Fig 4 Effects of stiffness of flat and custom-molded insoles on (A) peak plantar pressure, (B) contact area between the plantar foot and the insoles, and (C) peak von Mises stress in the bony structures. NOTE. The key indicates insole type (F, flat; M, custom-molded) and rigidity (0.3, soft; 1.0, firmer; 1000, rigid).
