Barefoot Science Foot-Strengthening Insoles – Therapeutic, Full Length, Medium (Men 8-9.5 / Women 10-11.5)

Description

Numerous studies conducted throughout the world indicate that footwear actually causes the majority of our foot, leg, and back problems. In fact, in countries where shoes are not worn, only 3% of these problems occur compared to shoe-wearing populations. Studies also indicate that children's feet are negatively affected by conventional footwear by the age of six. The restrictive environments created by conventional footwear designs prohibit optimal biomechanical function of the foot, which leads to a weaker structure, associated discomfort, and a host of painful symptoms. Many footwear companies promote designs with various supportive features in an attempt to improve comfort and performance. Unfortunately, this creates a never-ending cycle where the foot becomes progressively weaker and more dependent on the added support. Conventional insoles and shoe inserts work in much the same manner as supportive footwear; they provide additional cushioning, support, or bracing for the foot, contributing to a weaker structure. The Barefoot Science Arch Activation Foot Strengthening System is not an instant fix but, with consistent use, works like an exercise program to quickly and safely restore healthy foot function, optimizing comfort and performance.
