Happy Feet with Shoe Insoles and Inserts
A healthy foot is flexible, durable, and strong. The foot is a very complex part of our body - and the more complex, the easier it can be to sustain injuries. Here at Seniorshop, we offer a wide range of insoles and special shoe inserts to help you stay comfortably on your feet every day.
What is a Heel Spur?
A heel spur is an inflammatory condition affecting the bursa under the heel bone, which can be extremely painful and uncomfortable. This condition results from overloading the heel, which can occur in connection with flatfoot or hollow foot. A heel spur is also often called plantar fasciitis because it involves inflammation of the plantar fascia on the heel.
Symptoms of a heel spur primarily manifest as heel pain, which worsens when you step down on the heel. The pain is often the most severe in the morning.
Fortunately, there is help available if you suffer from a heel spur. At Seniorshop, you will find heel spur inserts that effectively relieve and treat this uncomfortable condition. You can find the various heel inserts under the category [Heel Spur](https://seniorshop.dk/bandager/fodindlaeg/haelspore.html).
A heel spur insert is a foot insole designed to treat the pain associated with heel spur or plantar fasciitis. The insert works by redistributing the pressure to the healthy parts of the heel so that you don’t step directly onto the inflamed heel spur. This way, you avoid pain and give your heel the rest it needs to heal.
Toe Relief: How It Works
Foot and toe pain is a common and frequent problem. The most common causes of these issues include injuries, obesity, disease, or problematic footwear. However, with a good pair of insoles, a forefoot insert, or other types of shoe inserts, you can significantly alleviate toe pain.
At Seniorshop, we offer a wide variety of products for the effective treatment of foot or toe pain. Products for toe relief can include a hammertoe pad (or a toe cushion), which reduces pain associated with hammertoe and provides gentle relief for your toes.
Toe injuries such as hammertoe often result from wearing shoes that are too small for an extended period, where one or more toes become bent or crooked. Here, a forefoot insert can be of great assistance. A forefoot insert is a shoe insert specifically designed to relieve and lift the front part of the foot, namely the balls of the feet and toes. Forefoot inserts are intended to relieve, support, correct, and/or treat.
In this webshop, you will also find bunion splints for the big toe that relieve and treat pain in this area. The splint works by ensuring that the big toe remains in the correct position. This is an effective treatment if you suffer from Hallux Valgus, a deformity of the big toe.
You can also find other products for the toes, such as toe separators (which you may also know as toe spreaders or toe spacers) that provide relief for compressed or crooked toes.
How to Choose Shoe Insoles
Our feet are hard at work every day. They carry our full body weight when we move around, so it is naturally important to take good care of them. You primarily do this by investing in good footwear, which doesn’t burden your feet but rather supports their natural shape. (If you’re reading this and thinking, “I need exactly some good, comfortable footwear!” then [see our wide selection of stylish shoes here)](https://seniorshop.dk/sko-og-paaklaedning/sko.html).
Unfortunately, there is a lot of footwear that doesn’t serve our feet well and can cause pain, injuries, and other discomforts, often due to poor fit or bad soles.
Problems or pain in the feet can also arise from foot injuries or diseases, such as arthritis or diabetes. If you suffer from foot pain, a good insole or targeted shoe insert can help you a great deal.
How you choose the right shoe insole depends primarily on your specific issue. Here is a list of three of the most common foot issues, with a guide on which insert can help you:
- **Heel Spur.** As described above, a heel spur is an inflammatory condition in the heel that can be very painful. If you suffer from this problem, a heel spur insert can have a good relieving effect. - **Pain in the Forefoot.** There can be many reasons why one experiences forefoot pain. It could be due to unsuitable footwear like high heels or overly narrow shoes but could also be due to conditions like hammertoe, inflammation in the forefoot, or rheumatoid arthritis. At Seniorshop, we sell relieving forefoot inserts that can help alleviate the pain. - **Crooked Big Toe (Hallux Valgus)** Hallux Valgus is the Latin name for a crooked big toe. The condition is quite widespread, but the exact cause of the problem is unknown. In Hallux Valgus, the big toe is crooked or dislocated, which can lead to swelling and significant discomfort. Fortunately, a good shoe insert can provide significant relief.
