Let’s clear the air about custom orthotics 👟
There’s a lot of misinformation out there, so here are a few things worth knowing about custom orthotics:
👣 They shouldn’t hurt! Some adjustment time is normal, but custom orthotics are designed to support your feet comfortably. Persistent pain means something needs to be adjusted.
👣 They’re not a substitute for exercises. Orthotics work best alongside strengthening and mobility exercises - not instead of them.
👣 One kind of style does not fit all. Custom orthotics can be made for dress shoes, running shoes, workboots, skates, ski boots, and more. You’re not locked into one style for every situation.
👣 Not everyone needs them (and that’s okay). A proper assessment helps determine what your feet actually need - custom orthotics may or may not be part of that answer.
If you’re curious about what’s going on with your feet, a Biomechanical Assessment is the best place to start. We’ll look at your gait, your footwear, your history, and your goals to figure out what’s right for you.
