Thickness-Varied Soft Surface on Shoe-Insoles Based on In-Shoe Pressure Measurement

"This custom made shoe insole is milled, with a thickness varied soft upper surface ranging from 0-6mm in thickness. The base of the insole is 45 shore Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA).~This intervention makes the insole from an individual foot scan, a plantar pressure measurement from the individual and the shoe model to mill a finished custom made shoe insole with a soft upper surface. It is difficult in clinical practice of making shoe inserts to create a thickness varied soft upper with different zones all over the insole. Furthermore, a soft upper requires a physical positive model to be made of the foot and staff must spend time to grind the insole to an acceptable shape. A milled version would be more effective since it require no physical foot model, little to no work grinding the insole and enables the use of thickness-variations. It also enables the use of data-based insole-manufacturing, such as data from plantar pressure measurements."

This intervention has a 3mm soft layer on the insole, milled with a 45 shore base of the custom made insole. This is one of the most commonly used designs in clinical practice.

This intervention has a no soft layer on the insole, milled with a 45 shore base of the custom made insole. This is one of the most commonly used designs in clinical practice.
