Medial & Lateral Heel Wedge Inserts for Bowed Leg and Knock Knee Correction

Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable) Medial wedge insoles work to control excessive inward movement at the foot and ankle during gait by aligning the heel bone, which may also in turn correct any misalignment of the lower limb. By placing the heel in a medially angled position, insoles can adjust the loading across the knee and ankle joint reducing the level of pain at the affected area.

She adds that foam is the softest and the least supportive, making it a good choice for wearers with diabetes or neuropathy ( loss of feeling in your feet).
