1. arch support

   A removable shoe insert, otherwise known as a foot orthosis, insole or inner sole accomplishes many purposes, including daily wear comfort, height enhancement, plantar fasciitis treatment, arch support, foot and joint pain relief from arthritis, overuse, injuries, leg length discrepancy, and other causes such as orthopedic correction and athletic performance. Medical use of foot orthoses has been criticized as lacking evidence of benefit, and practice is very inconsistent: reputed podiatrists prescribe completely different orthoses for a single patient. Further, effect of a given design of orthosis varies significantly by patient, and standard practice to personalize prescription is not available. However, evidence is mixed: patients often report at least short-term improvements in comfort, and other studies have found effectiveness.

1. arch support

   Arch support refers to the structural support provided by footwear or inserts to alleviate discomfort or prevent injuries associated with the foot's arch, which spans from the ball of the foot to the heel. It is particularly beneficial for people with flat feet or high arches, helping to distribute weight evenly across the foot, improve balance, and prevent conditions like plantar fasciitis or other foot-related problems.

1. Arch support

   An arch support is a piece of material designed to provide support for the arch of the foot. An arch support may be placed on top of the shoe's insole, or may be part of the insole. It is placed inside a shoe so that its molded form fits the arch of the foot. Arch supports are frequently made from plastic, aiming to be flexible enough to provide comfort and rigid enough to provide support. The material can be custom made to fit individual feet using a medical foot casting system. Alternatively, generic shapes and sizes can be purchased based on foot size and arch height. Arch supports are most commonly found in shoes, but sandals such as Birkenstock are also produced with a degree of built-in arch support.

Examples of arch support in a Sentence

1. Atlanta OB-GYN Dr. Katherine Babaliaros:

   Unfortunately, people's arches don't come back after pregnancy, other than wearing shoes with good arch support, there's nothing you can do about the sort of laxity and spreading of the bones.

2. Elizabeth Sneed:

   OluKai sandals have been my favorite flip flop for over a decade, the Ohana shoe is the perfect choice for water people and beachgoers. They’re water-resistant sandals that feel incredibly comfortable on the foot with a noticeably soft nylon sole, which is also great for traction once they’re wet. They also provide arch support ! I easily keep each of my OluKai sandals for over five years because of their comfort, quality and versatility.
