How pedag® Insoles are Different: The Complete Foot Support

When it comes to foot health, supporting the entire foot and all its bones is important. Whether you’re on your feet all day, suffer from foot pain, or simply want to enhance your everyday foot comfort, the right insole can make all the difference. Insoles of pedag® brand are designed to provide complete foot support, addressing three essential areas of foot structure: the longitudinal arch, the metatarsal arch, and the heel bone. Let’s explore how each of these elements works together to create a foundation for superior comfort and support.

Longitudinal Arch Support: Stability and Alignment

The longitudinal arch runs along the length of your foot, from the heel to the ball. It is most visible on the inside of your foot. When your arch lacks support, it can lead to overpronation (foot rolling inward) or plantar fasciitis, both of which can cause discomfort, fatigue, and long-term foot issues, including misalignment of the knees, hips, and ankles.

How pedag® Helps

Insoles of pedag® brand feature a semi-rigid arch support that maintains proper alignment and reduces strain on the plantar ligament, which connects the heel bone with the metatarsals. This support helps prevent common issues such as plantar fasciitis and excessive foot fatigue.
The semi-rigid arch support found in the Viva line of insoles, Holiday, and Magic Step resembles the plantar fascia ligament by being flexible and springy, yet firm enough to support the body.

Metatarsal Arch Support: Forefoot Health

One of the key features of pedag® brand is the metatarsal arch support. The metatarsal arch is located just behind the ball of the foot. A lack of proper support can lead to discomfort, burning sensations, and even painful conditions like splayfoot, metatarsalgia, or Morton’s neuroma.

How pedag® Helps:

A correctly placed pad lifts and supports the metatarsal arch back into its proper anatomical shape.
This reduces strain on the metatarsal bones, preventing pain and discomfort caused by prolonged standing or walking.

Heel Cushion: Shock Absorption

Your heels bear the first impact with every step you take; your heel hits the ground first Without proper cushioning, this repetitive shock can lead to discomfort, heel pain, and conditions such as plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendon strain.

How pedag® Helps:

Our insoles include a soft, shock-absorbing heel cushion that reduces impact and relieves stress on the joints. The cushioning helps protect the feet during prolonged walking or standing, making daily activities more comfortable.
The footbed has a hollow space for the heel bone to nest, enhancing overall comfort, especially for those with heel pain or sensitivity.
