A shoe insert including a bladder positioned within a main body. The
bladder includes a fluid tight membrane defining an interior chamber
containing a liquid. The bladder further includes a heel portion in fluid
communication with lateral and medial passages, which are in turn in
fluid communication with a metatarsal portion. A central island of solid
material is bounded by the heel portion, the lateral and medial passages,
and the metatarsal portion, such that the bladder is configured to move
liquid contained within the interior chamber in a cycle that conforms to
a natural gait cycle.
