The Uses Of Custom Footbeds

By Eliza Mendoza


Custom Footbeds are pieces of clothing that are put on the upper part of the sole. This upper part is where the feet rest. The making of these dates back to history when early people placed pieces of rag on the soles. They did these to improve the comfort of the shoes. Modern man has replaced these rags with other smaller and smarter designs of cloths.

These insoles have been produced by various companies. Other companies specify in producing a particular insole for a particular activity whereas others produce a variety. They vary in colors and the fabric making it. The colors could be white, red, yellow or even pink. The fabric used to make them includes cotton, velvet, leather or even nylon. The element used to make it goes a long way to determine the price of a particular insole.

The design is then created by a team of experts. The design includes the shape, color and size of an insole. The size of an insole depends on the size of the shoe intended to be fit into. The shape of the color could be white, green or even black. The type of color should match with the color of a given shoe. The material is simply died to the particular required color.

The shape is put into practical use by of a cardboard. The cardboard is placed on to the material and a cutting is made. The cutting is done by use of a sharp blade or knife.The process is repeated to many materials. The materials are then stacked together and glued together. Dyeing is done to achieve a particular color. The final product is a domestic insole.

Thereafter, cloths of exactly the same specifications are stacked together to form a pile. The height of the pile is dependent on the program fed to the machines conducting the operation. Between each cloth that is to be stacked onto the next, some glue is applied. The glue is to ensure that the components of the pile are closely adherent to each other.

Afterwards, the cut pieces are stacked together. The stacking is still done by machines. The piling determines the thicknesses of the insole.Thicker insoles are preferred for vigorous activities such as jumping and running. The piled elements are then stuck by glue.This is to ensure that they form a common unit. Knitting then follows. The knitting is done all round the edges to ensure that the various elements are fixed together. Commercially made insoles are of better quality than domestically made.

The insoles have several benefits. They help to improve the stability of the foot by reducing the strain on the ankle tendons and stability ligaments. This results to maintenance of that arch system of feet. The strength of feet is increased. It supports the foot structure and promotes a comfortable foot posture. The foot pad acts as a shock absorber.It works to reduce the impacts placed on the feet during various activities.

Custom Footbeds are incorporated in most modern shoe wear. It is even more crucial for athletes such as runners and footballers. This is because they involve themselves in rigid exercises. Companies that have engaged in this trade have accumulated immense profits owing to the high demands. These companies most times are still the same ones that produce shoe wears. More manufacturers are making these commodities in the recent world.
