By wearing a pair of these insoles in your shoes you can prevent biomechanical imbalances causing excessive strain on your plantar fascia and stop excessive shock and pressure damaging your feet.
How do you get plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is caused when the plantar fascia ligament in your foot becomes damaged. Repeated shock of excessive strain on the arch can cause the plantar fascia to become damaged. You are at greater risk of damaging the plantar if:
- You have flat feet or high arches
- Your feet over pronate or supinate
- You wear shoes that are too tight or shoes that position your feet in a unnatural position
- You are obese or suddenly gain weight
- You are on your feet for long periods of time
Is plantar fasciitis serious?
If the underlining causes of your plantar fasciitis are not properly dealt with this condition can become chronic. Plantar fasciitis can also affect the way that you walk affecting your posture thus can lead to a biomechanical imbalance in your body which can cause other problems such as hip pain and lower back pain.
How to get rid of plantar fasciitis

I really have to say that these insoles REALLY did a great job at curing my plantar fasciiits. I tried just about every type of insole I could find and nothing seemed to help my arches apart from these. Unlike others these insoles helped support my arches and got rid of just about all strain meaning my feet could finally recover properly. Instead of risking getting plantar fasciitis again, from now on I am just going to buy a pair of these insoles for each pair of my shoes and wear them all the time. Thank you so much!!!!!!
