A method of forming a castless orthotic for a patient's foot in need thereof. The method comprises preparing an orthotic template for the foot wherein the template extends between a heel end and a toe end. In preparing the template the steps of attaching a three-quarter length or full length upper thermoplastic material to a or three-quarter length lower thermoplastic material, or providing a thermoplastic material having a variable thickness such that said thickness decreases from said heel end to said toe end is provided. Then attaching an outer lower layer to the lower thermoplastic material and attaching an outer upper layer to the upper thermoplastic material, or attaching an outer layer to each face of the variable thickness thermoplastic material and heating the prepared orthotic template for a predetermined period of time at a predetermined temperature to soften the orthotic template. A wrap is then placed on top of the foot foam and the foot of the patient is placed on top of the wrap and foot foam. The patient's foot is lifted and the heated orthotic template is placed on top of the the wrap and then placing the patient's foot on top of the heated orthotic template. The wrap is placed about the longitudinal axis of the foot to retain the heated orthotic template intermediate the sole of the foot and the foot foam whereby the sides of the orthotic template are particularly supported by the wrap. The method further includes ensuring the foot is positioned over a cuboid support and a medial longitudinal arch support wherein the cuboid support is disposed on the outside of the bottom of the foot and the cuboid support is moved to push the foot upwardly until a resistance is felt, and where the foot is also positioned over the medial longitudinal arch support which is then pushed and pulled upwardly until the foot is moved into a neutral position or if it is unable to be translated or rotated due to until it reaches its end range of motion. At this time, the heel of the patient's foot is lifted to place their weight substantially on the front of their foot and a coolant is applied to at least the heel end of the orthotic template.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices related to an adjustable arch support system. The adjustable arch support system enables selective adjustment of a component useful in supporting the arch. The system may comprise an insole, an outer shell positioned within the insole, and an inner shell positioned below the outer shell. The inner shell is attached to an adjustment system that controls an area of contact between the inner shell and the outer shell, where the adjustment system includes a gear and track system.

An odor-eliminating insole increases comfort, eliminates odor, and reduces moisture. The odor-eliminating insole comprises a quantity of odor-eliminating material, a quantity of desiccant, an ergonomic shoe insert, and a decorative cover. The quantity of odor-eliminating material neutralizes odor. The quantity of desiccant reduces moisture. The ergonomic shoe insert houses the quantity of odor-eliminating material and the quantity of desiccant. Additionally, the ergonomic increases comfort when wearing footwear. The decorative cover adds an aesthetic aspect to the odor-eliminating insole.

An article used in a fitness activity such as the practice of yoga that may be exposed to a corona virus, such as COVID-19, the article including a substrate having at least one contact surface, wherein the substrate includes an antiviral material in an effective amount to reduce the life span of the virus, wherein the antiviral material is at least partially exposed on the contact surface of the substrate.

An article used in a fitness activity such as the practice of yoga that may be exposed to a corona virus, such as COVID-19, the article including a substrate having at least one contact surface, wherein the substrate includes an antiviral material in an effective amount to reduce the life span of the virus, wherein the antiviral material is at least partially exposed on the contact surface of the substrate.

A modular footwear having individual versatility is provided comprising an insole for primary support and a sole provided thereon. The footwear further comprises a heel provided on the insole having a heel counter provided on an upper periphery of the heel and wherein the insole defines a channel for receiving an attachment means to securely attach the footwear to the individual.

Provided are a hybrid insole with a multi-shock absorbing pad and a method for fabricating the hybrid insole. The hybrid insole includes an insole body including at least one sheet layer that is formed of an elastic material and has a shape of a human sole; a first absorbing pad means including first to fourth absorbing pad portions attached to the insole body corresponding to a metatarsal region, a tarsal bone region, and a calcaneus region of the human foot, and first to third connecting portions selectively connecting the first to fourth absorbing pad portions; and a second absorbing pad means including a fifth absorbing pad portion attached to the insole body corresponding to the metatarsal region and a phalange region of the human foot.

The hybrid insole is configured such that absorbing pads of different structures are disposed to correspond to the bone structure for each region of the foot and the shape of an arch, thus distributing and absorbing the weight load of the human body.

An insole for insertion into an article of footwear to alleviate foot pain and a related method of manufacture is disclosed. The multi-layer insole comprises a top layer, a textured layer and a bottom layer. The top layer having first and second impression portions, wherein the first impression conforms to the muscle anatomy and the second impression conforms to the tendon anatomy of the plantar side of the user's foot. The bottom layer having a third impression portion that conforms to a user's skeletal anatomy on the plantar side of the foot. A method of forming the multi-layer insole utilizes a pair of blanks for accepting the foot at different pressures to form negative impressions of the plantar side of the foot. The top and bottom layers of the multi-layer footwear insole are then formed from the negative impressions.

An insole is provided that is constructed out of a mesh material that is stretched and suspended over a cavity formed in a shoe. The mesh surrounds a foam base and a rigid frame positioned under the foam base. The foam base is shaped so that a cavity is formed between the top surface of the foam base and the mesh positioned over the foam base to provide a “trampoline” effect for a wearer's foot.

An insole with heat generating system is disclosed, which comprises an insole, a piezoelectric module disposed inside the insole and electrically connected with each other to form an electrical circuit, two flexible conductive strips having a first conductive copper piece and a second conductive copper piece disposed thereon, and at least one resistive heating chip. Wherein the piezoelectric module generates the electrical energy through stepping on the insole, and then turns into the heat energy through the resistive heating chip, thereby generating a temperature for the insole, so the insole with heat generating system can adjust the temperature appropriately, its safety is high, most importantly, the invention does not need to add the battery to generate heat.
