Felt arch support pads are an inexpensive alternative to treat plantar fasciitis and heel spur syndrome. A felt arch support pad is a soft orthotic made of medical grade 1/4 inch felt. The advantages of a felt arch support are several. Just place the device in a shoe, no need to cast or heat mold an orthotic. The felt will mold over time (usually in two days) to the shape of the foot. This provides superior longitudinal arch control. The 3/4 length provides for extra toe room in the shoe. Since the felt arch support is flexible, there is an ease to modifications. The light weight cotton felt is comfortable in the shoe.
Atlas Biomechanics manufactures arch pads in the USA from medical grade felt. Arch cushions have adhesive on one side. Either apply them to the skin or directly to the shoe.
