Testimonials
"As you could imagine, enduring long
hours on a gym on a particularly hard tred
mill it can be a strain on your legs as well
as your feet. I find these insoles very absorbing
and comfortable and recommend them to any
sports fanatic or anybody who plays sport."
Mr M Davies Scotland, U.K
"I am writing to tell you how happy
I am with your insoles. On two separate occasions
I have had professionally fitted orthotics.
Both were rigid and intolerable to wear. In
addition to being flat-footed, I have traumatic
arthritis in my left ankle. Prior to purchasing
your insoles, I thought surgery was the only
option for the constant pain when I walked.
To my surprise and happiness, both my feet
and my left ankle have quit hurting. Your
insoles are a God-send."
Ms Lindsay Barker, UK
"I have been using your Sport Insoles
for about 4 months.
As an electricity meter reader and a keen
sportsman walking up to 10km a day at times,
I find they give more support and good shock
absorption than any other insole I have tried.
I gave a friend a pair of insoles to try.
He's had a lot of problems with ankles sprain
from running and even when walking and has
to wear orthotics. He now tells me that the
insoles have great cushioning and his running
has improved. He hasn't had any injuries since
using the insoles. Thanking you."

"I love the Dr Foot Sports Insoles!
I am an avid runner, with over-pronation and
a family history of foot and leg pain. The
Dr Foot Sports Insoles make running possible
for me. I've tried many other insoles and
none of them work as well as Dr Foot. I'm
currently training for my second marathon,
and my Dr. Foot Sports Insoles are protecting
me from injury. Thank you!"

An
ankle sprain is a common sporting injury. It can be
a very painful experience and can significantly affect
a patient’s lifestyle. It occurs due to the ankle
twisting and causing damage to soft tissues and ligaments.
A ligament consists of several strands of tissue all
compacted together to form a strong structure, similar
to a rope. An ankle sprain may result in a partial
or complete tear of a ligament, which stabilizes the
ankle joint.
Once
the ligament is torn, it becomes weak which in turn
causes the ankle stability to be affected. Athletes
in various sports are at a greater risk of being afflicted
with an ankle sprain. When an ankle sprain occurs,
the usual scenario involves the athlete "rolling"
his or her ankle while landing from a jump and experiencing
a sharp pain on the outside of the ankle. If the athlete
can walk on the injured ankle, the likelihood of a
serious injury is less, but athletic participation
should be discontinued. Shoes should be kept on until
examination and treatment. The primary cause of an
ankle sprain is over pronation.
This can be controlled via sports insoles.

Orthotic
Proof Sources and Safety Data.
The use of foot orthotics has been researched and
tested by leading institutions around the world, and
is widely accepted in the medical community. Foot
orthotics/ foot insoles are used in both public and
private hospitals and clinics.
Clinical studies and field research verify the value
of orthotics in preventing and treating ankle sprains
while improving the structural integrity of the ligaments
and muscles around the ankle. Flexible orthotics control
foot motion without restricting function and creating
compensatory movement in other structures.

Dr Foot's Sport
Insoles provide extra longitudinal support and cushioning
for runners, plus lateral support for tennis, football
and aerobics. Forefoot extensions prevent movement
of the insert, which is important during sporting
activities. Ideal for patients seeking arch support
for prevention and treatment of ankle sprains.
The ideal insoles
for complete foot support, comfort, correct posture
and mechanics. Dr Foot's insole is a unique foot support
system intended to help relieve ankle sprains, while
preventing foot strain and injury. A full-length,
prescription like arch support prevents and treats
foot pain. The result: control for feet rolling inward
(over-pronation), which can pull the entire lower
body out of alignment. A special fabric cover reduces
slippage and heat, helping keep feet drier.
