Plantar fasciitis does not typically provoke knee pain, although if it’s a very old plantar fasciitis diagnosis we cannot rule out that option.

Good insoles are essential for everyone, not just those with foot pain. Most shoes lack proper arch support, and neglect can lead to health problems and reduced mobility.

As points of contact between the body and the ground, the feet are critical structures for walking, balance, and posture.

Foot impairment is one of the risk factors for postural instability and falling.

Using insoles can make your feet more sensitive to changes in movement by giving them more information to work with.

This can help you react faster and stay stable while moving. Insoles can also help activate your leg muscles and improve how your foot moves by changing how it touches the ground.

After foot surgery, it is important to wear appropriate shoes to allow your foot to recover fully.

They provide better heel and arch support and cushioning that protects your foot from excessive forces making it more comfortable to walk, run or just wear shoes at all. Here are some of the foot conditions where the use of insoles is recommended: Plantar fasciitis, Diabetes, flat foot (pronated), pes cavus, supinated foot, Morton’s neuroma, rheumatoid arthritis, calcaneal spur, and bunions.

If your feet aren't working properly, they can cause problems with how you stand and walk, leading to pain in your knees, hips, or back.

Insoles can help fix these issues by aligning your joints and correcting your posture.
