For many women, looking their best while performing even simple activities such as walking in the park or strolling through the mall is of the utmost importance. Unfortunately, comfort isn't always at the top of the list.

The latest and greatest styles in shoe wear may look fantastic, but they don't always provide the best comfort. Over time, this discomfort can actually lead to chronic aches and pain, and not just in the foot.

Research has shown that woman have a greater Q-angle, which is the angle between the quadriceps muscle at the hips (think top of the thigh) and the patella (knee cap). This increased angle of the thighbone, which is greater in women then men, is due to the broader and rounder female pelvis which is better designed for easier child birth.

As a result of this increased Q-angle, women are at more risk of foot, ankle, knee, hip and low back pain. The reason is simple; the increased angle contributes to poor alignment of the body putting undue strain on the joints of the lower body. This constant strain can cause chronic pain and inflammation at the various joints, decreasing range of motion and causing enough discomfort to limit activities.

For the athletic and active woman, there is a simple solution; the SPENCO for Her Cushioning Insoles with Q-FACTOR Technology. These cushioning foot supports provide a soft and comfortable support and greater shock absorption for the active woman.
