Insolia is a patented insole design created by a podiatrist to provide a more comfortable way to wear high-heeled shoes. The design redistributes weight more evenly, allowing women to stand more fully on both heel and toe. Insolia shoes and pads have been a huge success, with over one million pairs sold.
Insolia is a patented insole design created by podiatrist Dr. Howard Dananberg, who wanted to provide a more comfortable way to wear high-heeled shoes. Dananberg has researched the problem and has seen many clients with foot problems from wearing high heels. Although many high heels now come with padding, Dananberg realized that it wasn’t enough to treat the problem. As long as most of the body’s weight rested on the balls of the feet and toes, people would continue to suffer from wearing high heels. To that end, Dananberg designed Insolia, which are now available in select shoes or can be purchased as separate insoles at stores such as CVS® drugstores.
The traditional high-heeled shoe rests a portion of the heel on the top of the shoe, then descends in a straight downward slope, before leveling off on the toes. This straight tilt means that people wearing a high-heeled shoe support most of their weight on their toes, rather than evenly distributed. The padding under your toes can only do so much since they were never meant to carry our full weight.
Insolia differentiates itself by offering a slope that actually curves upward slightly under the arch of the foot before sloping downwards. This redistributes weight more evenly, allowing women to stand more fully on both heel and toe. While the initial design was intended to be inserted into shoes, Insolia liners that could be inserted into shoes women already owned were an even more lucrative venture. Women didn’t want to give up the shoes they already owned, and sanitary pads helped make them more comfortable.
It is clear that Insolia shoes and pads have been a huge success. In the United States, the first shoe brand launched with the Insolia design was Nordstrom’s Amalfi shoe line. Soon Donna Karen New York (DKNY) began producing shoes with the film Insolia. In other countries, the Insolia design is featured in shoes manufactured by Marks & Spencer in England. In Eastern Europe you can find the Insolia design in Bata Shoes.
Qantas airlines were so impressed with the Insolia insoles that they changed their flight attendant uniforms to only feature Insolia shoes. This has made the feet of over 7,000 flight attendants much more comfortable. The Insolia design continues to grow in popularity and is licensed by shoe manufacturers who wish to use it. It is estimated that over one million pairs of Insolia shoes have been sold.
Many of the companies currently featuring Insolia design are designer companies and the shoes can be expensive or hard to find. If you want to try out the features before you buy, consider buying insoles made by Insolia to see how they feel in a pair of shoes you already own. This is a less expensive investment, with the insoles costing around 10 US dollars (USD).
