Abstract

An insole suitable for adaptation of a shoe to the particular foot width of the wearer includes a support sole (2) with a lateral delimitation (3) corresponding to the actual insole outline; a dish-shaped edge (4) extending upwardly and laterally beyond the support sole delimitation (3), connected firmly to the support sole, and manufactured from a softer and more flexible material than the support sole material; a thickening (5) on the front side of the support sole (2) with a lateral delimitation (6) that is displaced in an inward direction relative to the support sole delimitation (3), forming a lasting margin recess (7) on the underside of the insole; and a sock selected from a set of socks, each sock in the set having an identical heel thickness and a front foot thickness that is graduated among each sock in the set to correspond to different foot widths.
