shoes Insoles do I need them?

Shoe insoles are inserts for shoes, that correct any impediment in your walking pattern or discrepancy in the leg length. Shoes Insoles are not just “fallen arch supports,” although some are. They perform many functions, by slightly altering the angle at which the foot strikes the ground, insoles make standing, walking, and running much more comfortable and a lot more efficient. Shoe insoles can be manufactured in many different materials, silicone, leather, foam even wood, silicone being the most widely used, due to it's form retaining properties, being both strong, durable and elasticated not to mention inexpensive. Shoe Insoles, also known as foot orthotics offer pain relief to sufferers of many ailments, such as flat feet, foot, leg, heel, or shin pain, shoe insoles can, in a great many circumstances, offer a better quality of life. Shoe insoles can help if you suffer any of the following ailments, Achilles Tendonitis, Corns, Metatarsalgia, Sesamoiditis, Ankle Sprains, Flat Feet, Neuroma, Tendonitis, Arch Pain, Heel Pain, Pronation, Top of the foot pain, Bunions, Knee Pain, Shin Pain,Toe Pain.
 Almost anyone, from children to adults, can benefit from shoe insoles. Insoles can alleviate many common foot problems that cause pain and discomfort in otherwise healthy people. An analogy can be made between orthotics (shoe insoles) and eyeglasses, both devices adjust problems that can impair physical function.
 To understand how orthotics work, it is important to understand the actual mechanics of walking. With each step, the heel ideally should land first on the ground, From there, the foot begins to flatten and then comes off the ground at the toes. So, during each step, weight shifts from heel to toes. Shoe insoles control how the foot strikes the ground, absorb shock, and reduce stress in the foot. Walking is actually a complex process in which many things can go wrong. If a structural problem is present, the foot can collapse under the body's weight. Over time, stress on the feet can result in deformities. One of the foot's main functions is shock absorbtion, it does this through a complex process in which the arch of the foot flattens slightly. This absorbs and distributes the weight throughout the entire foot. There are two major problems that can occur. The first problem occurs when the arch does not flatten at all. This typically occurs in a person with a high arch, called a cavus foot. Because the arch does not flatten, it absorbs shock poorly. Instead of spreading the weight throughout the entire foot, this can cause pain in the knees, hips, and lower back.To correct this condition, an orthotic (shoe insole) is used to adjust and even out the contact between the foot and the ground. This allows the entire foot to support the weight of the body. A different problem results when the arch flattens too much. This is known as a planus or flatfoot. A flatfoot is unstable and cannot maintain a proper arch. Over time, the weight of the body on an unstable foot can cause the bones of the foot to become misaligned. This can lead to the development bunions, hammertoes and other foot deformities, as well as knee and lower back pain.To address this problem, an orthotic with an increased arch can be used to distribute the weight evenly. Using shoe insoles offers support, stability, cushioning, and the necessary alignment to keep the feet, ankles, and lower body comfortable, healthy, and pain-free. Height increasing insoles or heel lifts can also be used to correct any discrepancy in leg length, caused by injury or natural growth ailments, inserted into the shoe, they can either increase your height or as stated above, correct any difference in leg length, great for vanity too.
 Whether you are an athlete, a policeman, soldier, housewife or just spend all day on your feet, shoe Insoles give you pain relief and the comfort to enjoy your life.

Women - Can you Recommend a Very Comfortable Extra-Wide EE size 8.5 leather shoe for work?

Hi there - I am a size 8.5 EE and I have a very large bunion on my right foot (on the side of my big toe). I actually need orthotics. I have tried on Ecco shoes (No good for me), Aravon (also no good), Birkenstocks (the Braga came the closest in a size 40), as well as a bunch of other brands.

I am wondering if anyone knows of a brand of shoe that is good for really wide feet. I need them for work - I work in retail in a Jewelry store and dress code is formal attire (suit and such).

I am looking for a shoe that is closed on the toe (I will settle for a lace up if I absolutely must), is leather and prefer no heals (but dont mind a 2-3" heal as long as it is a thick heel that is as wide as the shoe - no narrow ones).

Can the ladies out there (even if you are not a size 8.5) recommend a good quality COMFORTABLE shoe??? Thanks.
