Do you walk with your knees knocking or your feet angled outward? You might be dealing with a Valgus (bowlegged) or Varus (knock-kneed) condition.

These conditions can cause joint pain, especially when you’re active, and even lead to long-term problems if left untreated. The good news is simple lightweight wedge inserts can offer significant relief.

What are Wedge Inserts for Shoes and How Do They Work?

The Warwick Wedge™ is the original shoe insert shaped like a wedge. This simple, clever design allows it to fit discreetly inside your shoe at the heel. By adjusting the angle of your heel, it helps guide your knee back to a more neutral position, reducing the inward or outward roll. The result? Less pain and improved stability.

Finding the Perfect Wedge Insert

Not all wedge inserts are created equal. Here are three things to consider when choosing one:

1. Comfort matters. You shouldn’t sacrifice comfort for correction. Look for inserts that fit seamlessly inside your shoes without feeling bulky or cramped. The Warwick Wedge, for example, is designed to fit snugly in the heel without impacting the rest of your foot.

2. Versatility is key. Who wants separate inserts for each foot? The Warwick Wedge boasts a clever reversible design, accommodating both supination (inward rolling) and pronation (outward rolling) depending on which way you insert it. Plus, it comes in three sizes for a personalized fit.

3. Quality makes a difference. Some inserts can be irritating or cause sweating. The Warwick Wedge goes the extra mile with a firm, lightweight foam that’s hypoallergenic and latex-free. Plus, it adheres to our high manufacturing standards for long-lasting support.

The Final Step: Talk to Your Healthcare Provider

While wedge inserts can be a game-changer, consulting your healthcare provider is crucial. They can diagnose your specific condition and determine the best path forward. They can also advise on whether the Warwick Wedge is a good fit for your individual needs.

Don’t let Valgus or Varus knee conditions hold you back! Wedge inserts like the Warwick Wedge can offer the support and comfort you need to move with confidence.
