KLM’s
System Rx is a uniquely designed, semi rigid, over-the-counter,
orthotic style arch support. System Rx Orthotics are constructed
from 4mm thick polypropylene plastic but what really differentiates
this brand from almost every other over-the-counter orthotic style
arch support is that the System Rx shells are available in multiple
arch heights and multiple widths. This single brand of orthotic
style arch supports can provide corrective support to a wider range
of foot types and foot shapes than any other single brand can do.
|
|
System Rx Orthotics have
one of the deepest heel cups of any orthotic style arch support
available. This is an important feature because the deepened (and
rounded) heel cup cradles the heel and adds rear foot support, thus
increasing the arch support’s ability to control over pronation
and support the entire foot (and not just the arch). System Rx Orthotics
truly help the foot to operate in its most optimal manner.

Plastic orthotic style arch supports costing upwards of $200.00
or more don't offer any more support than these KLM System
Rx orthotic style arch supports.

System Rx Orthotics were
developed by KLM Labs, a leading manufacturer of custom made foot
orthotics. They were designed by studying the plaster casts of the
many custom made orthotics they have produced for doctors and patients.
KLM Labs studied the relationship between the neutral casts taken
by podiatrists and the corrected orthotics produced for their patients.
This data was then fed into a computer and was used to design a
series of over-the-counter orthotics which can accommodate the needs
of up to 70% of individuals needing functional foot orthotics. System
Rx Orthotics are an effective solution for people seeking serious
foot care management at an affordable price.

Option
1 - $ 7.95 - Feet Relief Flat Cushion Insole -
Proudly Made in the USA
Order
with your arch supports from the menu on this page.
These
are recomended for the KLM in the medium or
wide width
The Feet
Relief flat cushion insole. This is a 1/8th inch thick layer of a
unique foam material called enlighten-u®. Enlighten-u® is
an open cell microcellular polyurethane foam. The open cell design
of this foam means that each tiny bubble chamber is interconnected
to the bubbles around it. This allows for an effective transfer of
air and perspiration away from the foot and results in a cool and
dry shoe environment. Also, enlighten-u® has excellent tensile
strength and resistance to compression so the insoles are extremely
durable. Feet Relief flat cushion insoles are treated with an anti
microbial additive to protect against order-causing bacteria and keep
your shoes smelling fresh.

Option
2 - $8.39 - Spenco Flat Cushion Cover
Order with your arch supports from the menu on this page.
These
are recomended for the KLM in the narrow width
The Spenco® Flat Cushion Insole - This is the classic green insole
that Spenco® has been producing for years. It features a layer
of closed cell nitrogen injected (black) foam that is non-porous and
really withstands compression. The foam is covered with a green 4-way
stretch nylon that helps reduce friction and heat build up that cause
blisters, corns and calluses. The closed cell design of the Spenco®
insole means it's not porous so it won't absorb odor causing bacteria.
The Spenco® insole doesn't breathe the same way the Feet Relief
insole does but it is very comfortable and has soft, bouncy feel to
it.

Additional
Information about System
Rx Orthotic Style Arch Supports
|
Semi-Rigid
Even though System Rx orthotic style arch supports are considered
semi rigid by comparison to truly rigid custom made plastic orthotics
they are still considerably more rigid than most other over the
counter arch supports and orthotics. Most people will not be able
to bend or flex the System Rx arch supports more than a few millimeters
using only their bare hands. The System Rx orthotic style arch supports
are designed to flex but only under the full weight of the body
weight. This is why they work so well. |
Break
In Period
Due to the semi rigid nature of these arch supports some people will
find that they take a little getting used to and may at first feel
a little unusual or even a little uncomfortable. A little cramping
in various muscles of the foot or lower ankle when the arch supports
are new and you have been wearing them for a while, is normal and
should go away in anywhere from a couple days to a couple of weeks.
If this happens just take the arch supports off let the feet rest
and try them again later. The length of time of the break in period
largely depends on how flat the feet are or how much the arch has
fallen. The more the arch has fallen the more the arch support lifts
the bones of the arch and lower ankle, shifting their positions and
limiting their range of motion. In the case of a person with a medium
to high arch that has fallen and is now completely flat the amount
of repositioning of the bones of the foot can be really dramatic so
it can take a little longer for the foot to adjust to the feel of
wearing the arch supports. |
Treating
Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain)
The System Rx orthotic style arch supports are extremely effective
at treating Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain). To get the best results
follow these instructions. After a brief break in period and when
it is comfortable to do so, start wearing the arch supports all the
time from the first step out of bed in the morning to the last step
into bed at night. This will keep the arch from being fully flexed
and take the strain of the Plantar Fascia tissue so it can heal. It
is really important to avoid going barefoot. Spending even limited
amounts of time running around the house barefoot can set back days
of healing. It is also important to keep some shoes or slippers by
the bed with the arch supports in them. When you get up in the morning
or during the night, put on the shoes or slippers with the arch supports
in them and avoid going barefoot. Also, if you are the type that likes
to shower right when they get up in the morning you should first spend
about 15 minutes in your shoes and arch supports before you shower.
This allows the Plantar Fascia tissue to warm up and stretch out slowly
and gently with out retearing it. After several weeks as the symptoms
subside you can ease off the strict regiment of not going barefoot
and just wear the arch supports during the day or generally whenever
you’re on your feet. |
