Gel inserts are soft, cushioning pads made from a gel-like material that are placed inside shoes to provide extra comfort and support. They help absorb shock and reduce pressure on the feet, making them particularly useful for people who spend long hours on their feet or engage in high-impact activities. These inserts can be found in various shapes and sizes to fit different types of footwear, including athletic shoes and dress shoes. Many people use gel inserts to alleviate foot pain or discomfort caused by conditions such as plantar fasciitis or flat feet.
