Insoles – Buyer’s Guide
Shock absorbing insoles, gel insoles and reflexology insoles (or innersoles) are used to supplement or replace the insoles supplied with a new pair of shoes or boots. Shock absorbing, gel insoles are designed to prevent and treat sports’ injuries such as shin splints, runner’s knee, jumper’s knee, ilio tibial band friction syndrome, medial tibial stress syndrome, tibial stress fractures and bone stress reactions, as well as osteoarthritis of the hip joint and knee joint.
This Buyer’s Guide will help you to choose the best foot care insole for your situation.
Full-length shock-absorbing insoles are used to replace the original insoles supplied with the shoe or, if the originals can accommodate them, to supplement the effect of the original insoles to reduce the force transmitted to the leg muscles and joints when you are walking, running or taking part in sport. By reducing the shock of impact, shock-absorbing insoles reduce muscle fatigue, help protect weak joints and ease the strains on ligaments and tendons, lowering the risk of developing shin splints, stress fractures and joint injuries. Shock-absorbing Insoles that feature an arch support will also prevent your foot from over-pronating, relieving the symptoms of runner’s knee, ilio-tibial band friction syndrome and calf muscle injuries.
Full Length Insoles Product Range
¾ Length shock-absorbing insoles work in exactly the same way as full length insoles - increasing the ability of your shoes to absorb the shock of each footfall, as you walk, run or play your chosen sport. You can place ¾ length insoles over, or beneath the original insoles to increase the shock absorption qualities of the shoe. By increasing your shoe’s shock absorption qualities, you reduce the chances of developing injuries such as shin splints, stress fractures and joint injuries. The reduced size of the ¾ length shock absorbing insoles makes them ideal for use in narrow-fitting sports’ shoes and boots.

Gel Insoles can be placed on top of the existing insole, or used as a replacement for the original. The thin gel cushion prevents shock and friction, which can relieve foot pain and provide instant relief for tired feet, while reducing the likelihood of your developing overuse injuries such a shin splints, joint pain and muscle fatigue. Covered with a nylon fabric for extra comfort and durability, the gel material naturally grips in place without any adhesive. Designed to fit on top of existing insoles, reflex gel insoles feature pimples or 'Micro Elevations' that allow air circulation and naturally massage reflex points on the sole of the foot. As well as providing foot pain relief, reflex insoles stimulate reflex points that are directly connected to the limbs, back and vital organs to prevent and relieve stiffness in those areas.
