ShockBlockers Visco-Elastic Cushioning Layer Spreads Comfort
Another common complaint about insole inserts is the tendency for the formation of painful “hot spots” on the bottom of the feet. What the brain records as a “hot spot” is actually a localized loss of capillary blood flow known as ischemia.
Most insole inserts are made from materials that are resilient (spring-like) in nature. It is this attribute that can cause the ischemic condition.
ShockBlockers® Insole Inserts feature a polymer that reads the temperature and pressure of the foot. The polymer reconfigures its molecular structure to mold to the foot, dramatically increasing the supported area.
Conclusion from Lab Test Report:
“The pressure map shows a visual representation of the pressure gradient on the foot during a single step. Red areas are the high pressure and blue areas are low.” [High pressure on any area of the foot, whether standing, walking or running is a primary cause of foot injury.]
“On the ShockBlockers® VKP [ShockBlockers® WORK/SPORT Insole Inserts] pressure map there is a significant improvement…”*
