What is
the difference between arch and foot supports?
Foot
supports are basically the same as arch
supports but foot supports are specifically a one piece,
full length insole that incorporates an arch
support into its design. Basically foot supports are arch
supports and can be used to treat common foot problems. Arch
supports, on the other hand, refer specifically to the ¾
length support piece that runs from the heel to the ball of
the foot. It is often made from plastic but it could be made
from cork, or foam. Historically they have even been made from
metal as well but today plastic is the preferred material because
it is light, durable and easy to work with.
We offer a wide
range of arch supports and foot supports from firm support to
soft cushion and everything in between. Whether you have painful
foot problems
due to an injury or simply have sore and tired feet because
you stand all day, we have the products you need for you at
a great low price!
All of our products are covered by a 30 day money back guarantee!
Foot
Notes On Arch Supports
By
David Fisher the Owner Of Feet Relief
Types
Of Arch Supports
Hard
Vs. Soft
Arch supports are constructed from a wide variety of materials
both hard and soft. These different materials affect both
the feel of the arch support and the level of support it can
provide.
Hard arch supports and orthotics typically provide a higher
level of support than soft arch supports. Today, some of the
best hard arch supports and orthotics are constructed from
polypropylene plastic. Polypropylene is rigid enough to support
the weight of an active, full grown adult but at the same
time retains enough flexibility to allow the foot to work
naturally and comfortably. These types of arch supports can
take a little getting used to, especially for people with
flat feet. Typically, the flatter one's feet the longer it
takes to get used to the arch supports because there is a
greater degree for bone and tissue shifting.
Soft arch supports are made from softer materials which can
include soft plastic (such as nylon), rubber, foam and occasionally
cork. Soft arch supports don't provide the same level of support
as hard arch supports or last as long but they are initially
very comfortable and easy to get used to. People with extremely
sensitive feet, extremely flat feet or extremely deformed
feet (such as in the case of some elderly people) will be
more likely to try these arch supports and stick with them
because they are more comfortable. Often times people that
start off in soft arch supports gradually work their way up
into more supportive harder ones.
High
Vs. Low Arch Supports
All arch supports are sculpted with different maximum and
minimum heights making some arch supports higher than others.
It is important to know the relative height of a given arch
support in order to gauge who it will be most effective for.
Arch supports that are significantly lower than a person's
natural arch will not give their feet enough support and won't
be of much benefit. Arch supports that are much higher than
a person's natural arch will feel uncomfortable from the start
and remain uncomfortable, even after an extended and gradual
breaking-in period.
The
Slope Of The Arch
All arch supports are designed with a slope that goes from
a higher medial side to a lower lateral side, this is fundamental.
What is not fundamental and varies considerably from one arch
support to another is the curve of that slope. Some arch supports
have a straighter slope while others have a more concaved
slope. All things being equal, the arch support with the straighter
slope gives more support then the arch support with the concaved
slope.
