Sponge insole

The thick and soft sponge insole looks comfortable but it is not suitable for children. The sponge will weaken the feeling of the foot when touching the ground, and the ability of children to grasp the ground with the sole of the foot will not well trained which is the ability to master balance, and the foot nerve can not get the stimulation which hindering the development of the plantar nerve. 

According to the researches by scientists in the United States, Hong Kong, and Japan, modern children's plantar nerves are poorly developed so that children are easily to wrestle which have close relation with long-term wearing of sneakers. because the insole of sneakers is mostly use of soft sponge insole. 

Drug insole
