Shoe system with a resilient shoe insert

A method of making a shoe system having a resilient shoe insert, comprising:

• providing a shoe having an upper rim section and a shoe sole disposed inside the shoe, a shoe insert having a stiff first member and a resilient second member attached to the first member, a first compressible material being disposed between the first and second members, the compressible material having a first hardness, the first member being disposed a distance (X) from the upper rim and a distance (A) from a bottom side of the shoe sole;
• putting a load (L) on the shoe;
• compressing the second member towards the first member while maintaining the first member at the distance (X) from the upper rim and reducing the distance (A) to a distance (B), the distance (A) being greater than the distance (B),
• removing the first compressible material;
• and
• inserting a second compressible material having a second hardness, the second material being harder and stiffer than the first material.
