Collection: Orthotics

Interpod’s shoe soles are just like expensive custom orthotics, both are designed to provide the minimal support needed to maximize comfort while reducing your aches and pains. Interpod soles are designed to resist excessive forces of pronation (inward rolling) or supination (outward rolling). They decrease strain in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even bones, supporting your body during movement or long periods of standing. Interpod’s custom-like shoe soles, backed by MHRA certification, ensure medical-grade quality for customers. Explore Interpod’s various levels of insole support options and experience the difference of tailored comfort.

Arch support insoles are specially designed insoles that have a raised arch to prevent the foot from flattening and rolling inward (pronation) during activities such as walking or running. To enhance their performance and function, a rearfoot wedge is added into the heel of the orthotic, greatly increasing the arch support needed to reduce pronation. Arch support insoles help reduce foot pain by providing support and reducing strain on the foot’s muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Anyone who experiences foot pain, particularly related to excessive pronation or a flat arch, can benefit from arch support insoles. These insoles are particularly useful for individuals who are on their feet for extended periods, participate in high-impact activities, or have a history of foot injuries. Additionally, people with conditions such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs may find relief by using arch support insoles.

Orthotic insoles can effectively alleviate foot pain caused by various conditions, including plantar fasciitis, bunions, arch pain, heel pain, knee pain, and back pain. They work by reducing the strain on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that are commonly overused during physical activities. By resisting pronation, orthotics reduce the lengthening and strain put on the plantar fascia. They also lower the effort needed to supinate the foot, which can help prevent arch and foot pain. Additionally, the orthotic material itself plays a role in reducing foot pain. Orthotics made from firm material need to flex, while insoles made from soft cushion material need to compress, effectively absorbing the impact of each step.

Orthotics are a helpful solution for pain resulting from overactivity or doing too much too soon. If you’re experiencing aches and pains in your feet, legs, hips, or low back not related to a known illness, the pain is most likely biomechanically induced. However, before trying orthotics, ensure that you’re using the right footwear for your activity. Wearing appropriate footwear can sometimes alleviate your discomfort. Using orthotics placed in the correct footwear can reduce the need for rest, stretching, or other exercises necessary to prevent injury and pain.

Interpod’s orthotic insoles are unique and effective due to their specific design features, usually only found in expensive custom-made orthotics prescribed by podiatrists. Interpod’s orthotics are supported by independent unpaid research from universities in Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US, highlighting their ability to reduce pain and injury. Interpod’s orthotics are also made from the highest quality materials, making them slim, lightweight, and comfortable. Interpod products are designed and owned by Australian sport podiatrists.
