Perfect arch support will vary from person to person, according to the foot type. For flat feet, very mild arch support is necessary. For high arches, steep arch support (1 to 3 inches) is ideal.
Adaptive Cushioning
Adaptive cushioning is very comfortable and will keep your entire foot padded, reducing pain. Memory foam and cork are some of the best types of cushioning, adapting to the unique shape of your feet.
Raised Heel Cups
A slight heel lift is ideal for those with hammer toe, as it helps to keep your toes straight.
Metatarsal Support
Metatarsal support usually comes in the form of a ridge that lifts and slightly separates the toes from one another. This takes the pressure off the toes and ball of foot area.
A Toe Strap
Many foot doctors will recommend using a toe splint or brace to align the hammer toe. Some insoles have included a toe strap for this very purpose, giving a great 2-in-1 effect. Just remember to be gentle with your claw toes. Mild stretches and toe exercises may be needed first before a toe strap can be implemented.
