Abstract

A customizable insole has a base layer, a foot engaging top layer and a resiliently deformable layer therebetween. The top layer and the resiliently deformable layer are matrix cut into a plurality of adjacent plugs, wherein the plugs are removably fixedly bound to a base layer or a substrate. To customize an insole one or more plugs are removed in a spot to relieve pressure or reduce pain.
