Invented in Australia by leading podiatrists, Lightfeet Insoles are designed to promote the foots natural Windlass function, which helps improve shock absorption and ensure a solid lever for “toe off.” The secret is in the pronounced arch groove that holds the plantar fascia (connective band of tissue from heel to base of toes) in its proper position, preventing arch and heel pain. Combined with rearfoot support, these insoles help correct poor foot posture, which takes the strain off your muscles and joints.
What is the Windlass Function?
The Windlass Function naturally occurs as your toes flex during walking / running, and the plantar fascia (soft connection tissue) is pulled tighter. When put under too much stress, the fascia stretches, causing intense heel and arch pain.
