Netball is becoming increasingly popular; at the time of writing, there are over 92,000 registered players in the UK alone. It’s a fun yet challenging game that gathers a great sense of camaraderie between its players – and it’s a brilliant way to keep fit, too!
However, like any team sport that requires short, intense movements, netball can take its toll on your body if you don’t take steps to protect it. Here, we discuss how you can combat common aches, pains and injuries by wearing netball insoles in your regular training shoes.
Why is it important to wear insoles when playing netball?
The benefits of our insoles
Slip a pair of OrthoSole insoles into your netball shoes, and you’ll benefit from:
Advanced cushioning
The unique self-customisable metatarsal pieces and arch pads supplied with each pair of insoles – along with the unique PORON® lining – work together to protect your bones, muscles and ligaments from stress and absorb excess shock from impact with the ground.
Customisable support
We’ve developed our products with the mantra ‘one size fits all’ in mind! Our insoles for netball come with a variety of support pads in Light, Medium and Firm thicknesses, which can be combined as you like to achieve a perfect fit and deliver completely tailored support.
Optimised biomechanics
If your feet and ankles are not in perfect alignment, you may experience overpronation or supination – and both of these conditions can increase your chances of injury. Our netball insoles stabilise the ankle joints to bring your entire musculoskeletal system into better balance.
Complete comfort
When the right selection of pads and pieces are used, your OrthoSole insoles should fit seamlessly into your footwear and feel totally unobtrusive. In fact, you will probably forget they are there! The unique fabric will also keep your feet cool, dry and free from odour.
A better performance
It may seem too good to be true, but our insoles can actually work to enhance your performance! They encourage better contact with the bed of the foot, giving you extra power and pace as you’re making your way around the court..
Which OrthoSole products make the best netball insoles?
Any of our insoles will benefit netball players – but for the most effective results, we would recommend our Max Cushion inserts. These products are by far the most robust in our collection.
