Silicone pads for shoes - one of the most useful inventions of our time. They can reduce the load on certain parts of the foot, increase cushioning, have a massage effect, prevent rubbing. Also, even the simplest silicone cushion prevents the foot from sliding during the hot season, which makes the toe of the shoe much more pleasant.
Types of silicone pads for sandals and closed shoes
- Silicone pads under the foot . They are small inserts (not larger than the palm of the hand) with an adhesive base, which are attached to the foot of the shoe. They can be divided according to their functions. Today there are:
- ordinary - medium density and thickness, are usually used to prevent the foot from slipping;
- Massage - have a fluted top, stimulate blood circulation while walking, soften the sensation when walking;
- with instep support - inserts with orthopedic effect, with convexity, repeating the shape of the foot;
- teardrop-shaped, with a cushion - these silicone foot pads are ideal for high-heeled shoes (as it is in such models that the greatest pressure is on the foot, not the heel);
- silicone cushions for vetnamok - they have a vertical partition into which a jumper is inserted, they are suitable for both low-speed and heel models, and not only reduce the load on the front part of the foot, but also do not allow injuring the area between the fingers.
- ordinary - reduce the load, prevent the appearance of corns and calluses, do not allow the leg to slide;
- with a fabric covering from above - for those who are uncomfortable with contact with silicone;
- with seals around the heel and toe.
Sometimes in specialized shops there are cooling insoles. They are made of silicone and filled with liquid gel inside, and on top can be covered with a beige cloth. Before use, the cooling silicone pads should be placed in the freezer for 20-25 minutes. They are used for severe fatigue, prolonged exercise, swelling of the feet, and just on hot summer days.
Care for silicone pads
To maintain the liners in a clean and neat condition, they are enough to wipe with soap and water with soap. If you decide to completely wash them, then you need to dry the pads in a natural way, sticky side up! Do not wipe the substrate with a towel or paper - the particles will stick, and the insole will not stick.
