I have some Springbak insole questions...?

If I take them off after a month would I still have the same vertical increase. If my shoes aren't tight do they still work? Does it make me jump 3 inches or so higher instantly? Does it even work? Thanks.

I have some Springbak insole questions...?
They work well, but they are not a training device so the second you stop using them you'll use the few inches of vertical that you gained. By the way the stronger you are and the higher you jump the better they will work. Vertical jump training workout routines are the only way to get lasting results. Want to jump 18 inches higher by September?

What is the best insole for your shoes when you have plantar fascitis?

The question you should be asking is what shoe is necessary to fit orthoses (if other treatments have been done)?





If you have tried calf stretches, Ice Rx, NSAIDs, Rest, Ultrasound treatment, avoided barefooted walking, and religiously worn a shoe with a good heel height from morn til night, and have been diagnosed with pathological mechanical foot dysfunction, then you should try orthoses BUT......the shoes have to have a stiff heel counter, stiff midsole and a good midfoot fastening, otherwise your orthoses will be a pure waste of money!

What is the best insole for your shoes when you have plantar fascitis?
The best insoles to get is to actually go and get fitted for a pair of orthotics.


Because they actually take your feet and make the orthotics for it, they will be the best thing for your condition. Any store bought ones won't give you the support you're going to need.





Unfortunatly they are pricey.... but they last for a long time and you can move them between most or all of your shoes.





I'm not sure where you are from so I can't tell you where to go. Talk to your Dr. he may be able to refer you to a good place to get them made.


Around here we have a company called BioPed which is amazing.








Good Luck!!
Reply:ask your doctor to refer you to a podiadrist, who will give you the correct insoles, and some exercises to do.





If those things don't help, ask your doctor about cortisone injections (They worked for me)
Reply:you can buy heel supports from the chemist, they are foam and washable, I know how you feel, had it for 5 months
Reply:After two years I am going to collect my insoles on Friday and I cannot wait. I had the cast taken last Wednesday of my feet, so having worn temporary insoles this is the real deal. I went to a Physiotherapist as I could not get to see a Podiatrist, but the PT referred me to the technical orthopedic rehab unit and Friday is good feet day. I have tried all the insoles available over the counter, they did zero. The temporary insoles, well I wore out the first ones, so had a second pair made and now I get the real deal. Two years and yes at times I was wondering if I would always be left wearing temporary insoles, was worth the wait, because my feet were too bad for the OTC ones that I purchased. Best of Luck

What is the best insole and water system for running a marathon?

Currently training for a marathon. I ran a half marathon last year, and feel like I could have performed better if my feet didn't hurt around mile 8.





When I checked my feet after the half marathon, skin was rubbed off around the ball of the foot, etc. Any suggestions to take care of the rubbing as well?

It isn't so much about the insole as it is a well fitting show, good socks, and proper foot care.





It sounds like the shoes and socks you were probably weren't the best for you. Go to a dedicated running store and get them to help you pick out a good pair of shoes. You don't have to buy the most expensive ones, there are plenty of good shoes in the $50-80 range.





Get good socks. I personally like Pearl Izumi and Smartwool. Buy several pairs from different manufacturers and see which work the best for you.





Take care of those feet. Trim your nails, remove thick calluses, keep them clean and dry as possible before and during a race.





Finally, lube your feet. Slather it on, it really helps! There are many products for this ranging from Vaseline, Bag Balm (my favorite), to fancy stuff like Hydropel.





As for water systems, most road marathons have water stops every couple miles, you generally shouldn't need to carry anything. If you want to carry your own beverage that they don't serve, experiment with handheld water bottles, bladders, and what not. On trail runs I'll carry a hydration pack with a 70 or 100 oz bladder, depending on how long I plan to be out.

What,s the best insole for work sneakers on concreate floors?

start with the best shoe you can find. this is a great investment and may cost $100 or more. a good shoe store will have insoles available if you need them. visit a chiropractor regulary for good back alignment and take up yoga or swimming. if you stand in one place for long periods, consider asking for a rubberized mat for ergonomics.

How come the insole in my left shoe has complete disintegrated, but my right shoe one is OK?

I put them both in at the same time.

How come the insole in my left shoe has complete disintegrated, but my right shoe one is OK?
could b u walk heavier on the 1 foot however could also be a bacterial problem on that foot - put good quality, deodorising cat litter (yes u read that right) in an old pair of socks, with no holes in, tie the ends off %26amp; place them in ur shoes overnight. This will help to kill off any nasties lurking in them. Obviously good foot hygeine is also essential.
Reply:Have you got a one legged flatmate who is borrowing your shoe on the sly????
Reply:You obviously walk heavier on your left foot.
Reply:It is the agami insole scoffer...a rare breed....bit of a leftie..
Reply:You play hopscotch too often when you wear them, obviously!

Is there any insole suitable for diabatic patients so as to conform to foot their form?
I've been Diabetic for 34yrs and now also have a foot condition, Charco's foot and with the involvement and close watch of these three departments,diabetic, podiatrist and othotic, I now have a ankle boot type shoe I have to wear with soft insoles, not shaped but very comfortable. The boots are soft and high above the instep so that the toes do not have any irritation and wide enouph for the broad part of the mishaped foot. So quite happy with the shoe/boot. One gets a choice of colour and style from their catalogues which the orthotic clinic shows you when you are there for your appointments. Good luck.

I have the nike mary jane shoes with the pink insole. since it's been so hot outside (and no socks are to be worn with these shoes) the insoles have become black. Its very noticable as the regular color of the insole is pink. the insoles are easy to take out so i was wondering what is the best way to clean the insoles???

I would spray them heavily with Shout Advance (this stuff is awesome got grease out of a shirt of mine that had been washed and dried several times) let it sit for a week spraying several times then toss them in the washer.
