The custom-made orthotics help make this important issue more relevant and attractive to people of all ages. After all, these 3D-printed insoles do address proper gait and posture, after all.
Designed by SOLS, the 3D-printed insoles hopes to bring attention to foot, back, knee and neck pain in a productive and helpful way. The New York City-based startup ensures that people can enjoy their fashionable footwear without paying a high physical price. Kegan Schouwenburg, the founder, says, "Part of what we're doing is education and part of what we're doing is transforming a product category."
