Orthopedic insoles for longitudinal and transverse arch

Orthopedic insoles for longitudinal and transverse arch belong to the Insoles category and are intended for additional foot support, better pressure distribution and improved comfort during walking, standing or everyday shoe wear. The longitudinal and transverse foot arches play an important role in stability, cushioning and better support during movement.

This category includes shoe insoles and footwear accessories that may contribute to more comfortable walking, a fresher feeling and reduced discomfort during shoe wear. The choice of insole depends on footwear type, foot shape, the area where pressure appears and whether support is needed for the longitudinal arch, transverse arch or the whole foot.

In cases of pronounced pain, fallen arches, foot deformities, walking problems, heel, knee, hip or back pain, advice from an orthopedist, physiatrist, podiatrist or another professional is recommended. Insoles may help with comfort, but they do not replace examination when a long-lasting or pronounced concern is present.

Pharmacist’s advice

Choose insoles according to foot size, footwear type and the specific discomfort you feel. If an insole creates additional pressure, blisters, pain or a feeling of instability, check whether it fits the shoe and the foot properly. For pain in the feet, heels, knees, hips or back, as well as pronounced fallen arches, foot deformity or walking problems, it is best to seek advice from an orthopedist, physiatrist or podiatrist. People with diabetes, poor circulation or reduced sensation in the feet should choose insoles and footwear with special care. Ljubica Barbulović, Master of Pharmacy
