Claim:
A corrective insole for treating defective positioning in the metatarsal and forefoot areas, comprising: an insole; a strap mechanism that is conducted through openings in said insole and that exerts a correcting force on at least the big toe at a respective area of said insole; and a metatarsal stretchable strap mechanism conducted via openings in said insole that is arranged in the area of the metatarsal bones, the insole comprising at least two longitudinally extending openings relative to a longitudinal axis of the insole that are positioned at the metatarsal foot area of the insole and spaced from lateral edges of the insole so, that the metatarsal strap mechanism, when assembled with the insole, is passed through said at least two openings in order to partially encircle a bottom portion of a foot in the metatarsal foot area so as to maintain contact between the bottom portion of the foot and the metatarsal strap mechanism when the corrective insole is worn, and in which each of the strap mechanism that exerts a corrective force on at least the big toe and the metatarsal stretchable strap mechanism comprise a separate strap mechanism that is respectively positioned and contained within a plane that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the insole, the respective planes containing the separate strap mechanisms being spaced and parallel to one another.
