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
"Dr Foot Sports Insoles give your feet
proper arch support, helping to prevent over
pronation. The use of insoles reduces the
muscle activity of the lower leg, feels more
comfortable and improves performance."
Runners World Magazine, November 2008 edition
"I have just received my insoles and
they are fantastic, already I can feel the
difference and its the first day, I did not
need to wear them for two hours, I wore them
all day, and my feet and ankles felt brilliant
all day, I have been really suffering of late,
as I roll over like your diagram.
I used to go to the Bio-Mechanics section
for Orthotics at my local hospital, but I
believe they have stopped the service and
I have suffered ever since.
I bought your insoles, but did not want to
risk ordering the two pairs for £40,
as did not know if they would suit, I now
wish I had, is there anyway I could order
a second pair now and take advantage of that
discount, or is it too late, as I can see
I will be moving them from one pair of shoes
to the other as they are so brilliant.
Many thanks for the speedy delivery and your
wonderful product. "
Miss Lombard, UK

One of the most common causes of foot and leg discomfort
is a condition known as over pronation. Normal pronation,
or "turning inward", of the foot is necessary
as the foot adapts to the ground. With over pronation,
the arch flattens, collapses, and soft tissues stretch.
This causes the joint surfaces to function at unnatural
angles to each other. When this happens, joints that
should be stable now become very loose and flexible.
At first, over pronation may only cause fatigue. As
the problem gets worse, strain on the muscles, tendons,
and ligaments of the foot and lower leg can cause
permanent problems and deformities.
APPEARANCE
OF OVER PRONATION
1. When standing, your heels lean inward.
2. When standing, one or both of your knee caps turn
inward.
3. Conditions such as a flat feet or bunions may
occur.
4. You develop knee pain when you are active or involved
in athletics. The knee pain slowly goes away when
you rest.
5. You abnormally wear out the soles and heels of
your shoes very quickly.
SYMPTOMS OF OVER PRONATION
Symptoms
can manifest in many different ways. The associated
conditions depend on the individual lifestyle of each
patient. Here is a list of some of the conditions
associated with over pronation:
- Hallux
Abducto Valgus (bunions)
- Hallux
Rigidus (stiff 1st toe)
- Arch
Pain
- Heel
Pain (plantar Facsitus)
- Metatarsalgia
(ball of the foot pain)
- Ankle
sprains
- Shin
Splints
- Achilles
Tendonitis
- Osteochondrosis
- Knee
Pain
- Corns
& Calluses
- Flat
Feet
- Hammer
Toes
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 relieving over pronation and improving
structural integrity. Flexible orthotics control foot
motion without restricting function and creating compensatory
movement in other structures.

Traditional Treatment
Over pronation insoles have been used for years to
help people with over pronation. Traditionally when
we think of insoles or orthotics we think of a hard
plastic insert that is placed in the shoe. It cups
the heel and supports the arch but because it is not
flexible it does not extend the full length of the
foot. This tends to make this type of orthotic uncomfortable,
and ineffective for many people. It also repositions
the arch using "brute force."
Because it is not flexible it forces the arch into
it's correct position but does nothing to relieve
the pressure that is forcing the arch to collapse,
causing over pronation, in the first place.
This type of hard plastic orthotic can actually cause
increased pain in patients, which is the reason why
we have recommended the Dr Foot's Sport Insoles for
the treatment of over pronation. They provide a flexible
yet incredibly supportive and stable treatment for
over pronation.

Product for Over Pronation
Dr
Foot's Sport & Work Insoles
 
Having feet that are pronated
means that the arch of your foot is collapsed or lowered.
This collapsing of the long arch of the foot can lead
to more severe problems of the foot and ankle. Misalignment
of the fragile bones of the feet can lead to arthritic
pain, ligament destabilization, tendonitis and severe
fascitis.
Insoles (orthotics) are designed
to raise the arch, realign the foot, reduce pain and
distribute weight evenly which also minimizes strain
to the knees and spine.
Dr Foot's Insoles work wonders
on problem-prone feet. These Insoles are biomechanically
engineered to help relieve pronation. The contoured
shape supports your feet in two directions, both lengthwise
and across the arch, for maximum relief of pain and
fatigue. The special poron heel cushion and the comfortable
arch support helps to reduce shock absorption and
fatigue. Dr Foot Sport Insoles are engineered to combat
over pronation and provide greater stability and maximum
support. Ideal for patients seeking arch support for
prevention and treatment of over pronation.
Dr Foot's Sport Insoles treats
the underlying cause of over pronation and provides
comfort for sufferers of conditions such as Back Pain,
Heel Pain, Bunions, Flat Feet, Neuroma, Foot Pain,
Metatarsalgia, Shin Pain and Achilles Pain.
