1. An insert for a shoe having an insole comprising:

  • a thin section of non-absorbent, thermally non-conductive material adapted to overlie at least a portion of the insole of the shoe, said section being deformable to conform to the shape of the insole;

    said section being formed with a plurality of apertures to permit the passage of air and moisture from a foot and sock resting atop said section to the insole beneath said section;

    said section having an uppermost surface with a coefficient of friction approximately equal to the coefficient of friction of the skin of the foot so as to limit movement of the foot and sock with respect to the insole to reduce the incidence of turf toe while permitting at least some movement of the foot and sock relative to the insole to reduce blistering of the foot.
