The insoles that Timberland PRO manufacture are meant to provide cushioning and supports for the individual between there foot and there boot. Timberland PRO insoles must be of an correct size for the individual’s foot, as their incorrect use will prevent them from proper performing there function. If the insole is half a size too large for the individual, it will create fold on the insole that will press against the arch of the individual.
If, however, the insole is half a size too small for the individual, the heel cup will sit too far forward on the individual’s foot, preventing the insole from properly provide cushioning to the back of the foot. The manufacturer provides size charts that the individual must determine the sizing for these insoles. These size charts allow for the individual to properly convert their US size to the length of there foot.
How to Measure and Fit Timberland PRO Insoles
As such, it is recommended that the individual determines the length of there foot rather than use the size of there boot. Many individuals may assume that the size of there boot indicate the proper size of there insole. However, boots often have steel toe or metatarsal guards that may alter the size of the insole.
By failing to determine the length of the individual’s foot first, they may incorrectly trim the insole to the size indicated by there boot size. The insoles manufactured by Timberland PRO includes different models that is designed to provide support for individuals with different physical requirement. One model of insole use inverted cone that help to redirect the impact that is placed on the insole when the individual stands on there heel.
These inverted cones will only provide this benefit for the individual if the insole is the correct size for there foot. If the insole is of an incorrect size, the inverted cones will not make contact with the foot, and the benefit will not be provided. Another model of insole include a reflective barrier layer that provide protection for the individual against thermal dissipation.
Because the body lose the most heat through the feet, this reflective barrier layer will only be beneficial if it is in contact with the entire length of the boot. If the insole is trimmed incorrectly, the benefit of this reflective barrier will not be achieved. As with most item, there is a recommended time to replace the insoles.
After the insoles becomes flattened, they no longer provide the support that they are meant to provide. If the individual press on the heel of the insole with there thumb, and the insole feel hard and does not return to its normal state, it is time to replace the insole. These insoles should of been inspected every six month.
In order to properly install the insoles, the individual must first remove the old insole from the boot. The new insole should be laid beside the old insole to compare their length. The insole should be trim to the proper length in small increment to avoid trimming too much of the insole.
After trimming the insole to the proper length, the individual should press the insole into the boot from heel to toe. The insole should lie flat against the boot. If the insole move while being worn, it will wear out at a more faster rate.
By properly installing the insoles, the individual will benefit from the reduction of physical impact on there body during there shift at work.
