If you haven’t purchased custom orthotics yet, you might be wary of their price tag. Custom insoles can range between $300 and $800, depending on the vendor. On the other hand, over-the-counter inserts like Dr. Scholl’s are sold at drugstores for much cheaper. Are custom orthotics worth their price? How different from over-the-counter insoles can they really be?
What sets custom orthotics apart?
Truly custom insoles make all the difference. Certified pedorthists spend hours designing insoles molded to your feet, and your feet only. Cutting-edge design and manufacturing techniques give your feet the support they deserve.
By contrast, over-the-counter inserts are generic and cannot respond to your feet’s specific needs. Their generic design assumes that you have problems in areas where you might not. Using over-the-counter inserts also carries the risk of worsening symptoms; if you choose the wrong type of device, it can cause problems instead of addressing them. In fact, blocking the foot’s natural shock absorbers can lead to further injury.
Why are custom orthotics worth the cost?
Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are designed to offer benefits tailored to your body. Those benefits can include:
-
Reducing pain — Clinical studies have shown that custom orthotics significantly decrease foot pain and improve function. How do they do this? Custom orthotics offer arch support and are intended to address alignment issues, easing your pain.
-
Providing supreme comfort — Custom orthotics are professionally crafted according to your weight, age and activity. The insoles are also formed according to your unique foot structure, giving you the most comfortable stance possible.
- Jump-starting better performance — Custom orthotics can help increase your balance and stability when active. They can be designed to give you the ability to run, jump and play with confidence.
