Accommodative foot orthoses designed to fill the space between the shoe insole and the user\'s foot, providing comfort and some degree of foot control but without applying corrective forces. These orthoses typically consist of a custom-made device made of several layers of materials with different characteristics (e.g., plastics, plastic foams) with a shape and size appropriate for the user. Shoe inserts are intended for pain relief by providing cushioning and pressure relief to the foot (e.g., to prevent foot ulcers). They are frequently used by patients with vascular diseases or neuropathies of the lower limbs.
