About Insoles for Diabetes & Arthritis
Insoles for diabetes, arthritis, and sensitive feet are designed primarily to alleviate pressure on the foot, help absorb impact shock, and minimize any abrasive rubbing or irritation against the skin of the foot. These insoles are typically made using lightweight and closed-cell foam such as Plastazote (a popular material for diabetic insoles) to help keep the insoles light, assist in pressure relief, while helping to reduce skin shearing. Diabetic and arthritic insoles will also often feature a gel base or gel padding at the heel and ball-of-foot for additional comfort and shock absorption.
