Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a shoe insole made of thermoplastic urethane (TPU) that helps users by providing better support and comfort. TPU is a durable and flexible material that can withstand extended use and has been shown to be more effective than other materials used in prior art. The insole also has a plantar channel to provide tension relief to the foot's plantar fascia, which can help alleviate pain caused by overpronation. The insole's shape at the heel prevents the tissues from spreading and thinning out the cushioning layer, which can lead to heel pain. Overall, this invention provides a better shoe experience for a variety of users.
