The Functions Of Custom Footbeds

By Eliza Mendoza


Custom Footbeds are generally clothing in texture and feel. The material used to make clothes is still the same one that makes them. The material could be textile, velvet and cotton. The type of material utilized determines the comfort of the insole. More comfortable insoles are more expensive than less ones. These in fits have been in existence for a long time. However, they have been improved over the years.

Because of their demands, many companies have ventured into their production. The production process is quite easy. The whole exercise is conducted in a step wise manner. The first activity is where the fabrics used to make them are brought together. The materials are purchased from fabric making companies.

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 next step is the cutting process. The design of the insole is coded into the program intended to run the whole process. By use of sharp blades, the specialized machines cut the textile into the shape for example a sigmoid shape. The cutting exercise is fast. The cutting is done to many fabric pieces.

Afterwards, the pieces of materials are then stacked together. The pile differs in height from one insole to another. The height is determined by the purpose intended by the insole. Insoles intended for rigid activities require a thicker sole. The thick sole will be achieved by stacking more material together.

The machines then knit through the edges of a pile to ensure that they are uniform all through. The insoles are then packaged and ready for the markets. The goods could be sold to the domestic and international markets. These insoles have particular functions to their bearers. Thick ones act as shock absorbers for the feet. They generally help to reduce injury to the foot sole especially in the heel areas.

The insole helps to spread the weight of feet evenly. This ensures an easy transition from one phase to another during walking. It ensures the muscles contract and relaxes without much effort. This is in a bid to reduce any form of strain. The foot is aligned accordingly to maintain the various arches. It ensures that the various ankle ligaments are not over stretched. This allows a static stability.

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.
