A corrective insole having a bottom part including a posterior molded part formed at the position corresponding to the calcaneus, an anterior height part and a skinned part. The anterior height part is formed at a position corresponding to the head of the fifth metatarsal bone. The corrective insole is configured to have a minimal difference in height between the tip and the heel of the corrective insole or the tip is slightly higher than the heel to shift the wearer's body weight to the back when the wearer is in a standing position. The skinned part has a boundary protrusion part, which is formed between the posterior molded part and the anterior height part, configured to shift the wearer's body weight to the outside and scatter the wearer's body weight along the lateral side of the corrective insole.

An insole combination, comprising an inner insole, an outer insole, and at least one stimulating medium. The inner insole has a plurality of first engaging portions, one upper surface, and a plurality of mark regions, which respectively correspond to a plurality of plantar reflexology areas. The outer insole has a plurality of second engaging portions, and the inner insole is accommodated in the outer insole. The stimulating medium is accommodated between the inner insole and the outer insole, and has one first holding end and one second stimulation end to perform a stimulating effect on the pelma.

Unique pads, called cuboid lifts, cuboid inserts, or balance-enhancing textured insoles, prevent falls and improve balance by producing site-specific stimulation of different types of cutaneous receptors located along the outer sides of the foot. These cutaneous receptors play a key role in maintaining balance. The outer placement also makes them important in preventing lateral falls, which are far and away the most likely to result in injury. Domes on the upper side of the cuboid inserts increase feedback from the cutaneous receptors as the center of pressure of the person wearing the cuboid inserts moves too far to the outer side of the midfoot. These cuboid inserts are also helpful when managing ankle sprains, as this common injury frequently results in impaired balance.

Systems and methods for providing a golf shoe comprising a heel cup with an asymmetrical padding configuration to reduce foot movement during a golf swing. The asymmetrical padding configuration may include one or more heel pads that fit the contour of the heel area of the wearer's foot to provide proper support and fit to a golfer to reduce the voids of space that normally occur around the heel portion in a shoe. The support may lead to a better fit for increased comfort and more stability during the golf swing by reducing foot movement during the swing. The heel pad(s) may be provided between an outer and inner layer of material forming the shoe's upper and may be made of a variety of different materials that may give different stiffness and comfort to the heel area of the wearer's foot. In some examples, the shoe may be waterproof.

A flexible shoe snugging fitment is oblong with a thickness providing pad that is carried on top of a foot, preferably held in place against the foot with hosiery, which underlies and spaces a top part, e.g., vamp, of an article of footwear, e.g., shoe or boot, from the foot snugging the footwear on the foot improving fit and helping prevent relative movement therebetween. A preferred fitment is oblong and transversely oriented relative to a lengthwise fore-aft extent of the foot. Fitment has a central portion from which flaps extend oppositely outwardly that each extend around part of a corresponding side of the foot helping to prevent side-to-side relative movement between the foot and footwear worn on the foot. One preferred fitment is an assembly with a smaller adjuster pad slidably received in a pocket in a pad carrier with the pad extendable to adjust thickness and width of the assembly.

A variable friction shoe includes a midsole and an outsole. The outsole includes at least a first high-friction surface and at least a first low-friction surface, wherein the first low-friction surface remains prominent if vertical ground reaction forces (GRFs) are low and wherein the high-friction surface is prominent in response to increasing GRFs.
