The Best Insoles<\/h1>\n

The other day, my friend Sarah and I were talking about how our shoes no longer feel as comfortable. We agreed that when we were younger, any shoe would do, but now our feet are getting more achy with age. Or maybe we just value comfort more? I think it’s probably a mix of both.<\/p>\n

If you are like me and have experienced foot discomfort or pain, the solution is simpler than you think – shoe insoles!<\/em> I was cynical that shoe insoles would make a difference, but give them a try. Once I found the right ones for me, I also noticed that other areas of my body felt better. Win-win.<\/p>\n

Do you have Low, Neutral or High Arches?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before I started researching the best shoe insoles, I wanted to know how flat (or high) my arches were. Like my blood type, arch support is something I should probably know, but I don’t. I remember seeing a foot arch test on TV once involving water and a sheet a paper. To my surprise, it is actually a proper way of measuring your foot arch.<\/p>\n

Take the 10-Second Foot Arch Test:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Lay a brown paper bag or sheet of colored paper on the ground<\/li>\n
  2. Wet the bottom of your foot (I lowered my foot into a large Tupperware filled with water)<\/li>\n
  3. Press your foot\u00a0completely onto the paper to make a footprint.<\/li>\n
  4. When you raise your foot, you should be able to tell if you have neutral arches, flat arches (flat feet), or high arches.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What do you see? Your foot should fall somewhere along these illustrations:<\/em><\/h4>\n

    Low Arch<\/strong>\u00a0(flat feet) – tends to add stress to feet and knees<\/h4>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Neutral Arch<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b>(“normal” foot) – aches are focused mostly to the feet<\/h4>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    High Arch<\/strong> – tends to add stress to ankles, knees, hips and lower back.<\/h4>\n
