Support for collapsed transverse arch – relief and support for the forefoot
A collapsed transverse arch means that the front of the foot sinks and widens. When the arch loses its elasticity, pressure increases on the heads of the metatarsal bones, which can lead to pain, tenderness, and a burning sensation in the ball of the foot. The condition often develops gradually and worsens with long walks or wearing shoes with thin soles.
Here you will find insoles, metatarsal insoles, and relieving supports that can contribute to better pressure distribution, reduced strain, and increased comfort in everyday life – selected by our licensed physiotherapist.
