Abstract
A padded foot support with a ball of foot depression is a shoe insole designed to alleviate pressure from the second and third metatarsals of a foot by redistributing pressure to the first, fourth and fifth metatarsals. A forefoot depression traverses into the top surface of a pad body made of an elastically compressible material in the second and third metatarsal region, slightly forward and inside of center on the forefoot portion of the pad body.
Claims15
A padded foot support comprising:
- a singular pad body;
- the singular pad body comprising an elastically compressible material and a forefoot portion;
- the elastically compressible material comprising pressure redistribution properties;
- the elastically compressible material being a pressure redistribution material;
- the forefoot portion comprising
- an anterior edge,
- a posterior edge,
- a first lateral edge,
- a second lateral edge,
- a medial portion,
- a top surface,
- a bottom surface and
- a singular forefoot depression;
- the anterior edge and the posterior edge being positioned longitudinally opposite each other on the forefoot portion;
- the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge being positioned laterally opposite each other on the forefoot portion;
- the medial portion being bounded by the posterior edge, the first lateral edge, the anterior edge and the second lateral edge;
- the singular forefoot depression traversing into the top surface without penetrating the bottom surface;
- the singular forefoot depression being positioned on the top surface;
- the singular forefoot depression being located at the medial portion;
- the medial portion comprising a region surrounding the singular forefoot depression;
- the region being substantially of a consistent elevation;
- the forefoot portion comprising a lateral forefoot centerline and a longitudinal forefoot centerline;
- the lateral forefoot centerline being laterally centered on the forefoot portion;
- the longitudinal forefoot centerline being longitudinally centered on the forefoot portion;
- the forefoot portion being divided into four quadrants by the lateral forefoot centerline and the longitudinal forefoot centerline;
- and
- an area of the region surrounding the singular forefoot depression being greater than an area of the singular forefoot depression in each of the four quadrants.
