Plantar Fasciitis Case Study

Improved Essays
Recommended for:
Insoles for people with high arches and designed for high-intensity and high-impact workouts. They provide the necessary arch support to treat the plantar fasciitis condition. In case you are flat footed, I suggest you examine these other inserts.

Summary:
The Spenco Polysorb insoles are ideal for those with high arches who suffer from plantar fasciitis or any other foot pain. Their name comes from the type of activity they target. The ones we are reviewing in this article are the Cross Trainer models, and they were designed for high-intensity and high-impact workouts.

This review is special for me since I'm writing it in honor of my grandparents. When they learned about my work in FeetSavior.com, my grandparents decided

These stats speak of the superb quality of the Spenco Polysorb Cross Trainer. However, a few of the reviewers point out that these insoles are so thick at the heel that they don't fit in their cross trainers. This is a matter to consider, even if several of them forgot to remove the factory inserts that came with their shoes before adding the fresh ones. To avoid this problem, I would suggest you try the insoles with your shoes before purchasing them.
Alternatives
These are various other insoles with similar characteristics to the Spenco Polysorb Cross Trainer, that may be of your interest:
Superfeet Orange Insoles
Spenco Polysorb Total Support
Conclusion
The Spenco Polysorb Cross Trainer are reasonably reliable insoles for the price you are paying. That stated they don't provide as much comfort and shock absorption for high arched feet as the Superfeet GREEN or the ORANGE ones. If you can afford to spend a little extra money, I would choose the Superfeet insoles without a doubt.

    The mock press release from The Onion satirizes how products are marketed to customers by hyperbolizing the advertisement along with the featured customers’ reaction to the product. “‘What makes MagnaSoles different from other insoles is the way it harnesses the power of magnetism to properly align the biomagnetic field around your foot.’” This statement seems like the advertisers are trying to ‘hype’ up the product, hyperbolizing it so that these MagnaSoles appear more than they actually are. “Only MagnaSoles utilize the healing power of crystals to restimulate dead foot cells with vibration biofeedback…” definitely exaggerates the abilities of the soles; furthermore, these hyperboles satirize real commercials.

    Injury Rates among Long Term Minimally Shod Runners Numerous studies have examined how standard shod runners transitioning into minimal shoes experienced changes in their landing kinematics, foot musculature, and arch conformation (Miller, Whitcome, Lieberman, Norton, & Dyer, 2014). Although many studies show how standard shoes can negatively affect feet musculature, arch conformation, and change landing, no studies show whether transitioning into minimal shoes actually leads to less injury. Minimal running shoes mimic barefoot running form, which is thought to have occurred through millions of years of natural selection enabling humans to run barefoot and survive (Daoud, Geissler, Wang, Saretsky, Daoud, & Lieberman, 2012). The standard…

    Sometimes, as we age, some parts of our body lose the ability to properly function. In our ankles, the bones and cartilage can break down, causing major discomfort and pain. The most major cause of this is ankle arthritis, when the gliding surface of the talus bone is worn down, and no longer has a smooth surface for joint motion. The ensuing friction between the talus bone and the fibula and tibia bones causes the discomfort and pain. While this isn’t a reversible problem, it is treatable.…

    In Willems et al’s study of proprioception deficits among athletes with high rates of recurring lateral ankle sprains, they found that almost all of their subjects tended to under shoot the needed ankle during the test (Willems et al., 2002). In this study they had 4 groups of athletes to study. The control group were individuals who had no prior ankle injuries (Willems et al., 2002). The Instability group were individuals that had suffered from more than three inversion sprains and complained of instability (Willems et al., 2002). The third group had sustained one to three ankle sprains in the past two years, but did not complain of instability (Willems et al., 2002).…
