These knobs are actually called pads.

Pads are specialized pads that we individually incorporate into your insoles . Through the precise positioning, a specific area of the foot can be supported, stimulated or relieved in a targeted manner. For example, a foot deformity can be corrected, which affects your overall posture.

The sensory impulses of the insoles act throughout the body, influencing the level of tension in the various muscles and the position of the joints. In this way, tense muscles can be released, muscle groups can be precisely activated and the entire posture can be improved.

But what exactly do these pads do now? Especially with this shoe insole in the picture?

1. The “toe balcony” increases the tension of the sole fascia of the foot and influences calf muscles, for example in hollow feet.

2. The “splayfoot pad” corrects, relieves and supports the foot in the case of a sunken transverse arch, for example in the case of splayfoot, flat foot or flat foot.

3. and 4. “Rearfoot pads”
These control the alignment of the heel and ankle joint via the shin and lateral calf muscles. By stimulating the corresponding muscles.

There are many different pads, depending on the foot deformity or clinical picture.
