Contrary to what many believe, the professionals, and especially those who adhere to all kinds of natural views, claim that most people do not need any type of insoles. They prove their claim by pointing to our naturally bare feet. The slogan they carry is "If God / Nature wanted us to have other forms of cushioning – we would have been born with them already…".
