  • Do you have issues with bunions or shin splints?
  • Do your feet issues trouble you the whole day?

Orthotics FAQs

When should I get custom orthotics?

Orthotics may be prescribed by your healthcare provider if you have a condition like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. Even if you don’t have these conditions, your healthcare provider can still recommend orthotics, especially if you feel pain in your feet or ankles.

Can I put custom orthotics in any shoe?

Technically, you could put orthotics in any shoe, but it depends on the type and fit of the shoe as to how comfortable or manageable they are. Many people find that shoes with a higher heel counter (the part that comes up around your ankle) work better with orthotics, as they keep the orthotics in place. Orthotics should not be too tight. This can lead to more problems.

Are custom orthotics better than over-the-counter?

Orthotics can be made specifically to fit your feet based on detailed measurements and analysis. They will provide the most appropriate support for your needs. In contrast, over-the-counter orthotics are mass-produced and often do not provide a perfect fit. They may still have some benefits but they are not as supportive as custom orthotics.

How long can custom orthotics be used for?

The life expectancy of your orthotics varies depending on how often they are worn and what kind of activities you engage in. If they are well cared for, orthotics can last between 5 and 10 years. The top cover may start to wear out over time and will need to be replaced before the orthotics themselves need to be replaced.

What are the various types of orthotics?

There are different styles of orthotics available, depending on your individual needs.You can choose from full and half-length orthotics or slim orthotics to fit your narrower, lower, or more open shoes. Sports orthotics are also available for you to use while exercising or doing physical activity.

Do orthotics work with back pain?

In some cases, orthotics provide relief for back pain. Orthotics can correct bad posture or alignment to relieve pain and provide support.

Will I wear orthotics all the time?

Each person will have a different need for orthotics, thus it depends. If you have been prescribed orthotics, you should wear them for as long and as necessary to achieve the desired effect. It may take forever, but it might be shorter depending on your specific needs.
