The Uses Of Custom Footbeds

By Eliza Mendoza


Custom Footbeds are pieces of clothing that are put on the upper part of the sole. This upper part is where the feet rest. The making of these dates back to history when early people placed pieces of rag on the soles. They did these to improve the comfort of the shoes. Modern man has replaced these rags with other smaller and smarter designs of cloths.

These in fits are developed domestically or commercially. The process that is done at home is quite simple. The initial step is where the fabric used to make the in fit is gathered. The material could be old or even new. In the case it is old, it is dusted and washed.

The design is then created by a team of experts. The design includes the shape, color and size of an insole. The size of an insole depends on the size of the shoe intended to be fit into. The shape of the color could be white, green or even black. The type of color should match with the color of a given shoe. The material is simply died to the particular required color.

The next step is the cutting process. The design of the insole is coded into the program intended to run the whole process. By use of sharp blades, the specialized machines cut the textile into the shape for example a sigmoid shape. The cutting exercise is fast. The cutting is done to many fabric pieces.

Afterwards, the pieces of materials are then stacked together. The pile differs in height from one insole to another. The height is determined by the purpose intended by the insole. Insoles intended for rigid activities require a thicker sole. The thick sole will be achieved by stacking more material together.

The machines then knit through the edges of a pile to ensure that they are uniform all through. The insoles are then packaged and ready for the markets. The goods could be sold to the domestic and international markets. These insoles have particular functions to their bearers. Thick ones act as shock absorbers for the feet. They generally help to reduce injury to the foot sole especially in the heel areas.

The insole helps to spread the weight of feet evenly. This ensures an easy transition from one phase to another during walking. It ensures the muscles contract and relaxes without much effort. This is in a bid to reduce any form of strain. The foot is aligned accordingly to maintain the various arches. It ensures that the various ankle ligaments are not over stretched. This allows a static stability.

Custom Footbeds are incorporated in most modern shoe wear. It is even more crucial for athletes such as runners and footballers. This is because they involve themselves in rigid exercises. Companies that have engaged in this trade have accumulated immense profits owing to the high demands. These companies most times are still the same ones that produce shoe wears. More manufacturers are making these commodities in the recent world.
