Standing or walking for long periods of time on the job affects your knees, hips and back over the long term. Feet are the weight-bearing foundation of the body, so selecting the right type of insoles and footwear that fit correctly and offer the support you need can proactively help reduce musculoskeletal injuries.
In order to select the right type of insoles and footwear, it is important to determine what type of foot you have. Feet can be classified into three categories: medium or normal arched (60-65%), low arched or flat feet (20-25%), and high arched (10-15%).
