Orthotics for cleats and other footwear
used in turf sports are unique in their
design. Most turf sport footwear is very
snug fitting. The inside of the shoe is
rarely flat and, although the sock liner may
be removable, it is usually quite thin
making it difficult to insert anything
inside the shoe. Foot orthotics for these
types of shoe needs to be very low volume,
flexible enough to compliment the shoes, and
supportive enough to be effective. The
extreme activities often performed in this
footwear require the foot orthotic design to
be highly durable and reconditionable.
Common foot problems associated with turf
sports are heel pain, Achilles tendon
strain, pain in the ball of the foot (metatarsalgia),
turf toe and knee pain. |
