Interpod Arch Support Insoles for Flat Feet

Orthotic Insoles manufactured with superior shock absorbing materials EVA and Polyurethane. Ideal for flat feet and feet that are overly pronated or supinated feet.

The secret is in its shock-absorbing polyurethane and EVA construction, providing an ultimate combination of immediate comfort and support.

Interpod 0 Degree Foot Arch Support Insoles are expertly designed to provide customised support tailored to your patients’ specific needs. Available in two variants—Low Stiffness and High Stiffness—these orthotics are ideal for addressing varying levels of supination resistance.

When it comes to foot care, the importance of tailored, high-quality orthotics cannot be overstated. For healthcare professionals working in podiatry, physiotherapy, and other related fields, finding the right orthotic solution for your patients is essential to ensuring their comfort, mobility, and overall foot health. Interpod 0 Degree Foot Arch Support Insoles are a versatile and effective solution designed to meet the varied needs of your patients, providing them with the support they need to live more comfortably and actively.

Understanding Supination Resistance and Its Impact on Foot Health

Supination resistance is a critical factor in determining the appropriate orthotic support for a patient. This refers to the foot's resistance to rolling outward, which can influence the type and stiffness of orthotic needed. Patients with high supination resistance often require firmer, more supportive orthotics to maintain proper alignment and function, while those with lower supination resistance may benefit from softer, more flexible options. Understanding this concept is key to selecting the appropriate orthotic solution for your patients.

Tailored Support with Two Stiffness Options

Interpod 0 Degree Foot Arch Support Insoles are available in two distinct stiffness options—Low Stiffness and High Stiffness—allowing you to provide customised support based on your patients' specific supination resistance scores and overall foot health needs.

Low Stiffness for Gentle Support and Flexibility

The Low Stiffness variant of Interpod 0 Degree Foot Arch Support Insoles is designed for patients with a low supination resistance score. This softer option is crafted from a more flexible material, offering a gentle yet effective level of support. It is particularly suitable for individuals with lower arches or those who require a more forgiving orthotic that provides cushioning without excessive rigidity.

Patients who benefit from Low Stiffness orthotics often have feet that are more prone to overpronation, where the foot rolls inward excessively. This can lead to discomfort, fatigue, and a range of foot-related issues if not properly managed. The Low Stiffness orthotic helps to moderate this movement, providing the necessary support to maintain a more neutral foot position while allowing for the natural flexibility and movement of the foot.

The softer material of the Low Stiffness orthotic also enhances comfort, making it an ideal choice for patients who may be new to orthotic use or who require a more cushioned feel. This option can be particularly beneficial for individuals who spend long hours on their feet, as it helps to reduce strain and improve overall foot comfort throughout the day.

High Stiffness for Robust Support and Stability

For patients with a high supination resistance score, the High Stiffness variant of Interpod 0 Degree Foot Arch Support Insoles offers the robust support needed to effectively stabilise the foot. This stiffer option is designed to manage higher arches and provide maximum control, helping to prevent the foot from rolling outward excessively, a condition often associated with underpronation or supination.

High Stiffness orthotics are essential for patients who require more substantial support to maintain proper biomechanical alignment. This variant is particularly effective for individuals who engage in high-impact activities, such as running or other sports, where the foot is subjected to significant forces that could otherwise lead to injury or discomfort. By providing the necessary support to the arches and ensuring proper foot alignment, the High Stiffness orthotic helps to reduce the risk of conditions such as plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, and other common foot injuries.

Despite its firmness, the High Stiffness orthotic is designed to fit comfortably in a wide range of footwear, ensuring that your patients can enjoy the benefits of enhanced foot stability without sacrificing comfort. This makes it a versatile choice for both everyday wear and athletic use.

Design Features and Benefits

Both the Low Stiffness and High Stiffness variants of the Foot Arch Support Insoles share a range of design features that make them an exceptional choice for healthcare professionals seeking effective orthotic solutions for their patients:

• Full Length Coverage: The full-length design ensures that the orthotic provides comprehensive support across the entire foot, from heel to toe. This helps to distribute weight more evenly and reduce pressure on specific areas of the foot, which can be particularly beneficial for patients with foot pain or discomfort.
• Zero Degree Base: The 0° base of the orthotic is designed to provide neutral positioning of the foot, which is essential for maintaining proper alignment and preventing issues related to overpronation or supination. This neutral positioning is particularly important for patients who require corrective support to improve their foot function and overall biomechanics.
• Comfortable Fit: The Foot Arch Support Insoles are crafted to fit comfortably in a wide variety of footwear, making them a practical choice for everyday use. Whether your patients are wearing them in athletic shoes, work boots, or casual footwear, they can enjoy the benefits of customised support without compromising on comfort.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality materials, these orthotics are designed to withstand the demands of daily use. The durability of Interpod 0 Degree Foot Arch Support Insoles ensures that your patients can rely on them for long-term support, making them a cost-effective solution for managing foot health over time.
• Customisable: The orthotics can be easily trimmed to fit different shoe sizes, ensuring a precise fit for each patient. This customisability enhances the effectiveness of the orthotics, as a well-fitted orthotic is crucial for providing the best possible support and comfort.

Ideal for a Range of Patients

Interpod 0 Degree Foot Arch Support Insoles are suitable for a wide range of patients, from those with mild foot discomfort to individuals with more complex foot conditions. Whether your patients are experiencing pain due to overpronation, supination, or simply need additional support to improve their foot function, these orthotics offer a tailored solution that can be adjusted to meet their specific needs.

For healthcare professionals, the ability to choose between Low Stiffness and High Stiffness options provides the flexibility needed to address the diverse needs of your patient population. This ensures that you can offer the most appropriate level of support for each individual, improving outcomes and enhancing patient satisfaction.

Interpod 0 Degree Foot Arch Support Insoles are a versatile and effective solution for managing a variety of foot conditions.

As a trusted tool for healthcare professionals, the orthotics help to promote better foot health, improve comfort, and support your patients in leading more active, pain-free lives.

How the Arch Support Insoles help with Flat Feet

Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, is a condition where the arches of the feet collapse, causing the entire sole of the foot to make contact with the ground. This can lead to a range of issues, including pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back, due to the altered biomechanics of the body. For those affected by flat feet, finding effective support is crucial in managing symptoms and improving overall mobility. Interpod Soft 0° Full Length Orthotics are designed to provide this much-needed support, making a significant difference in the lives of those with flat feet.

Arch Support and Alignment

One of the primary benefits of Interpod Soft 0° Full Length Orthotics is their ability to provide structured support to the arch of the foot. For individuals with flat feet, the lack of a natural arch can lead to overpronation, where the foot rolls inward excessively during walking or running. This misalignment can cause undue stress on the feet and other parts of the body. By offering gentle yet effective arch support, these orthotics help to realign the foot into a more natural position, reducing overpronation and alleviating strain on the muscles and ligaments.

Enhanced Comfort and Cushioning

Flat feet can often lead to discomfort, especially during prolonged periods of standing or walking. The Interpod Soft 0° Full Length Orthotics are crafted from soft, cushioned materials that absorb shock and reduce the impact on the feet with each step. This cushioning is particularly beneficial for those with flat feet, as it helps to distribute pressure more evenly across the foot, reducing the likelihood of pain in the heels, arches, and balls of the feet. The soft design also makes these orthotics comfortable to wear throughout the day, providing continuous relief without causing irritation or discomfort.

Preventing Further Complications

By supporting the foot's natural structure and promoting proper alignment, Interpod Soft 0° Full Length Orthotics not only alleviate current symptoms but also help prevent the development of further complications associated with flat feet. Regular use can reduce the risk of chronic pain, improve gait, and enhance overall foot health, making these orthotics a vital tool in managing flat feet effectively.

Interpod Usage Guidelines

Patient Benefits

Interpod design features, which are supported by independent research, allow for improved orthotic prescription, reducing the forces which can cause your painful symptoms while maintaining foot comfort in your preferred shoe style.

Wearing in Instructions

Follow your practitioners’ instruction. Begin by wearing your orthoses for one hour the first day. Increase by one hour each consecutive day. Ideally after 2 weeks your orthoses will have moulded to the shape of your feet, and you should be comfortably wearing them daily. Minor discomfort is common whilst adjusting to your orthoses. If the discomfort continues stop wearing your orthoses and consult your practitioner.  

How should my Interpod insoles feel?

Initially there may be a sensation of pressure under the arch and heel area. This should decrease as your foot becomes accustomed to the insole. Fitting Instructions Remove any existing inserts from your shoe. Place Interpod orthotics into the shoe ensuring that the back of the orthotic is pushed up against rear of the shoe.

Caring Instructions

Do not leave your orthoses in the sun. Remove any gravel from your footwear. Clean your orthoses with a damp cloth & lukewarm soapy water only. Do not leave your orthoses where your pet can get them.

Replacement of Orthoses

Depending on frequency of use, Interpod Orthoses could last several months to several years (if only worn occasionally). Signs of wear are obvious and can include cracking, degeneration of the top cover, damage to the shell, bottoming out, and discolouration. To ensure performance, as general rule of thumb, we would advise patients to replace their insoles at least every 12 months.
