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."

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.
