Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for creating personalized insoles designed to provide physical comfort to the individual wearing shoes containing the personalized insoles. A three-dimensional (3D) foot scan is performed on the individual's feet to better understand the contours and geometry of each foot of the individual. In addition, a 3D insole scan of the current insole of the shoe is performed to determine an accurate outline of the insole as well as to identify any wear patterns and compression points within the insole. The 3D foot scan combined with the 3D insole scan is used to generate the personalized insole that is accurately sized to fit into the corresponding shoe. The personalized insole is designed to be inserted into the shoe in order to provide a supportive fit that is personalized for both the individual and shoe in order to minimize foot pain and/or discomfort for the individual.
