What types of Orthotics do we provide?
Sports Orthotics
Sports orthotics are designed specifically for running, walking, or other sports. Sports orthotics are more durable with a softer, full-length top cover to provide additional comfort and cushioning and prevent blisters from occurring. These custom orthotics are suitable for shoes with a full-length removable inner sole, such as running shoes and football boots.
Slimthotics
These orthotics fit in narrow shoes that are usually lower profile. They provide the same level of correction but are worn in a wide variety of shoes. They are highly customisable and enable you to get a broader range of widths and colours to suit your shoe style.
Cycling Orthotics
Custom-designed orthotics that fit into cycling shoes whilst ensuring you maintain comfort and efficient power transfer through your pedals. These orthotics are cleverly designed from carbon fibre to provide a lightweight and durable orthotic that fixes your cycling foot pain.
Orthotics FAQs
What’s the difference between custom orthotics and over-the-counter orthotics?
Custom orthotics are specifically designed for an individual’s unique foot shape and biomechanics, often created based on detailed assessments by a podiatrist and a 3D image taken of your feet. Over-the-counter orthotics are generic inserts that provide general support and may not address specific foot issues as effectively as custom-made options. The shape of over-the-counter orthotics is ‘generic’ meaning it may not suit your foot shape leading to blisters or discomfort.
How should I care for my orthotics?
Proper care for your orthotics involves keeping them clean and dry. Hand wash them with mild soap and water as needed and allow them to air dry. Regularly inspect for wear and tear and replace them when necessary to maintain optimal support and comfort as over time they will compress and lose effectiveness.
Will orthotics fit in all types of shoes?
While orthotics can fit in many types of shoes, they work best in shoes with removable insoles. Athletic shoes, dress shoes, and some sandals are often suitable, but it’s essential to ensure that there is enough space for the orthotic without cramping the foot.
How long does it take to get used to wearing orthotics?
Adjusting to orthotics may vary by individual, but many people experience an adjustment period of several days to a few weeks. It’s common to start by wearing them for a few hours each day, gradually increasing usage over time.
Can I wear orthotics while exercising or participating in sports?
Yes, orthotics can and should be worn during exercise or sports activities, especially if you are prone to foot pain or injuries. They can provide necessary support and stability, enhancing your performance and reducing the risk of injury. It’s advisable to choose orthotics suited for athletic shoes.
