Insoles for flat feet

The best insoles for flat feet

Your arches makes your gait more flexible, improve balance when moving or standing, and absorbs shocks. If your arches are not properly raised, your feet will appear flat and so your mobility and flexibility will be impaired. This can result in a strain on joints and cause pain that needs to be addressed with arch support.

The problem with shoes

While all feet are unique, most shoes are made for the mass market and so are designed for feet that have average shape and characteristics.

But we're not all average.

The positioning of heels and toes varies, as does the shape of arches.

Choosing G8 2620s as your insoles for flat feet solves this by delivering you completely customizable comfort and support through 5 flexible arch height and 11 position options.

As a result, 2620s often help solve foot problems - including fallen arches and over-pronation (excessive rolling inward of the feet).

It's also common for 2620 wearers to experience:

* Improved blood flow

* Better posture

* Reduced swelling and strain on feet

* Foot pain relief

* Pain relief in lower back, feet and knees

* Improved overall well being.

Best of all, you'll be exercising and strengthening your foot muscles as wear your 2620s - even in your every day shoes.

What causes flat feet?

We all have flat feet when we’re born - the arches generally develop as we grow.

Sometimes that doesn’t happen because our feet don’t grow properly and this is often a genetic condition so that many in the family will have flat feet.

In some cases, flat feet will develop later in life and this condition is commonly known as fallen arches or acquired flat feet.

This can be due to:

- The natural ageing process as tendons stretch

- Obesity or weight gain, possibly due to pregnancy, since this puts more pressure on the feet

- A traumatic injury, such as tearing a tendon or dislocating bones

- Inflammation in the joints caused by rheumatoid arthritis

- Decreased blood supply to the feet

- Diabetes that affects the nerves or weakens tendons.

From injury prevention to performance

Leonardo da Vinci said, “The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.”

When we study the engineering of the foot, we discover that it’s designed to move dynamically. But – even the best running shoes by omissions in their design will over time, inhibit the foot’s natural movement.

This inhibition goes on to cause muscles to shrink, natural gait to change, and other parts of the body to unnaturally accommodate the force on your feet. 

As we go about our lives, whether on a hard or soft surfaces, our feet take a pounding. And when we play in ill-fitting shoes, we run the risk of nerves being compressed resulting in inflammation, tenderness, and pain.

G8 2620 insoles are designed to fit in any enclosed sports shoe and are a great choice if you are looking for high-quality insoles for flat feet.

They enable you to play more comfortably - move faster - and offer long term health benefits for your feet. G8 2620s give your feet the freedom to move more naturally while providing enhanced protection and support.

At G8 Performance, we’ve created a uniquely adjustable arch piece that suits feet of all shapes, sizes and levels of flexibility and strength and which supports the foot throughout the entire range of motion in the gait cycle.

Not only will our insoles help to reduce pain and discomfort, but they increase blood flow, strengthen your muscles, and promote a much more efficient gait.

2620s inside your every day shoes encourage the foot’s natural movement – that is, the amazing feat of engineering our bodies were born with – and help prevent common foot injuries by strengthening your feet.

What if my flat arches aren't that bad?

  • Most shoes inhibit the foot's ability to move naturally. This can lead to the muscles in your feet atrophying. This is what causes pain and numbness - so keeping your feet healthy and strong is an excellent way to prevent the pain from ever appearing in the first place.

  • Because they exercise your foot muscles, using 2620s as your insoles for flat feet will over time, enhance your performance. By making your feet stronger, you’ll be able to expel more force through them, leading you to be more stable and move faster.

  • Your feet are more important than you think, and if they’re too weak, the rest of the body will have to compensate. This can lead to issues with your back, knees, ankles and more. The health of your feet has an impact on your overall health.

  • G8 Performance 2620 insoles have been designed to increase blood flow, and so support the healthy supply of blood to your feet. Healthy blood circulation is essential for general health and in the case of our feet can prevent conditions such as "hot foot".

  • G8 2620 insoles increase foot proprioception. Increasing the feeling in your foot is a great way to improve your balance and agility - and prevent falls or injuries caused by numbness of toes and feet.

Stronger feet mean:

1. Increased force transfer, which means greater forward momentum and less pressure on lower limbs.

2. Better biomechanics and a positive effect on ankles, knees, hips and back.

3. Better balance and brain-foot connection (proprioception), meaning your feet respond quickly and more accurately to your brain’s placement signals.

Performance and injury prevention are implicitly tied to foot health and strength

G8 Performance 2620 insoles are specially designed to strengthen your feet by mimicking the dynamic function of bare feet even whilst you are wearing shoes or boots.

Unlike other arch support insole products on the market, 2620’s aren’t a ‘quick fix’.

Instead, they are designed to increase foot strength and health in the long term. And because 2620’s are fully customizable, they can be quickly and easily adjusted as your feet strengthen.

Many 2620 users report increased performance and endurance over time.

2620’s actively exercise and strengthen the forefoot by assisting flex at the forefoot for maximum energy disbursement on impact. This allows the foo to efficiently expel energy.

Other full-foot benefits include: 

- Supporting the foot throughout the entire gait cycle

- Enhancing stretch and strength within the foot

- Maintaining bone structure

- Facilitating a more natural way of moving.
