Capsulitis is a condition that mainly affects the 2nd metatarsophalangeal joint of the foot due to overload or trauma to the joint that results in inflammation and pain. Patients often describe feeling a sharp pain when walking or running that improves with rest. There are several treatment options for capsulitis, including Physical Therapy, exercises, footwear, and insoles.
At Flawless Physio, we can create custom insoles for capsulitis of the foot. Still, we understand that this may not be feasible for everyone, so we can recommend a readily accessible insole that may help.
Best Insoles for Capsulitis
The primary aim of an insole is to offload the metatarsophalangeal by altering the location of force placed on the foot throughout the gait cycle. As a result, the best insoles for capsulitis should have a medial arch support and a metatarsal dome.
If you see a therapist, it can be beneficial for them to cut out the second metatarsal space on the insole, too.

Walkomfy Insoles
We recommend Walkomy insoles for capsulitis of the foot as they are full-length insoles that work well for sports shoes and walking shoes.
The Walkomy insoles have a medial arch support that helps to control excess pronation moments that can lead to capsulitis, and alongside their prominent metatarsal dome and cushioning, they are an excellent option for capsulitis of the 2nd toe.
As the Walkomy insoles offer considerable support, they are best placed in a boot or shoe with a rigid sole to reduce the amount of extension of the toes during the gait cycle.
Custom Insoles for Capsulitis
We are specialists in foot assessments and biomechanics. Our in-house specialist, James McCormack, offers foot assessments in his foot clinic or a Biomechanical Assessment for gait analysis, 3D foot scanning and state-of-the-art foot pressure plate testing.
We can create custom insoles of any thickness or length to fit your footwear and provide advice on the most appropriate shoes for your condition.
