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 process of making these insole is quite simple . It could be done domestically or even commercially. Companies that have invested in production of these fine goods have outlined a series if steps. First, a material such as cloth is assembled. The material refers to the particular cloth that will be used. Once assembled, an outline is made of a particular shoe that it is meant to serve. The outline will also consider the shoe size.

The cloth is cut by specialized machines. The cutting is done to certain specifications of length, width and thickness considering the human foot.The thickness determines the function meant to be served by the insole. Rigid activities may require thicker insoles as compared to easier activities such as walking.

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.
