<p> The D3D Orthotic Insole is tailored to the dynamic pressure measurement calculations from footscan technologies, & is therefore specified by the dynamic functioning of the foot. </p><p> This has been a revolution in orthotic prescription. Suitable for Men & Womens shoes.</p><p><strong> Benefits of Performance Insole:</strong><br/> The foot is a fantastic auto-support mechanism for your body. When you over pronate or have low arches, the system fails. This failure leads to a misalignment of your body resulting in pain in almost any part of you. Performance insoles from RSscan move your foot back to its natural position improving posture relieving many chronic complaints keeping your feet comfortable every step of the day. </p><p> Orthotics have been scientifically proven to reduce the risk of & rehabilitate injuries such as; heel pain, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, calf strain, knee damage & postural back pain. Performance orthotics can help relieve foot, heel, ankle, knee, hip & back pain & reduce fatigue by realigning the body.</p><p><strong> What happens to the foot?</strong><br/> As your arch flattens from excessive pronation your heel position changes, putting increased pressure on the inside of your heel. As a result;<br/>1. Flat or excessively pronated feet are left unstable with no secure platform for propulsion & no shock absorption.<br/>2. Flat feet also causes the big toe not to bend properly resulting in pain both at the big toe joint & plantar fascia leading to painful heels, arches & hammer toe deformities.<br/>3. Flat feet also twist the lower leg inward altering the kneecap position & damaging the leg muscles & knee cartilage, causing pain on the inner edge or front of the knee.</p><p><strong> Why is performance insole so good?</strong><br/> While most shoe inserts are designed around a theoretical natural position the performance orthotic is a replacement insole uniquely designed, using Olympic athletes, to support the dynamic running & walking foot.</p><p> Your performance orthotic is contoured to cradle the heel, while its ergonomically designed arch provides superior support & comfort allowing your foot to absorb the shock of walking & running by restoring the natural balance of your foot function.</p><p><strong> Insole Options</strong><br/><strong>BLUE</strong> one lighter insole providing high level shock absorption, specifically designed to fit any job, form normal walking to high level athletics. Suitable for people of up to <strong>79kg</strong> or needing superior cushioning.</p><p><strong>RED</strong> one specifically produced for high impact sports such as basketball & for people over <strong>80kg</strong>, maintaining your foot structure under greater pressure.</p><p> Recommended for every day & sports shoe, including outdoor footwear, Performance orthotics are designed to withstand increased & prolonged repetitive forces.</p><p> The D3D functional design
Includes::<br/>1. A deep heel cup to stabilise movements at the heel & ankle<br/>2. A unique lift to stabilise the end of heel stance & reduce the degree of pronatory moment as the foot enters mid-stance.<br/>3. Ergonomically designed arch support specific to the moving foot, lifting & supporting both the entire arch profile.<br/>4. Increased mid-foot support along the length of the inside & outside of the foot.<br/>5. A "met' dome" to improve the integrity of the transverse metatarsal arch in the forefoot, reducing peak pressures & friction under the ball of the foot. </p><p> Two distinct types of Performance orthotic exist;</p><p>a) Blue Performance (for sports applications) Medium density EVA, this orthotic weighs 50grams.<br/>b) Red Performance (for people with a higher body mass or higher impact sports) Medium / High density EVA, this orthotic weighs 60grams</p><p> Both types come in sizes 3 -12 & three different arch heights; please read the information below to ensure you obtain the correct insole.</p><p>1. F (low arch height) <br/>2. FN (low
- normal arch height with added arch support)<br/>3. N (for high arch) to accommodate a variety of foot types.</p><p> Price shown if for a pair of D3D Insoles<br/><strong> Foot Arch Height</strong><br/> To determine your foot arch height, simply read the information below & also look at the image above which will show you how to determine the type of insole your require.</p><p><strong> Flat Arch:</strong> If you find it difficult to slide a finger under the middle of your foot & if your arch on your right / left foot seems to be touching the ground in the mid-foot, your foot type is FLAT & you require the 'F' type</p><p><strong> Normal Arch:</strong> If you find you can slide a finger under the middle of your foot & if you can see a small gap between the ground & foot, your foot type is FLAT/NORMAL & you require the 'FN' type.</p><p><strong> High Arch:</strong> If you can with ease put a finger under the middle of your foot & if you can see a curve on your right / left foot, your foot type is HIGH & you require the 'N' type.</p>
