Cambion shoe inserts are designed to protect the skeletal system from the jarring effects of heel strike and redistribute underfoot pressure. Cambion combines layers of advanced materials to provide unsurpassed comfort while protecting against the potentially harmful impact forces that occur with every step.
    An outer layer of Poron® foam responds to changes in foot shape during weight transfer to provide constant cushioning and even distribution of weight to protect sensitive pressure points. With its smooth surface, soft feel and breath-ability, Poron pampers the foot, adding to the feeling of total comfort.
    Epoflex® viscoelastic polymer under-layer absorbs and dissipates the jarring shocks that can cause fatigue and cumulative trauma as well as impede recovery from injuries to feet, legs,and back. Visco-elastic polymers are the optimum material for underfoot cushioning. This synthetic material, which is both dense and elastic, has proved remarkably able to absorb the shock of heel strike. Taking up less space in the shoe than conventional foam materials, visco-elastic polymers are the most efficient form of under-foot cushioning available today. In fact you would need up to 15 drug store insoles to equal the cushioning effect of one Cambion visco-elastic insole.
    In tests that actually measured the amount of shock that various parts of the body sustained when walking, visco-elastic materials in combination with micro-porous foams showed far greater ability than other materials to dampen shock and reduce rebound. They cushioned the skeleton as the foot hit the ground and instead of kicking back instantly, they dissipated the energy evenly over several milliseconds. That is key to protecting your joints.
