Steel Shank Shoe Inserts for Forefoot Injuries
Steel full stabilizer plate rigid insoles, half-length, and full length are used to stiffen the shoe’s insole. This will limit the range of motion of the forefoot and midfoot. Doing so will make the shoe non-flexible. These steel shank shoe inserts (either 1/2 or full length) will limit the dorsiflexion at the metatarsal joints. Immobilizing the forefoot and metatarsal joints prevent the joints from bending during walking and sports. They can also be used for puncture resistant insoles.
There are two types of steel shank shoe inserts.
1. Steel 1/2 Stabilizer Plate Rigid Insoles, Half Length
2. Steel Stabilizer Plates Insoles, Full Length
