Wear double insoles when wearing shoes in summer
On July 25th, flat-heeled, slope-heeled, and high-heeled shoes are being given a second life through refurbishment, yet the insole is often overlooked by modern wearers. In reality, insoles serve more than just a functional purpose—they keep your feet dry, clean, and comfortable, while also reducing foot fatigue from long hours on your feet. They can even help prevent various foot ailments. However, many people only think about insoles when their feet sweat or when they’re wearing uncomfortable shoes.
In the latest issue of *True Simple*, an American magazine, several insole tips were shared. Lisa Scoony, a podiatrist based in Chicago, explained that prolonged use of high heels can cause discomfort in the shins and feet. To ease this, a forefoot pad can be placed at the front of the shoe to relieve pressure and make high heels more wearable.
Flat-heeled shoes may lack proper arch support, which can lead to knee pain over time. Therefore, it’s important to choose insoles that provide adequate arch support, such as a heel cup or a cushioned insole.
For heels under 5 cm, extra cushioning might not be necessary, but for higher heels, full insoles with added padding are recommended. Wearing hard-soled shoes is like walking on a board—uncomfortable and unstable. A thick, soft insole can help reduce the impact and improve comfort.
Many sandals and trendy women’s shoes have thin ankle straps that can rub against the skin. Using a new type of insole inside the strap can prevent irritation and make the shoe feel more comfortable.
Experts also advise that even those with healthy feet should consider using double insoles for added comfort and shock absorption. If your feet tend to sweat, adding an absorbent insole can help prevent fungal infections. This is especially important for middle-aged and elderly individuals, as aging can lead to foot arch collapse and increase the risk of conditions like arthritis and tendonitis. Proper insoles can help prevent these issues—but it’s crucial to get custom-fitted ones, as generic insoles may do more harm than good.
