Abstract
A footwear support system of the type positioned within an inner volume of an article of footwear includes a footbed and an insole insert. The footbed includes a body having an upper surface and a cavity formed within the upper surface for receiving an insole insert. The cavity has a shape corresponding to the shape of the insole insert and a depth corresponding to the thickness of the insole insert. The insole insert may include interchangeable insole inserts, one including hydrophilic urethane for insulating a wearer's foot in cold environments and another including thermally insulative material for cooling a wearer's foot in warm environments. The footwear support system based on the footbed provides greater comfort to a wearer's foot.
