If your feet tilt inward or you have foot pain for another reason, shoe inserts may help tame discomfort.

The American Podiatric Medical Association says types of shoe inserts include:

• Arch supports to help counter high or low arches.
• Plastic, gel or foam inserts that provide cushioning and support.
• Heel cups, pads or liners that cushion the heels, particularly in older people who have lost some of the heel’s natural fatty padding.
• Cushions that provide a barrier between shoes and the heels and toes.
