Implementing an insole program in the workplace can have a profound impact on both employee health and productivity. Many workers spend long hours on their feet, which can lead to foot pain, fatigue, and discomfort. By providing customized insoles, employers can help alleviate these issues, offering support and cushioning that promote proper alignment and reduce strain on the body. This leads to fewer injuries, less pain, and improved comfort throughout the workday. When employees feel better physically, their focus and efficiency increase, resulting in higher productivity. A well-designed insole program can also contribute to employee well-being, reducing the number of sick days and improving overall morale. Investing in foot health through insoles is a practical and effective way to enhance workplace performance while supporting long-term employee health. If you are an employer and you are interested in learning about an insole program that will benefit your employees, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist.

What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are inserts you can place into your shoes to help with a variety of foot problems such as flat feet or foot pain. Orthotics provide relief and comfort for minor foot and heel pain.
Over-the-Counter Inserts
Shoe inserts come in a wide variety and are used to treat foot pain, heel pain, and minor problems. For example, arch supports can be inserted into your shoes to help correct overarched or flat feet, while gel insoles are often used because they provide comfort and relief from foot and heel pain by alleviating pressure.
Prescription Orthotics
If over-the-counter inserts don’t work for you or if you have a more severe foot concern, it is possible to have your podiatrist prescribe custom orthotics. These high-quality, custom inserts are designed to treat problems such as abnormal motion, plantar fasciitis, and severe forms of heel pain. They can even be used to help patients suffering from diabetes by treating foot ulcers and painful calluses and are usually molded to your feet individually, which allows them to provide full support and comfort.
If you're experiencing minor to severe foot or heel pain, it’s recommended to speak with your podiatrist about the possibility of using custom orthotics or shoe inserts. A podiatrist can determine which type of custom orthotic or shoe insert is right for you and help you take the first steps toward being pain-free.
