How do custom shoe inserts for ankle pain work?

To help relieve ankle pain associated with issues like Achilles tendinitis, many people turn to generic, mass-market insoles that are sold at drug stores or sporting goods stores.

Do I need orthotics? Here are some signs to look for

Some amount of foot pain happens to everyone. If you spend enough time on your feet — either at work, play or exercise — eventually they’re going to get sore.

However, if pain becomes more severe, more persistent and/or is accompanied by other issues like knee pain or back pain, there could be a more serious underlying issue. Orthotics, custom-made inserts that provide support for the feet, help many people walk with increased comfort and can help address certain biomechanical problems. Deciding whether you need custom orthotics is a personal decision that should be made with the assistance of a...

Are store-bought orthotics making your foot pain worse?

The purpose of any orthotic insole should be pain relief, but some people find themselves in the unfortunate position of purchasing a pair of insoles only to find that they are worsening foot pain.

However, many other people have found relief when they were fitted for a pair of higher-quality custom orthotics designed to address their specific needs. What advantages do fully custom orthotics offer for foot pain? A pair...
