Does your shoe insole change your foot skin? new study investigates.
NCT ID NCT06746597
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how walking with different air-insole pressures (80, 160, and 240 mmHg) and for different lengths of time (10 or 20 minutes) affects the thickness and stiffness of the skin on the bottom of the foot. Twenty healthy adults who can walk without help and are right-leg dominant will have their foot skin measured before and after walking using a special imaging technique. The goal is to understand which conditions cause the biggest changes in the skin's outer and deeper layers.
