The Role Of Custom Footbeds

By Eliza Mendoza


Custom Footbeds are pieces of clothing that are put on the upper part of the sole. This upper part is where the feet rest. The making of these dates back to history when early people placed pieces of rag on the soles. They did these to improve the comfort of the shoes. Modern man has replaced these rags with other smaller and smarter designs of cloths.

These insoles have been produced by various companies. Other companies specify in producing a particular insole for a particular activity whereas others produce a variety. They vary in colors and the fabric making it. The colors could be white, red, yellow or even pink. The fabric used to make them includes cotton, velvet, leather or even nylon. The element used to make it goes a long way to determine the price of a particular insole.

The design is then created by a team of experts. The design includes the shape, color and size of an insole. The size of an insole depends on the size of the shoe intended to be fit into. The shape of the color could be white, green or even black. The type of color should match with the color of a given shoe. The material is simply died to the particular required color.

By use of sharp blades, the specialized machines cut the textile into the shape for example a sigmoid shape. The cutting exercise is fast. The cutting is done to many fabric pieces.

In the case of machine made products, the process is basically the same. The fabrics are gathered and put together. The material is ensured to be of good quality by a team of experts. Thereafter, it is introduced into the next exercise. This involves coming up with a design just as it was with the domestic made. The blueprint will include the color, thickness and the texture of the insole. The blueprint is then fed to machines which will cut the material into the specifications.

These insoles are used for many functions. The velvet used to make the insole helps to act as a protective for the top skin of the foot sole. The fabric helps also to absorb sweat or moisture around the toes. It is known that this sweat could cause athletes foot which happens to be a fungal infection. It protects the foot sole by acting as a pad. This ensures that it reduces the impact during injuries or accidents.
