Abstract

A shoe insert for placement on an inside surface of a shoe comprising in combination:
   a shoe insole (110) formed of an organic material with memory selected from synthetic organic resins and leather defining a deformable sheet of material being shaped to fit over the inside surface of a shoe, said sheet having memory to retain a deformed shape and said sheet having an upper surface and a bottom surface; and
   a layer of first fastening material (102) selected from loop fabric or hook fabric attached to substantially the entire bottom surface of said sheet and a plurality of cushion pad elements (101), each containing a layer of resilient compressible, cushioning material (106) and each having a top surface including a layer of second fastening material (104) releasably engageable with said first fastening material selected from loop fabric or hook fabric, said elements being attached to said layer of first fastening material whereby when the insert is placed on the inside surface of a shoe, said elements compress under the weight of the user, the sheet deforms in the spaces between the elements and around the elements to form a deformed shape and said sheet retains said deformed shape when the force from the user's weight is removed to selectively modify the elevation or pitch of said insert relative to said inside surface of said shoe.
