Insoles: The Royal Secret to comfortable shoes

Your feet are one of your most important assest.

That you started wear shoes to protect them, is a norm in your daily life. But you didn't buy those shoes just to protect your feet, they also have to
really look good and feel comfortable.

That said, would you like to always feel protected and comfortable in any pair shoes you wear or buy?

There is a little known fact about all the shoes we wear. Did you know that without the Insole of a shoe, you wouldn't be able to walk with them? Standing would be a painfully experience, talk less of walking.

Insoles are those soft pads that are in every pair of shoes to protect your feet from the outsole of a shoe. The pads tend to have a rubbery texture and usually branded with the name of the producer of the shoe.

Theses factory fitted pads, work great for protecting your feet, but they don't hold up against the strains of a mobile day at the office. The constantly move around, shuffling reports and file up and down the stair, talk more of taking long walks to the favourite lunch spot. Thus anytime you sit, the shoes
come off.

But not to worry, there is a secret to being able to do the same things you do, but without the accompanying arches and pains. Plus you will even get to keep your favourite shoes on throughout the day.

Don't worry, it's an open secret and everyone is using them, even Her Royal Highness Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge. Most of us will know her as Prince Williams wife, the Former Kate Middleton, who doesn't leave home with them.

As there are various types of shoes, so also there are types of insoles. Mainly they are just two types.

One for support and one for comfort

Support insoles
are for people, who feel the effects that comes with walking or standing on hard surface. When you find that your shoes wear away more on one side

For example the heel could be completely worn away while the front looks as good as new, or the outside of your feet has worn at an angle. This shows how you walk on your heels or a certain part of your feet to even out/shift the weight. While you might not notice you are doing this it is still effecting your bones and joints higher up. Support Insoles will help your feet to start repairing themselves.

Comfort insoles
like the types our Royal Highness of Cambridge uses come in gel or foam materials that emphasize cushioning rather than distribution of pressure. Comfort insoles feature more shock absorption technology, which minimizes the impact upon your feet with every step you take.

It doesn't matter how long you stand or how far you walk, jump or run. All the impact, shock and torque is absorbed by the insole. Leaving you more energetic and fresh through your whole day

The sweet thing about them is not only the comfort the provide but their cost.
