The New Spenco Polysorb Earthbound Insoles provide the ultimate in cushioning and arch support for active people.

One customer wrote, “They’re supportive, and my feet felt better at the end of a long day than in the insoles that came with my boots. I have used the Spenco Earthbound Insoles for a little over a month mostly hiking and walking, and I forget they’re there–a good thing in an insole. Now my feet do not hurt and my bad ankle is less wobbly–these insoles are fantastic.”

Also added in is a forefoot crash pad designed to add shock absorption under the ball of foot that helps beat soreness from foot strike and push off. The Insole is topped with a friction resistant antimicrobial topcloth, made with 40 percent recycled polyester fabric; it is just perfect -not too slippery–not too sticky.

Often times, the root of heel pain in children can be attributed to Sever’s disease. This desease occurs in children when the growing part of the heel, called the growth plate, is injured. The foot is one of the first body parts to grow to full size, this usually occurs in early puberty. During this growing period, bones often grow faster than muscles and tendons which results in tight muscles and tendons. Because the heel area is less flexible, these tight muscles and tendons become painful. During weight-bearing activity (activity performed while standing), the tight heel tendons may put too much pressure at the back of the heel (where the Achilles tendon attaches). This could injure the heel and cause pain. (more…)

Morton’s neuroma occurs in a nerve in the foot, often between the third and fourth toes. The condition involves a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to the toes. A neuroma is caused by repeated friction and pressure on the nerve, which in turn causes the nerve to scar and become thicker, the result is numbness, tingling, or burning between the toes. Pain or burning also may shoot backwards up the foot into the leg. Ordinarily, there are no outward signs of this condition. (more…)

This is a common foot disorder that can affect the bones and joints at the ball of the foot. Metatarsalgia is often located under the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsal heads, or more isolated at the first metatarsal head – near the big toe.

The foot is a precision piece of machinery which is fundamental for our movement and daily activities. On average, we walk over 115,000 miles during our lifetime. Feet are living shock absorbers. Consider when walking, each step puts up to 1.5 – 2 times your body weight on your feet. Running exerts even more, 3 – 3.5 times your body weight on the feet. With this relentless pounding, there is no wonder that 75 – 80% of the adult population have some form of foot problem. (more…)
