Soft insoles are making your foot pain worse. Here's why — and what actually helps.
Most foot pain — heel pain, Achilles pain, arch pain, ball of foot pain — isn't caused by the pain itself. It's caused by how your foot moves.
So every step, your foot can be creating stress in the wrong places. After a while those structures start to complain — the plantar fascia chronically strains at the heel, the joints get overloaded, the ball of the foot structures become inflamed.
Soft insoles just cushion that movement. They don't change it.
I'm Narelle — podiatrist, human movement scientist, PhD with 35 years treating the movement patterns that cause these problems.
I designed ANATOMICA because I couldn't find anything on the market that addressed what feet actually need. Support for all three of the foot's arches. The right heel height. A mild rocker sole to help your foot move the way it's supposed to.
