Description
- Dynamic support for the foot Does NOT lock up the foot; atrophying your musculature and support system They continue to allow your foot to operate in a natural way; strengthening the foot's own abilities to stabilize and cushion
- Support is provided for medial longitudinal arch AND the forefoot transverse arch
- Arch support material is sophisticated polyethylene; strong but flexible; so less likely to cause discomfort or require a period of getting accustomed to support
- Cupped heel enhances rear foot cradled fit Centered under the heel is a Thermal Plastic Urethane insert; an effective shock absorber Medial and lateral ridges provide both a softer ride via a trampoline effect and add additional stability
- Full length layers include a low friction top layer and shock absorbing EVA; which will mold and shape to conform to one's foot for semi custom fit and feel
ArchFlexSystem foot beds were developed in conjunction with Portola AB of Sweden, one of the oldest and most respected custom orthopedic laboratories in Scandinavia. Based on what they learned from engineering thousands of pairs of custom orthotics (350-500), they felt they could build much of the function into this semi-custom product at a fraction of the price. The wide range of human foot types, biomechanical patterns and uses dictate that active people will benefit from enhanced support, cushion and fit of an upgraded foot bed vs. what is provided as original equipment in most off the shelf footwear.
