Description

TITLE: INSOLE FOR ORTHOPEDIC SHOES

Currently, orthopedic footwear according to the known Part has a removable element but without any possibility of positioning inserts.

For this reason, the insole of the known art in the front (metatarsal area) and in the back (heel area) has considerable rigidity and hardness. The s without inserts in the front increases the walking difficulty.

In orthopedic footwear according to the known Part, the insole is removable but without the possibility of applying inserts. The removable insole of the invention was instead created and studied specifically to allow the orthopedic technician to intervene by modifying the affected areas of plantar reflexology and to apply the inserts in the cavities specially created with the most suitable material to solve the problems encountered in the patient. The inserts will be applied in the front (metatarsal area) and in the back (heel area), they can be of any shape and of any material. The position of the front cavity exactly coincides with the flex points of the outer sole.

With this invention, the insole helps to absorb micro-shocks by increasing the comfort of the foot during walking

The newfound or; ; cast of the present patent application is represented in table n.-where:

M) insert in the lower front part (Metatarsal area)

N) insert in the lower back (heel area)

The removable insole inserted inside the external sole supporting the ground has two or more cavities where it is possible to place two or more cavity inserts (see table Ί point M and \), which determine the following benefits in the user's walk:

The cavity shown in point M (table \) was positioned in the forefoot / metatarsal area, this cavity is interposed between the upper part of the insole and the upper part of the sole, and has a depth of about 5-7 mm. The position of the front cavity of the removable insole coincides exactly with the bending points of the external sole resting on the ground

The cavity shown in point H (table 1) has been positioned in the heel area, this cavity is interposed between the upper part of the insole and the upper part of the sole, and has a depth of about 5-7 mm.

These front and rear cavities of the removable insole can contain inside inserts of gel-type material or two-layer material of different density (rigid and / or soft type) this differentiation and different use of material increases the comfort of the orthopedic shoe and it can help absorb micro-shocks during walking to give optimal comfort. In this way a shock absorption functionality is achieved.

Both these M and N inserts of the removable insole contribute to a better weight distribution throughout the sole of the foot and to an optimal comfort of the invented orthopedic shoe. They also allow a foot massage, thanks to the inserted material, both in the front and back area and guarantee a beneficial and relaxing effect during walking; avoiding any type of trauma both to the specific foot and to the lower and upper limbs.

The removable insole of the invention is interposed with a cleaning insole between the user's foot and the removable insole itself, which is inserted inside the sole of the invention. The insole can be of any material.
