People tend to pay more attention to shoes, but insoles seem to be more and more forgotten by modern people. In fact, insoles not only help to keep feet dry and clean, but also relieve the pain of soles caused by standing or walking for a long time, and prevent various foot diseases.

There are many kinds of insoles on the market. From the perspective of texture, the common ones are chemical fiber, pure cotton, leather, bamboo and hemp. From the functional point of view, in addition to ordinary insoles, there are insoles with massage, orthopedic and other health care functions. How can I choose a pair of insoles that suit me best?

Many people like leather insoles, which are comfortable and elegant, and are very suitable for people who sweat less on their feet. However, the leather of the leather insole will become stiff after aging, and the leather insole will only absorb odor, not deodorize, and its hygroscopicity is not as good as that of the pure cotton insole. Therefore, it is best for people with sweaty feet and serious foot odor.

Use cotton insoles with good hygroscopicity. If cotton insoles still don't work, try activated carbon insoles or deodorizing sponge insoles. It is best not to use chemical fiber insoles, which have poor hygroscopicity and are easy to generate static electricity, which is harmful to the health. In hot season, friends who sweat more on their feet can choose linen insoles with good hygroscopicity, and friends who sweat less can choose bamboo insoles.

Need to be reminded, don't be overly superstitious about healthy insoles. Take the massage insole as an example. There are dozens of reflex zones on one foot, and the main organs of the human body, such as heart, liver and kidney, have corresponding reflex zones on the foot. However, the massage points on the insole are all "casting nets", which lacks pertinence and its therapeutic effect can be imagined. If you don't wear it properly, it will thicken the skin of your feet and sometimes even have side effects. Diabetic foot is easily caused by vascular neuropathy, and the skin of the foot is easily damaged, and it is not easy to heal after being damaged. Therefore, diabetic patients should avoid using massage insoles, and it is best to use comfortable cotton insoles to avoid plantar skin damage and infection caused by friction of massage insoles.

Orthopedic insoles can correct flat feet and some mild foot deformities, which can reduce the local excessive pressure on the soles of feet caused by foot deformities and slow down foot fatigue. However, orthopedic insoles must be used under the guidance of orthopedic surgeons.

When choosing insoles, we should also pay attention to whether the size is appropriate, otherwise it will also affect the comfort. Insoles should also be washed and changed frequently, so as to avoid bacteria taking advantage of it and inducing foot disease.
