Basic knowledge and selection tips for breathable insoles

Walking is a basic form of human movement. During walking, the feet bear the weight of the whole body and the burden of movement. Therefore, breathable insoles are almost necessary for everyone. Although insoles don't have a high presence, their role is significant. Let's learn about the basic knowledge and selection skills of breathable insoles!

1. Prevent feet from slipping in shoes

　　2. Improve support and enhance gait stability

　　3. Shock absorption

　　4. Correct walking and standing posture.

　　Breathable insoles are everyday items, so what selection skills should we have when buying them?

　　First, look at the thickness of the sole. Ordinary cloth or fiber soles cannot be too thin; otherwise, the feet will be uncomfortable when worn in shoes. Next, see if you sweat. Unless the shoes are a little smaller, ordinary cloth soles need frequent cleaning. These mainly use cloth to absorb sweat; bamboo charcoal and other fibers do not need frequent washing, but you can have several pairs. Next, let's look at the softness and hardness of the insoles. Breathable insoles that are too soft are prone to wrinkling and shrinking, causing discomfort to the feet. However, the insoles cannot be too hard, as this can cause pain in the soles and the formation of thick calluses over time. Therefore, when choosing breathable insoles, choose those with moderate softness and hardness.

　　Next, look at the workmanship of the insoles. Breathable insoles require fine workmanship. There should be no loose threads or unsewn areas. Since the feet work well and there is a lot of friction, if there are loose threads or unsewn areas, they will wear out quickly. Another option is to choose insoles that are slightly smaller than your shoes, but the difference should not be too large. The gap after placing the insole should generally be controlled to about 2-3 mm. If it fits the shoe perfectly, it will be troublesome to take the shoes on and off. In fact, there are many types of insoles on the market now, and they are generally easy to use. If your feet tend to sweat, it is better to choose thick, sweat-absorbing insoles. There are also some differences between winter and summer. In summer, you can choose sweat-absorbing and refreshing types, while in winter, you can choose sweat-absorbing and warm types. However, winter insoles should not be worn in shoes for too long and need to be replaced frequently.

　　Breathable insoles are also good in terms of materials, performance, thickness, and workmanship.

　　Breathable insoles use lightweight and breathable materials as the main material of ACI artificial cartilage insoles. The porosity can reach 70%, which reduces the weight of the insole while keeping the feet breathable and refreshing. The breathable material is also water-washable and resistant to compression deformation, greatly improving the service life of the insoles; in terms of performance, it protects the knees and legs to a large extent, and reduces the probability of foot calluses; technologically, the arch combines ergonomics, biomechanics, and 8 years of foot shape data accumulation to reduce foot pressure and prevent foot fatigue from long periods of standing or walking. Insoles are a big deal. Although they are inconspicuous small items, they can prevent knee injury during exercise, reduce the damage to the feet during daily walking, and correct incorrect walking posture. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the right insoles.
