Your questions answered

Can orthotics go in all my shoes?

Shoes can impact the orthotic function. Nowadays orthotics can be made slimmer and are more friendly in a wider range of shoes. However, by wearing proper fitting orthotic-friendly shoes may help improve the function of your new orthotics.

Here are key features your shoes should have:

An enclosed heel with firm heel counter
A firm sole
A wide midsole
A removable insole
Enough depth and width for your feet
Minimal heel height

How do orthotics work?

The purpose of orthotic therapy is to decrease internal and external forces on specific parts of the foot, helping to treat injuries, and reduce foot pain.

GROUND REACTION FORCE

Orthotics modify the pressure coming from the ground to the foot when you stand, walk, or run. By altering the group reaction forces, you can achieve better foot function, and reduce any excessive forces that may lead to foot injury.

NEUROFEEDBACK

Orthotics can help send back sensory feedback to your brain to prompt it to change its movement during gait. With these signals, your brain can send corrective movements to the foot and improve function, avoid pain, and prevent injury.

ORTHOTIC DESIGN

Orthotics can be designed to incorporate specific features to alter the magnitude, location, and force impacting your foot. These excessive forces are generally the cause of all mechanically related foot and ankle injuries.

Over-the-counter vs Custom Orthotics

The insoles found in the pharmacy are developed to fit a generic foot shape and size. Some brands can have specialised features such as ‘high arch support’ or ‘low arch support’.

However, the one-size fits all approach does not benefit everyone. These insoles generally don’t last as long due to the material used.

By having custom orthotics, you can ensure your foot concerns are being effectively treated by a qualified health professional.
