The present invention discloses an advanced insole for electrostatic discharge footwear. The insole features a base foam layer and a fabric top cover with conductive threads woven into the cover material, providing electrical flow paths from a wearer's foot to the base foam layer. An electrostatic discharge chemical additive is incorporated into the base foam layer, creating polarity channels for an electrical pathway within the foam layer. The insole is designed in a 3D supportive shape for increased foot comfort and interface, including a heel cup and arch support. The edges adjacent the toe region are beveled to accommodate various footwear, and the bottom surface of the base foam layer includes molded-in structures that provide varying degrees of cushioning to different regions of the fool. This novel insole design enhances comfort while ensuring efficient electrostatic discharge, proving advantageous in various footwear applications.
