Description
- This application claims priority from U.S. provision application No. 61/191,812 filed Sep. 12, 2008.
- This invention relates generally to the field of arch support for feet, and more particularly to a therapeutic arch support including a variably tensioned arch curve and a method of utilizing the arch support in treating foot disorders.
- Prior foot support devices typically provide flexible cushioning material for support of an arch of a foot. Typical prior devices have provided pliable cushion pads that can be utilized to build up the cushioning materials for support of a heel or an arch. Other prior devices have provided shoes or boots that contain an integral and non-removable foot support structure that is installed as a single unit into a specially designed shoe or boot having an externally accessed adjustment screw or connector, which is not transferable to other shoes.
- Prior foot instep supports typically provide an arch curve that is composed of flexible materials such as leather, foam, and pliable plastic to provide comfort for the wearer of the foot instep supports. Prior insole or instep devices generally are made to have a similar thickness along the length of the insole, or have a solid arch portion composed of flexible rubber or compressible foam material having a thickness extending continuously from the arch surface to a generally flat base of the insole. The prior foot instep supports were malleable and did not retain a rigid shape. The prior foot instep supports were purposefully made of malleable and flexible materials to allow changing of the curvatures to fit a user, and/or to allow the instep supports to be bent to fit into different styles of shoes. With no retention of the original curvature of the arch portion of prior instep supports, the arch portion would fail and flatten with use, and a user's arch curve was not properly supported after extended use of prior instep supports, leading to arch pain and/or heel pain identified in layman's terms as “falling arches.”
- The stackable members of cushioning deformed and flattened during extended use, and the foot support devices permanently installed within shoes were not transferable to other pairs of shoes.
- Commercially available sport shoe inserts typically provide a cushioned cover over a rigid length of plastic. The rigid length of plastic may extend from the arch curve portion to a heel portion of the foot, or may extend from the toes to the heel portion of the foot. The sport shoe insert typically is available in one or two arch curve heights such as a “high arch” or “medium arch” style, with the same arch curve height provided for both of the right and left shoe inserts. The user is expected to select a foot length and arch curve height (high or medium arch), that matches his or her foot, and the user is typically not provided with assistance from a trained professional. A user having a “low arch” must utilize a “medium arch” style, or locate a lower arch support insert.
- There is a need for an adjustable arch support insole providing therapeutic rigid support of the longitudinal arch of the feet, with the insole transferable between pairs of footwear. A need exists for an adjustable arch support insole including a generally rigid medial longitudinal arch curve that is variably adjustable in tension along the slope of the arch curve during each weighted and outweighed cycle of walking and running. A further need exists for an adjustable arch curve insole including a generally rigid medial longitudinal arch curve having a means for adjusting the tension along the arch curve, to allow a user to adjust the tension and height of the arch curve for proper fit under each arch of the right and left foot, and for proper fit in various styles of footwear.
- An additional need includes providing a method for utilizing an arch support insole being adjustable in tension along the arch curve, including varying the tension along the arch curve of the arch support insole for treatment of foot disorders under the supervision of a medical professional for a user suffering from heel spurs, plantar facilities, arch pain, tendinitis, metatarsalgia, and related foot disorders. A need exists for a method of adjusting the tension along the arch curve of an adjustable arch support insole, with maintenance over repetitive uses of a preferred arch curve tension and slope for support of the user's arches of the feet, with minimal training of the user and without the need for daily or weekly supervision of a medical professional.
- The invention provides a universal insole and an arch support for supporting having an arch curve being adjustably tensioned during use, said insole and arch support being positioned under a foot and being sized and shaped to be removable placed within a foot support enclosure worn by a user, comprising: an arch support being sized for support of the foot from underneath about the metatarsal bones of the foot, to underneath about the calcaneus's bone of the foot, said insole having a first surface being contoured for support of the foot the sole of a foot in a footwear; the sole comprising interconnecting superimposed pad layers including top and bottom superimposed pad layers, said pad layers made of a flexible material, and first intermediate means for specific adjustment of the thickness of the arch support of said insole for best fit of the foot inside said footwear wherein the first intermediate means fixedly or not fixedly connected with said bottom superimposed pad layer and wherein said first intermediate means is convex on the side facing the surface of the lower layer, and its top surface is made flat and wherein said first intermediate means is wedge-shaped or V-shaped.
- In a preferred embodiment at least one additional intermediate means between top superimposed pad layer and said first intermediate means wherein said at least one intermediate means is convex on the side facing the upper surface layer, and its bottom surface is made flat and wherein said at least one additional intermediate means is wedge-shaped or V-shaped.
- In another preferred embodiment the apparatus is using at least one more additional intermediate means and this one more additional intermediate means implemented lenticular and wherein said one more additional intermediate means is wedge-shaped or V-shaped and is located between first intermediate means and at least one intermediate means.

FIGS. 1 , 2 and referred to bynumeral 100.Insole 100 comprises a main uppertop pad layer 1 made preferably of leather.Layer 1 conforms to the general shape of the sole of a foot. Thelower layer 2insoles 100 tightly secured to theupper layer 1insoles 100 through firmware for example in the zone under the arch curve portion of the foot. Thelower layer 2insoles 100 may be made of dense tissue, such as artificial leather. Fixing made by the curve, crossing the mainupper top layer 12 through the arc in the zone under the arch curve portion of the foot.Region 3 of thelower layer 2 remains free on theedge 4insoles 100. Thus formedpocket 5. By thebottom layer 2 attached the lower insert 6 (FIGS. 3,4). Saidinsert 6 may be made for example of rubber. Theinsert 6 in size slightly smaller than thelower layer 2insoles 100 and has aconvex side 7 andflat side 8 and is wedge-shaped or V-shaped in cross section and have thickness that began smaller from theregion 3 to the curve, crossing theupper layer 12 through the arc. Theconvex side 7 directed to thelower layer 2insoles 100 and aflat side 8 addressed to theupper layer 1insole 100. At the flat side of 8 may be done ribs or other no-slip cover (not shown on the drawing). Abevel 10 may be done from the convexside 7 to theflat side 8 for comfortable use under the foot arch sone. Thetop layer 1insoles 100, thelower layer 2 insoles, thepocket 5 and theinsert 6 constitute the universalbasic configuration insole 100. - The customer puts basic configuration insole 100 into the footwear (boots, shoes, slippers, sneakers) in the above configuration. If the consumer has low body height natural arches, the above configuration will be sufficient, and the consumer will feel comfortable. If natural height arches more or less than average, the consumer will not feel comfortable. In this case he removed
