Abstract
A dynamic insole that flexes and returns as the plantar fascia flex and return, comprising a medial first windlass-shaped front cutout for great toe phalanges and a lateral second diagonal-shaped front cutout for fourth and fifth toe phalanges, further comprising medial and lateral upwardly-curved side walls wherein a medial side wall comprises a lobe, and made from a first material having a hardness value between 40 Shore A and 90 Shore A.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . A dynamic insole comprising an insole proximal end to be worn adjacent a wearer's leg, an insole distal end, an insole upper surface, an insole lower surface and insole thicknesses, and insole edges where the form-fitted insole upper surface and the insole lower surface meet, wherein the insole further comprises:
a form-fitted insole upper surface that is fitted to contours of a wearer's foot; a first material having a hardness between 40 Shore A and 90 Shore A which enables the insole under a weight of a wearer's foot to deflect downwards from an original position and then return back to the original position; insole thicknesses tapering down into the insole edges; a medial arch support; a deep heel cup; a flat heel portion in the insole lower surface; a medial upwardly-curved side wall and a lateral upwardly-curved side wall for cradling a foot; a lobe for widening the insole, wherein the lobe extends from the medial upwardly-curved side wall; a first windlass-shaped cutout at the insole distal end that reveals metatarsal heads I and II; a second diagonal-shaped cutout for fourth and fifth toe phalanges that reveals metatarsal heads III, IV and V; and an insole distal end tongue between and formed by the first and second cutouts, the insole distal end tongue comprising a flat lower surface.
2 . The insole of claim 1 , wherein the first material is dual-density ethylene-vinyl acetate foam.
3 . The insole of claim 1 , wherein the first material has a hardness value of 45 Shore A.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
