Good work Howie!

 

Hmmmm

Don't get it. How does this reduce forefoot pressure?

Confused (perminantly) of maidstone.

 

Insolia is a product which works by very subtly altering the position of the foot in a high heeled shoe. Approximately 20-25% of the weight borne by the forefoot is moved posteriorly towards the heel. Approximately 85% of women who try Insolia feel this immediately, and it truely makes high heels more comfortable.

Insolia was created using in-shoe pressure analysis equipment. The thing that has always surprised me is how subtle changes to foot position can create such profound changes in function. Podiatrists have been geared toward visual observation of changes in foot position to assess changes in function. When measured via in-shoe systems, far less correction is required to achieve the improved outcome.

Millions of pairs of Insolia have been sold worldwide. Our return rate is under 2%.

Howard,

In the Biomechanics paper, it states that plantar pressures in high heels (with Insolia insoles) were compared to athletic shoes, and the increase in pressure associated with the heels (22%) was less than that reported in a different paper (Mandato). Does this mean that no comparisons were made with and without Insolia insoles in the high heel, or am I missing something?
