A local Yilan business has designed a unique insole that not only makes shoes more comfortable, but has also performed spectacularly at international invention competitions, winning a total of five gold and silver medals. Integrating AI and medical knowledge, the tiny insole increases arch support while dispersing pressure. Even athletes trust these specialized insoles to protect their feet in the most demanding of situations.
It may look like an ordinary shoe insole, but its effect is far from ordinary. Made from green carbon fiber, it’s eco-friendly while being lighter than most insoles. The design incorporates principles of biomechanics to reduce pressure on the bottom of the feet, making walking more effortless for the wearer.

It supports effortless propulsion while running. By providing arch support, it stabilizes the ankle to prevent risk of sprains. What’s more, the inner arch absorbs shock and reduce pressure, while the outer arch keep balance.
The creator uses a smart AI-driven system that analyzes foot and shoe data, incorporating medical and sports science to design the perfect insole tailored to each customer’s foot shape and athletic habits.
