At the same time, the insole must provide good support and stability to the feet, play a shock absorption role in movement, and avoid various injuries caused by long-term movement.

2. it has good air permeability and moisture conductivity. The foot sweats more, and the foot bacteria breed, which reduces the comfort of the foot environment. A suitable insole has good air permeability and moisture conductivity, improves the warm and humid environment in the shoes, inhibits the propagation and growth of bacteria, and keeps the feet dry and clean.

3. Promote foot blood circulation. The use of insoles for foot health care promotes good health and blood circulation. This facilitates long-lasting movement of the feet and relieves fatigue.
