Everyone can benefit from wearing high-quality custom foot orthotics. You do NOT have to be suffering from foot pain or have 'fallen arches' to benefit from high-quality custom orthotics. Since, 1996, I have fitted hundreds of folks with either Amfit (These are my favorite- made of the lightest EVA materials available) or 'Foot Levelers' (see below) brand orthotics with great results. These patients are now have less pain and/or improved athletic performance! In my clinical experience, the custom orthotics are vastly superior to 'over the counter' foot inserts. We do carry an OTC insert (Superfeet Green Capsule) which is a good value, but vastly inferior to custom products. Lastly, when dealing with orthotics the clinician MUST look at the "big picture' and examine the patient 'above the foot'. I perform a thorough history and appropriate gait assessment and palpatory exam on the entire biomechanical structure. Below is a pretty good summary of my philosophy regarding orthotics.
