Why You Need Shoe Orthotics For Your Profane Feet

By Allyson Whitley


Shoe orthotics has been a major help in the field of podiatric treatment. The orthotics act as a special padding inserted in the shoe and is designed to correct biomechanics problems on the feet. Because of their success, the medical shoe inserts have been widely applied in the field of sports where foot injuries are a common thing.

When do you know that you need a medical shoe insert? Your fast red alert is when you show symptoms of pronated feet; this is a condition when the feet cave inside by the ankle when you run or jog. You will get this problem occurring frequently in athletes or those who job a lot in trainers.

As the foot collapses inwards the knees rotate in an inward motion as well which puts stress on the lower limb and may result in stress fractures. On the other hand, if you take a long walk to work every day, chances are you may suffer from pronated feet as well. Feet orthotic treatment is handy where a lot of stress is put on the foot especially in running, jogging or long distance walks every day.

It is common for modern day sportswear shoes to claim of having sufficient foot padding inside the shoe to absorb shock and provide comfort. But as research shows not all trainers, running shoes or ordinary shoes are that sufficient when walking or running in them. So if you develop early foot stresses or pains whenever you complete a jog or walk home from work, then you could definitely do well with foot inserts.

Today you can purchase the inserts from over the counter shops without the need for a doctors prescription. However it is first good to check with a podiatrist to examine your foot and determine all you need is an extra inner padding. Sometimes the problem may be internal and a surgery required; but if not then feet padding are all you need.

While buying medical inserts for the shoes, it is crucial to try them out first to determine whether they will fit and be comfortable inside the footware. Foot inserts are necessary whether the footware is heeled or has a thick sole; it is important that the shoe has enough depth for both the inner padding and your foot to fit. If the padding does not fit you can trim it a bit; most people use their inner soles as a template to carefully trim the padding.

If the insole medical inserts still do not fit into the shoes, you may require removing the insole to fit better. But as you buy the padding, always aim for shoes with high depth for it to fit perfectly. If your shoes have laces, buckles, straps or tunable hooks, you can easily adjust the shoe to fit with the padding.

When looking for high quality medical foot padding, then shopping in sports and shoe stores is the right place to get them. There are pharmacies that sell the padding as well as online websites where you can browse through variety before purchase. As you select the shoe orthotics to buy, make sure it fits, is comfortable and will solve your profane feet problem.
