Modular insole system

Abstract

The modular insole system includes a base pad with a plurality forms releasably connected to the top surface thereof. The forms respectively correspond to orthotic support for the heel, arch, and ball portions of a foot. The forms are preferably releasably connected by hook and loop fastening material to the base pad and are made of foam. The forms are adjustable in any location on the top surface of the base pad to provide a custom configuration for a given user. The base pad and foam forms can be provided in different sizes, foam types, durometer hardness, and the like, and can be mixed and matched as needed to further customize the modular insole system for the given user. The forms have edges that complement each other so the insole can more closely simulate expensive custom insoles that are monolithic even when moved about on the base pad.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular insole system, comprising:
 a base pad having a top surface and a bottom surface;   at least one form, having a bottom surface and a top surface, releasably secured to the top surface of the base pad;   wherein the forms are adjustably secured in any location on the top surface of the base pad, the forms being securable front to back and side to side in a plane parallel to the top surface of the base pad.   
     
     
         2 . The modular insole system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one form is a plurality forms. 
     
     
         3 . The modular insole system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one form is releasably secured to the top surface of the base pad by complementary releasable fastening material. 
     
     
         4 . The modular insole system of  claim 3 , wherein the complementary releasable fastening material is hook material on the base pad and loop material on the at least one form or loop material on the base pad and hook material on the at least one form. 
     
     
         5 . The modular insole system of  claim 3 , wherein the at least on form defines a seat in the bottom surface thereof, releasable fastening material residing therein. 
     
     
         6 . The modular insole system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one form is made of foam. 
     
     
         7 . The modular insole system of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of forms includes a heel form, an arch form and a ball form. 
     
     
         8 . The modular insole system of  claim 7 , wherein the heel form, an arch form and a ball form are configured and arranged to approximately interlock with each other to provide an insole member that simulates orthotic coverage on an entire surface of the base pad.
