiate
them from the old Classic Pedag Holiday arch supports. The main and
most important difference is that the arch support shell used in the
Pedag Viva Mini is made from a slightly harder polypropylene plastic
than the plastic used in the classic Pedag Holiday arch support. This
means that there is a subtle (but still worth mentioning) increase
in the level of support provided by the Pedag Viva Mini (New Holiday
Arch Support) over the old Classic Holiday arch support. The second
difference is that the foam cushion pad under the heel has been changed
from a round shape to a tear drop shape. While this might not seem
like a significant difference it does extend the heel cushioning a
little farther out under the weight bearing part of the calcaneus
(heel bone) which does add (although just a little) to the overall
comfort of the arch support. The final difference in the Pedag Viva
Mini (New Holiday Arch Support) is purely visual but as can be seen
from the pictures above, the bottom of the plastic arch support shell
is smooth and shiny dark gray. The classic Pedag holiday arch support
had a pearl textured plastic arch supports shell in either grey or
brown depending on the color of the leather top cover (not a big deal
but worth mentioning). |
