WHY eSoles®? : Benefits

eSoles® custom footbeds are a quality of life investment for work, play and everyday life. eSoles® footbeds are designed with two things in mind; You and your Life. Experience a difference in the quality of your work, play and sports by aligning your feet and body with eSoles custom footbeds.

Life in alignment is better; leave the "old" you and the discomfort behind. Your feet are the foundation that align or misalign the whole body. eSoles® footbeds turn back the clock, re-align your feet, and help you feel better and perform better.

  • Work all day on your feet without discomfort.
  • Play a full round of golf feeling great start to finish.
  • Hike, run, cycle, ski or walk with less foot, knee or back pain.
  • Perform better in any competitive or recreational sport.
  • Shop at the mall all day and feel great afterwards.
  • Reduce or eliminate existing pain in the feet, knees and back.

Joints and Alignment

Every mechanical part that rotates or moves against other parts inevitably wears due to friction produced on contact. Our joints are no different. The feet are responsible for aligning several of the most important joints in the body. The alignment of the knees and the hips depend on how the feet are aligned. eSoles® custom footbeds ensure a better alignment and prevent unnecessary joint wear and you will feel better as a result.

Foot Facts

Life is a constant series of stresses and loads that the body reacts and adapts to. Sport, work, play, injury and aging increases the cumulative daily stress on the feet and body.

A 170 pound person that performs 8,000 steps per day experiences 1,000 tons of pressure on their feet per day.

A 150 pound person distributes 75 pounds onto each foot while standing.

Walking increases the pressure to 180 pounds on each foot per step.

Jogging increases the pressure to 300 pounds on each foot per step.

Sprinting or lifting can exert 400+ pounds on each foot per step.

The majority of the weight is often concentrated in an area the size of a postage stamp.

The foot accounts for 3% of the body's weight yet it must support and control the other 97% of the body's weight.

Reduced injury risk - Feel better

When the foot, knee and hip are in better alignment, overuse injuries are reduced due to greater biomechanical efficiency.

Injury due to impacts, physical contact, uneven surfaces and activities associated with sprains and strains are reduced due to superior balance and alignment.

Injuries due to musculoskeletal imbalances are reduced or eliminates due to the ability to better align the ankle, knee, hips and pelvis.

Improved comfort - Perform better

In cycling, preliminary data indicates >10% power increase in maximal power and significant gains in average sustained power output. (Wingate protocol)

In all field and court based sports, there are significant balance, injury and fatigue reduction benefits.

In running there is a significant positive change in the ability to handle training loads without discomfort or injury and an increase in biomechanical efficiency associated with superior alignment.

In golf, studies indicate significant differences in club head speed (7%) and positive balance and comfort changes.
