An insulating shoe insert including a core layer formed of a cellular material, and a top layer and a bottom layer bonded to opposing sides of the core layer, respectively, the top layer and the bottom layer being configured as thin sheets of aromatic polyamide material such that the top layer and bottom layer cooperate with the core layer to create a heat transfer resistance sufficient to resist transfer of heat through the core layer.

An article of footwear may include a sole structure fixedly attached to an upper defining an internal cavity configured to receive a foot of a wearer. The sole structure may include an exposed outer member configured to contact the ground, the exposed outer member including a first aperture, and a sensory feedback member disposed at least partially within the first aperture in the outer member, the sensory feedback member including a first end and a second end. The first end of the sensory feedback member may include a projection extending through the first aperture and configured to contact the ground. In addition, the second end of the sensory feedback member may include a plurality of flexible bristles extending through a portion of the sole structure and exposed to the internal cavity.

An orthotic support insert is configured to be positioned within a shoe. The insert is formed of a cushioning material having a plurality of indicator lines.

An orthotic support assembly is disclosed herein that includes an internal device configured to be inserted within a person's footwear. The internal device is formed of a cushioning material and extends from an internal surface at a bottom portion of the footwear to an internal surface of a top portion of the footwear.

An orthotic support assembly is disclosed herein that is configured to be attached to a patient's foot. The support assembly defines a first, internal device and a second, external device. The internal device defines at least a portion that extends to a top of a user's foot when positioned within the external device.

A shoe insert including a central section; a top section; and a bottom section; the central section connected to the top and bottom sections so that the central section is between the top and bottom sections; the top and bottom sections configured to be mirror images of each other; and the central section is configured to be smaller than either the top or bottom sections. The shoe insert may have a first surface and an opposing second surface; each of the central section, the top section, and the bottom section has a first surface which is part of the first surface of the shoe insert; each of the central, top, and bottom section has a second surface which is part of the second surface of the shoe insert; and wherein there is adhesive located on each of the first surfaces of the central, the top section, and the bottom section.

A system for adjusting pressure locally acting on the skin including a set of adjacent modules distributed so as to form a layer each module includes a cushion capable of changing shape and comprising a cavity, a valve, a tank, and a pressure sensor, wherein the cavity and the tank are in communication with each other by means of the valve, and the sensor is placed so as to sense pressure directly or indirectly acting on the cushion and a feedback loop arranged such as to increase or decrease the change in the shape of the cushion on the basis of the pressure detected by the sensor.

A forefoot orthotic device has multiple regions configured so that impact, propulsive or standing forces experienced by the forefoot of the user are accelerated, decelerated, shifted, transferred, or lessened, so as to promote pain reduction or otherwise address or treat conditions of the forefoot. In one implementation, the device includes expanded areas adapted to underlie the first and fifth metatarsal heads and cushion or offload forces therefrom. In still other variations, the device includes a plateau and regions adjacent the plateau and sloping downwardly therefrom, so that the time during which painful regions of the forefoot experience force, such as during gait or standing, is lessened in favor of transferring such forces to adjacent regions which potentially are less in need of treatment or protection from such forces.

An insulating shoe insert including a core layer formed of a cellular material, and a top layer and a bottom layer bonded to opposing sides of the core layer, respectively, the top layer and the bottom layer being configured as thin sheets of aromatic polyamide material such that the top layer and bottom layer cooperate with the core layer to create a heat transfer resistance sufficient to resist transfer of heat through the core layer.

The closed toe shoe cushion is a uniquely formulated soft polymer that is placed in the front toebox of a closed toe higher heel shoe to mitigate and compensate for the forward sliding motion effects of gravity's force to push feet forward and downward causing the problem of heel gap and heel slippage experienced by wearers of higher heel shoes.

The closed toe shoe cushion is made of a polymer that makes the closed toe shoe cushion stay in place inside the toebox of a closed toe shoe and requires no added adhesive. This unique property gives the closed toe shoe cushion the ability to be re-used numerous times in multiple shoes.

The closed Toes Shoe Cushion is durable, does not tear easily and will retain its original form without distortion after each use.
