Who May Benefit From Arch Support Safety Boots?
Some feet retain a visible arch without weight on them, but the arch lowers and the foot rolls inward when standing. Arch support safety boots are intended for this type of load-related arch movement.
Limiting the Inward Roll
An orthotic insole supports beneath the arch, raising it and limiting how far the foot rolls towards the inside. The support does not stop normal movement; it reduces the amount of collapse under body weight.
Reducing the Work Done by the Foot
When the arch lowers less, the joints, ligaments and muscles have less movement to control during each step. For workers with this foot type, that reduction in strain may improve comfort across the working day.
