Bridge Soles - 3/4 Length Insoles with Met Pad

Bridge Soles are designed specifically to take pressure off neuromas and other forefoot problems, as well as Plantar Fasciosis (formerly Plantar Fasciitis), and the Achilles Tendon. In addition, Bridge Soles are great for pulling pressure off of the lower calves which makes them an ideal tool for helping people transition from traditional shoes to more natural and/or zero drop footwear. Bridge Soles are designed to be a bridge to help relax and take pressure off the foot and lower leg while they adapt to a stronger, healthier state so they are no longer needed

How do they work?

1) Metatarsal Pad helps reduce forefoot pressure while encouraging natural alignment

2) Soft, Flexible Arch allows the arch to relax

3) Deep Heel Cup comfortably reduces heel pressure

= Together, the Triple Adapt support areas comfortably reduce the body’s “landing response” & help the foot and lower leg to stay more relaxed, pulling pressure off those areas while they are adapting and  strengthening. 

Dampening the body’s landing response system is far more effective than simply adding a heel lift for pulling pressure off the heel, Achilles, or for adapting to lower drop shoes. This allows a more seamless transition, without the need to drastically reduce training. Bridge Soles are ideally intended to be worn under your existing insoles for a few days to a max of a few months at a time, and then kept around until they are needed again. 

SIZING:  

If you are between sizes, consider sizing down to a smaller size if you are using purely for a met pad or other applications where you don't want the met pad coming up under the met heads at all. However, the front half of the met pad is built to break down after some wear, so  you'll likely be fine either way ;)

Specs:
-Weight: 0.5oz (S) – 0.8oz (XL)
-Heel thickness = 10mm
-Met Pad thickness = 8mm
-Drop from heel to tip of insole = 8mm
-Drop from heel to Met Pad = 2mm
-Functional drop from heel to forefoot (weighted): 4mm
-Heel is softer and is designed to break down faster so it will slowly reduce to a drop of 1mm to 0mm after approximately 100 hours of wear, where it will stay.
