What kinds of outdoor insoles are common?

It comes from the insole of outdoor sports shoes, but it uses EVA (vinyl acetate polymer) styrofoam to cast an arc at the bottom of the sole, which has little performance except the cheapest price. Most hiking shoes were originally made of this kind of insole.

2. Bound insole

As early as hundreds of years ago, Europeans have discovered that tipping is one of the good materials for making insoles. The advantages of hemming are lightness, softness, comfort and natural breathability, and the biggest advantage is that it will automatically adjust to the most suitable shape according to the radian of your sole to ensure a fit. The traditional cork insole is made by cutting natural cork into the arc shape of the sole with a knife, but it has been made by die casting in modern times. However, because the wrapping is too soft, it can not provide support or other functions except comfort. In addition, the tip insole is not cheap.

3. Moderately support insoles

This is also the original insole of some advanced hiking shoes. It is an ordinary EVA insole, and the heel part is supported by curved hard rubber, which has better support and stability.

4, high support insole

It is a product between ordinary insole and orthopedic insole. It is supported by adding precise radian to the EVA insole, and the support range extends to the middle palm. It has better performance in support and stability, and it is the highest evaluation among insoles sold independently at present.

5. Shock-absorbing insole

It adds gel or air cushion to the heel and forefoot of ordinary EVA insole, which is most suitable for running or other similar strenuous exercise. In fact, shock-absorbing insoles are not designed for hikers, because the impact force of each step of hiking is not so strong, but stability and support are the most needed functions of hiking shoes and hiking shoes.

6. Orthopedic insole

If, unfortunately, your sole is injured and the pain is unbearable when walking, please ask a podiatrist to tailor a pair of orthopedic insoles for your sole. Among all kinds of insoles, orthopedic insoles are the most ideal, because they are tailored for your feet and are consistent with your feet in radian or hardness. It's just really expensive. Generally, it costs thousands of dollars for a doctor to diagnose or even make it.
