Q: What restrictions should be considered before ordering orthopedic insoles?

Before ordering orthotics, you should consider active wounds, skin lesions, acute pain, severe deformities, diabetic risks, loss of sensation, vascular problems, swelling, suspected fracture or infection. If your foot is painful, swollen, red, hot or has a wound, you should first seek medical evaluation. It is especially important for people with diabetes to check the skin of their feet and not use products that rub or create pressure points. The NIDDK explains that people with diabetes and neuropathy may not be able to feel a wound, blister or injury to their foot, which increases the risk of infection: https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/diabetes/overview/preventing-problems/foot-problems. MedlinePlus recommends seeking medical attention for severe pain, swelling, redness, numbness, tingling or inability to walk normally: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003183.htm. Cochrane, in a review on insoles for flat feet in children, notes that the benefits and harms of orthoses depend on the patient group and the presence of symptoms: https://www.cochrane.org/evidence/CD006311_foot-orthoses-treating-flat-feet-children. Therefore, insoles should be selected after assessment, and not only based on shoe size.

Questions and answers

What are custom orthopedic insoles at Kinezium?

Individual orthopedic insoles at KINEZIUM are a product for foot support, load distribution and correction of individual biomechanical features after assessing the condition. They can help with foot fatigue, discomfort when walking, flat feet, uneven load or the need for additional support in shoes. Insoles should not be selected only “by foot size”: important complaints, foot shape, gait, shoes, activity level and associated risks. Before manufacturing, the specialist assesses the foot, support, mobility, pain zones and goals of the patient. A correctly selected insole should be comfortable after the adaptation period and should not provoke new pain.

Who might need custom-made orthopedic insoles?

Custom orthotics may be needed for foot fatigue, pain after walking, flat feet, uneven foot load, discomfort in the lower legs, knees, or lower back if it is related to support. They may also be useful for people who walk a lot, work standing, play sports, or need individual foot support. If there is acute pain, wounds, diabetic complications, or significant deformity, a medical evaluation is required first.

Situation	How can insoles help?
Foot fatigue after walking	Support the arch and distribute the load
Flatfoot	Provide individual support taking into account the shape of the foot
Standing work	Reduce overload of individual areas of the foot
Discomfort in the heel or arch	Support areas that are overloaded during support
Uneven shoe wear	Assess gait biomechanics and the need for correction
Return to activity	Add support during the period of adaptation to loads

What problems do custom-made orthopedic insoles help solve?

Custom orthotics help support the arch of the foot, distribute weight, improve walking comfort, and reduce pressure on specific areas. If your foot rolls inward, your soles become overly stressed, or your feet tire easily, an insole may be part of the solution. However, it is not a substitute for foot, leg, balance, and gait exercises if there is muscle weakness or impaired foot control. The insole provides support, but the body still needs to learn to carry the load properly. A combination of insoles, exercises, and shoe adjustments often provides the best results.

How are custom orthopedic insoles selected?

Custom orthotics are selected after an examination, foot analysis, gait assessment, complaints, footwear, and patient goals. The specialist can assess the standing position of the foot, the nature of the support, ankle joint mobility, pain areas, shoe wear, and gait characteristics. It is also important to understand why the insoles are needed: daily walking, standing work, sports, rehabilitation, or support for flat feet. After manufacturing, a fitting and adaptation period are required, as the foot must gradually get used to the new support. If the insole causes severe pain, it must be adjusted.

How to make orthopedic insoles at the Kinezium center in Kyiv?

To make orthopedic insoles at the KINEZIUM center in Kyiv, you need to sign up for a consultation and undergo a foot assessment. At the appointment, the specialist clarifies the complaints, activity level, footwear, gait characteristics, pain, fatigue, previous injuries or diagnoses. Next, measurements are taken, the insoles are selected or made, a fitting is performed, and recommendations for wearing are made. Usually, adaptation should be gradual: it is not always worth wearing new insoles all day from the first time. After a period of wearing, correction may be required based on the patient's feelings.

How do custom insoles differ from ready-made products?

Custom insoles differ from ready-made products in terms of fit, materials, support, adaptation to the foot, and intended use. Ready-made insoles may be comfortable as a basic support, but they do not take into account the specific shape of the foot, gait, load asymmetry, and individual pain zones. A custom product is created after an assessment and can better meet the needs of the person.

Criterion	Customized insoles	Ready-made insoles
Landing	Fits a specific foot	Standard shape and size
Support	Can take into account vaults, supports, overload zones	General depreciation or support
Materials	They are chosen based on tasks and activity.	Usually standard
Adaptation	May require fitting and adjustment	More often used without individual correction
When is suitable?	For complaints, flat feet, asymmetry, specific needs	With a light comfortable request without pronounced problems

What restrictions should be considered before ordering orthopedic insoles?

Before ordering orthopedic insoles, you need to consider active wounds, skin lesions, acute pain, severe deformities, diabetic risks, loss of sensation, vascular problems, swelling, suspected fracture or infection. If the foot is in severe pain, swollen, red, hot or has a wound, a medical evaluation is required first. It is especially important for diabetics to check the skin of the feet and not use a product that rubs or creates pressure points.

The NIDDK explains that with diabetes and neuropathy, a person may not feel a wound, blister, or injury to the foot, which increases the risk of infection: https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/diabetes/overview/preventing-problems/foot-problems. MedlinePlus, in its article on foot pain, advises seeking medical attention if you experience severe pain, swelling, redness, numbness, tingling, or an inability to walk normally: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003183.htm. Cochrane, in a review on insoles for flat feet in children, notes that the benefits and harms of orthoses depend on the patient group and the presence of symptoms: https://www.cochrane.org/evidence/CD006311_foot-orthoses-treating-flat-feet-children. Therefore, insoles should be selected after assessment, and not just based on shoe size.

What results can be expected after using Kinezium insoles?

After using KINEZIUM insoles, you can expect gradual adaptation, better walking comfort, foot support and reduced overload of individual areas. The result depends on the cause of the pain, foot shape, footwear, activity, weight, regularity of wearing and the availability of foot exercises. An unusual feeling is possible in the first few days, so adaptation should be gradual. If new pain, rubbing or deterioration of gait occurs, the insole should be checked.

A PubMed Central systematic review of foot orthoses for adult flat feet notes that evidence for the effectiveness of orthoses for adult flat feet is lacking, and studies are of varying quality: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8628393/. A PubMed Central review of flexible flat feet in children and adults also emphasizes that the effect should be assessed by symptoms and patient group: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9825043/. Cochrane on pediatric flat feet shows that the question of the benefit of insoles depends on whether there are symptoms, pain, and specific clinical indications: https://www.cochrane.org/evidence/CD006311_foot-orthoses-treating-flat-feet-children. Practical conclusion: Insoles can be a useful support, but they are best combined with a foot assessment, exercises, and proper footwear.

What is the price of orthopedic insoles in Kyiv and what does the cost depend on?

The price of orthopedic insoles in Kyiv depends on the type of insoles, materials, manufacturing complexity, diagnostics, individual needs and possible adjustments after fitting. Insoles for daily walking, sports, standing work or rehabilitation may have different requirements. To order insoles at KINEZIUM, you need to undergo a foot assessment, report complaints, footwear, activity level, diabetic or vascular risks. After manufacturing, the patient receives recommendations for gradual wearing and adaptation. This helps to make the use of insoles more comfortable and safe.
