What is the advantage of correcting the forefoot?
The advantage is that forefoot correction works throughout the full gait cycle. It is simple and uses small dimensions so there is no need for bulky supports. Whenever the foot is trying to over-pronate, the big toe is looking for the ground. Posture Control InsolesĀ® gives the first metatarsal and big toe better ground contact earlier in the gait cycle.
The advantage is that this correction really works. It is simple and uses small dimensions so there is no need for bulky supports. Even while walking, the amount of heel contact is very brief. As walking turns to running and sprinting heel contact is virtually eliminated. Jumping and landing from jumps is all about forefoot control. Forefoot control works through the full gait cycle. Remember: Whenever the foot is trying to over-pronate, the big toe is looking for the ground.
