Which insole for me?
currex' patented analysis-concept: We make biomechanics simply convincing.
Each currex insole models comes in three profiles. This is how you'll find your perfect one: Just determine your foot profile and leg axis with this simple test.
Test step 1: Determine your Foot type
- A: High arched foot - Only the heel and ball of foot are visable.
- B: Medium arched foot - The foot is evently balanced.
- C: Low arched foot - The inner arch is sunken, the imprint in the middle is wider compared to a medium arched foot.
- D: Flat arched foot - The inner arch is almost flat, so that you can see the total foot imprint.
Test step 2: Check your static leg axis
- 1: Bow-legs - At least two fingers fit between the knees when ankles are together.
- 2: Straight legs - The knees almost touch when the ankles are together.
- 3: Knock-knees - At least two fingers fit between the ankles when knees are together
Test step 3: The Results
- A1, A2, B1, B2: Supination to Neutral: Use the HIGH ARCH - meaning the blue - FOOTDISC insole. Works best for your needs in a neutral shoe.
- A3, B3, C1, C2, D1: Neutral to Overpronation: The MED ARCH - meaning the orange - FOOTDISC insole works perfect for your foot and ankle complex. Use a shoe with a slight medial posting and you'll feel the most effect.
- C3, D2, D3: Overpronation: The LOW ARCH - this is the red - protects your foot and ankle joint from soft tissue overuse. Insert the red insole into a shoe with a medial support to maximize the outcome.
