What is arch support?
Arch support is a feature found in conventional shoes or insoles that aims to maintain the curve of the foot's arch, which is formed by bones, tendons, and ligaments. The foot's arch supports your body weight while standing and acts as a natural shock absorber during weight-bearing activities like walking or running.
