“…In general, a few factors have been considered, including shape, material and thickness. Different shapes have been evaluated, such as those of custom-made insoles (Bus et al, 2004;Cheung & Zhang, 2008), total contact inserts (Chen et Hayda et al, 1994), arch pads (Ashry et al, 1997) and heel cups (Lee & Hong, 2005). Cheung & Zhang (2008) found that custom-made support is more effective, but might be highly individualized with the differences in foot structure.…”
