Abstract
A insole pad () for placement on top of an inner sole of footwear and adapted in use to cover only an area of that inner sole that is substantially smaller than the human footprint. The insole pad () includes a relatively thin, sheet-like body that has an upper surface () and a lower surface () and an outer periphery (). The lower surface () has sticky or adhesive properties, and is interrupted by recessed areas arranged in a pattern (). The pattern () is configured to include a plurality of channels combined to be at least intersecting or joining, so as to define a plurality of differently sized non-recessed lower surface areas. At least a portion of the channels vary in width, while the pattern has a varying density to provide high and low cushioning values in predefined areas A, B, C; G).
