Provided is a method for producing a shoe, the method including; arranging a first shoe member and a second shoe member to form an interface through direct contact therebetween, indirect contact with a bonding aid member interposed therebetween, or a combination of the direct contact and the indirect contact, and arranging a conductive material at a position at which the interface can be heated; and inductively heating the conductive material to add heat to the interface and thereby bond the first shoe member and the second shoe member to each other.

A sockliner assembly can comprise a sockliner and one or more cables. The sockliner can have an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface extending between the upper and lower surfaces and defining a peripheral edge of the sockliner. The first cable can have a first attached cable segment and a first free cable segment. The first attached cable segment can be coupled to the sockliner. The first free cable segment can extend from the first attached cable segment and can extend beyond the peripheral edge of the sockliner.

An apparatus for moulding shoe insoles onto a foot, having a moulding pad arranged on a support and forming a foot-accommodating region. The moulding pad may have a flexible membrane for supporting the insoles so that insoles can be moulded on without assistance and independently of a standing or sitting position of the user. The flexible membrane may be connected to a bearing surface of the support via a foot-bearing-point fixing means, and a filling region for a fluid for moulding the insole onto the foot between the membrane and the bearing surface may be provided.

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.
