Our premium orthotic insoles with anatomical arch support prevent the foot from rolling inwards, re-align the lower limb and knee, and improve knee joint function. Our cushioning soles absorbs impact, softens every step you take, and prevents much of the shock from getting to the knees. Lastly, a firm heel counter and wide soles increase stability and helps control overpronation.
Yes, here's how:
Shoes with no arch support can lead to collapsed arches, which can lead to knee pain.
High heels, including stiletto heels, can increase the impact on the knees and may cause knee pain. They can also change body alignment, putting continuous pressure on the knees and affect their alignment.
Shoes lacking cushioning can lead to knee instability, particularly during physical activities.
Ill-fitting shoes can result in lower body fatigue, which can alter walking and increase the risk of knee injuries.
Overpronation can strain the knees, and shoes without a strong midsole cannot help address this issue.
Shoes that force an unnatural gait, like sandals that require clenching toes, can lead to gait shortening and lower body fatigue.
The best type of shoe for knee pain should meet several key criteria for optimal support and comfort.
Arch support. Opt for shoes that provide good arch support. Proper arch support helps distribute your weight evenly, realigns the feet, legs, and knees, and reduces pressure on the knees, ultimately minimizing pain.
Cushioned sole. Look for shoes with a cushioned sole. The cushioning in the sole can absorb shock and reduce the impact on your knees when walking or running, providing added comfort and protection.
Rocker sole design. A rocker sole features a curved shape from the toe to the heel, which can help reduce the pressure and force placed on the knee joint during walking or running, providing knee pain relief.
Wider toe box. A wider toe box allows your toes to spread out, which can improve balance and stability, providing a more natural and comfortable fit for your feet.
Proper fit. Ill-fitting shoes, whether they are too tight or too loose, can cause additional stress on your knees. A well-fitting shoe is essential for reducing knee pain and promoting overall comfort and support.
