Custom orthotics offer significant benefits for those with flat feet, especially compared to standard options. While off-the-shelf orthotics may provide adequate support for common cases of flat feet, they lack individualization, often failing to address unique needs. Custom orthotics are specifically designed to fit each individual's foot structure, accommodating typical and more complex flat-foot conditions. This personalized approach improves comfort while targeting support that can reduce pain and enhance stability. Creating custom orthotics does take time, as it involves precise adjustments and careful manufacturing to match the unique contours of each foot. However, the time is getting shorter with new technologies. If you have discomfort from flat feet, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist for a foot exam and a discussion about how custom orthotics might help you.
