Introduction
Ever feel like your feet are just not built like everyone else’s?
Maybe you’ve got flat feet that collapse when you stand. Or super high arches that make regular shoes feel like walking on stilts. Whatever the case, you’re not alone—and the solution might be way simpler than you think.
Enter: Orthopedic insoles.
In this blog, we’ll break down how your arch type affects your entire body—and how using the right orthopedic insole can completely change your comfort, posture, and energy levels.
What Are Orthopedic Insoles?
Orthopedic insoles (also called orthotic insoles) are footbed inserts that:
-
Support your arches
-
Distribute pressure evenly
-
Improve foot alignment
-
Reduce stress on knees, hips, and spine
They're not just for people with foot problems—they're for anyone who wants to move better and feel less fatigued.
What Are Flat Feet and High Arches?
Let’s break it down:
Flat Feet
Your arches collapse when you stand, and your foot rolls inward (overpronation). Common symptoms include:
-
Heel pain
-
Arch pain
-
Swollen ankles
-
Tired legs
High Arches
You have a noticeable curve in your foot even when standing. Often causes:
-
Poor shock absorption
-
Pain in the ball or heel of the foot
-
Balance issues
The wrong footwear (or no support at all) can make both conditions worse. That’s where orthopedic insoles shine.
How Orthopedic Insoles Help Flat Feet
✅ Lift the arch to reduce pronation
✅ Provide firm support through the mid-foot
✅ Realign ankles, knees, and hips
✅ Improve balance and gait
✅ Relieve plantar fasciitis symptoms (more on that soon!)
If you work on your feet all day or walk a lot, flat feet without support is like driving with misaligned wheels. It wears you out fast.
How They Help High Arches
✅ Cushion the heel and ball of foot
✅ Distribute weight more evenly
✅ Prevent stress fractures and shin splints
✅ Improve comfort in stiff or hard shoes
✅ Add a soft landing with every step
High arches often need more cushioning, not just support—our orthopedic gel insoles are designed for both.
Plantar Fasciitis Relief Starts With Insoles
One of the most common foot issues in the UK is plantar fasciitis—inflammation of the ligament running under your foot.
Orthopedic insoles for plantar fasciitis:
-
Support the arch to reduce strain
-
Cushion the heel to absorb shock
-
Relieve the stabbing pain in the morning
Thousands of customers have said that just one week with the right insole changed everything.
Do You Need Custom Orthopedic Insoles?
Here’s the truth:
Custom-made orthotics are great—but they’re expensive (£200+), take time to create, and aren’t always necessary.
Our premium gel insoles provide:
-
Targeted arch support
-
Heel and forefoot padding
-
One-size-trimmable design
-
Affordable price point
They work well for 90% of people without needing a podiatrist appointment.
How to Tell Which Arch Type You Have
Try the wet test:
-
Wet the bottom of your foot.
-
Step on a piece of cardboard or dark tile.
-
Check the print:
-
Full footprint = Flat feet
-
C-curve = Normal arch
-
Thin mid-foot = High arch
-
Now you can choose an insole tailored to your structure.
