What Style Shoes Do Custom Orthotics Work Best In?

Custom orthotics are designed to perfectly cradle your foot for comfort and stability. Choose shoes that help your inserts do their job, and enjoy the reliable support of a well-matched pair.

Significance

Orthotic inserts work to support the foot and often to correct issues of past neglect when it comes to foot support. Making these corrections at ground level often has a profound effect on walking, posture and reducing skeletal pain issues.

Fit

Consult with your orthotic support supplier when deciding what size shoes your custom insert will be fitted for. Many retailers offer custom shoes made specifically to hold your orthotic in proper position.

Adjustable

Cradle your orthotic around the base of your foot with a shoe that has adjustable support. Tighten or loosen the shoe throughout the day to make wearing your orthotic more comfortable.

Stability

Shoes with a broad sole give you stability and cause your foot to roll straighter when you step. This keeps your foot centered in the orthotic insert for best results.

Control

Choose the right shoes to give you proper control for the day's tasks. To do this, find a pair of athletic shoes that are capable of holding your orthotic support comfortably for physical events.
