Definitions

  • shoe insoles can assist the foot in performing these functions and protect the foot from injury.
  • the load on the foot at heel strike is typically about one and a half times a person's body weight when a person walks.
  • loads on the foot can exceed three times the body weight.
  • the many bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the foot function to absorb and dissipate the forces of impact, carry the weight of the body and other loads, and provide forces for propulsion.
  • FIG. 1 Another type of over-the-counter insole emphasizes control.
  • such insoles are made to be relatively stiff and rigid so as to control the bending and twisting of the foot by limiting foot motion.
  • the rigid structure is good at controlling motion, but is not very forgiving.
  • the load on the foot tends to change abruptly and increases the load on the structures of the foot.
  • biological tissues such as tendons and ligaments are sensitive to the rate at which they are loaded, the abrupt change in load causes injury or damage to the foot, ankle or leg.
  • the current invention is an insole that provides a balanced approach to improving longitudinal arch support, prevention of pronation and prevention of supination by incorporation of the combination of the following elements: (1) a base having a lateral midfoot/heel pad indentation area, a stability cradle indentation area, and a forefoot pad indentation area, (2) an upper cooling top cloth, (3) a multi-faceted stability cradle with a plurality of traversely oriented stability ribs, (4) an elongated lateral midfoot/heel pad extending from the lateral midfoot area into the heel area, (5) a supplemental heel pad overlaying a portion of the elongated heel pad in the heel area; (6) a forefoot pad positioned in the forefoot indentation area, (7) multi-faceted groove patterns on the bottom surface of the stability cradle; and, (8) honeycomb groove patterns on the bottom surface of the lateral midfoot/heel pad, the forefoot pad and the supplemental heel pad
  • the bottom surface of base 302 defines a forefoot pad indentation area 307 in the forefoot area that correlates to the metatarsal area and near the phalanges of the foot located over the toe pad 340 of the insole 300, and a stability cradle indentation area 305 along the midfoot and heel areas.
  • the bottom surface of base 302 also defines one or more ribs or protrusions 332 that extend outwardly along the arch area.
  • the ribs 332 are preferably longer around the cuneiforms and gradually shorter distally and proximally from the cuneiforms creating a parabolic-like overall shape.
  • Forefoot pad 308 is located under this part of the foot.
  • forefoot pad 308 is formed of a relatively resilient material so that energy put into compressing forefoot pad 308 is returned to help propel the foot at toe off.
  • Forefoot pad 308 is preferably made from a Thermoplastic Rubber (“TPR”) or Polyurethane (“PU”).
  • the hardness of the TPR or PU used in the forefoot pad 308 is preferably about 30 Asker C ⁇ 3.
  • the width of the forefoot pad from the medial to lateral side is about 85 to 95 mm.
  • the height is about 100 to 110 mm.
  • the depth is about 0.95 to 1.50 mm.
  • the indentation areas can also be lined with a cloth having a base surface and a pad surface, or secured to said base 302 along said base surface and said pad along said pad surface. Alternatively, a cloth is secured to pad and then the composite structure secured to the indentation area.
  • the bottom surface of base 302 defines a forefoot pad indentation area 307 in the forefoot area and a stability cradle indentation area 305 along the midfoot and heel areas.
  • the bottom surface of base 302 also defines one or more ribs or protrusions 332 that extend outwardly along the arch area.
  • the ribs 332 are preferably longer around the cuneiforms and gradually shorter distally and proximally from the cuneiforms creating a parabolic-like overall shape.
  • the rib-shaped openings 331 allow said ribs 332 of base 302 to extend therethrough.
  • Base 302 has a raised edge that wraps around the heel and extends partially along the sides of the foot such that the insole has a heel cup, which conforms to the natural shape of the foot.
  • the height of the raised edge is generally higher and thicker on the medial side of the insole and is lower and thinner on the lateral side of the insole.
  • the stability cradle indentation area 305 is located in the medial midfoot area and extends around the heel area of the bottom surface of base 302.
  • the stability cradle indentation area 305 extends from a medial edge approximate the medial border to a lateral edge approximate the lateral border of the base and from a distal edge slightly proximal of the forefoot pad indentation area 307 to a proximal edge approximate the heel end of the base.
  • a medial portion of the distal edge is shaped to accommodate downward motion of the 1st metatarsal during toe off.
  • Stability cradle 306 is shaped essentially the same as stability cradle indentation area 305 and has a base facing surface and a shoe facing surface. The base facing surface is secured to said stability cradle indentation area 305.
  • Stability cradle 306 has walls that wrap up the sides and surround the rear of base 302 to provide support for the foot.
  • stability cradle 306 ranges from approximately 0.5 mm to 3 mm thick and the walls taper from approximately 3 mm to about 0.5 mm.
  • the sides of stability cradle 306 are preferably higher on the medial side of the foot because of the higher loading.
  • the bottom surface of base 302 defines a stability cradle indentation area 305 along the midfoot and heel areas.
  • the bottom surface of base 302 also define one or more ribs or protrusions 332 that extend outwardly along the arch area.
  • the stability cradle 306 preferably defines one or more rib-shaped openings 331.
  • the rib-shaped openings 331 allow said ribs 332 of base 302 to extend therethrough.
  • base 302 is molded so that the ribs 332 project into rib-shaped openings 331 so that the ribs 332 are approximately flush with the outer surface of stability cradle 306 and mechanically lock stability cradle 306 and base 302 together.
  • the ribs 332 are also able to bulge through rib-shaped openings 331 when base 302 is compressed (e.g., while walking or running) to provide additional cushioning and support to the arch of the foot.
  • stability cradle 306 defines one or more protruding ribs instead of openings.
  • the protruding ribs extend outwardly along the arch area.
  • the protruding ribs are longer around the cuneiforms and gradually shorter distally and proximally from the cuneiforms creating a parabolic-like overall shape.
  • the protruding ribs extend outward approximately 0.50 mm.
  • the various components of an insole which are secured to base 302 in the indentation areas defined by base 302 on the bottom surface are permanently affixed to base 302 using an appropriate means such as an adhesive.
  • the components are secured during the molding process using techniques known in the art of molding insoles.
  • An improved insole 300 has been disclosed. It will be readily apparent that the illustrative embodiments of an insole thus disclosed may be useful in cushioning the foot and controlling pronation during activities such as hiking, backpacking, and the like.
