Choosing the Right Shoe:
Please follow these simple rules to help you find the best type of shoe to allow your orthotic to work with maximum effectiveness.
A) The shoe should NOT bend in the arch. It should bend in the toe box. Take the shoe and hold it on the ends with both hands and press. See where it bends.
B) Look at the bottom and sides of the shoe. There should be no fancy materials to control excessive motion. That is why you have the orthotics! The shoes are there solely to provide your orthotic with the support it needs to do the job.
C) Most importantly, make sure they fit comfortably with your orthotics in them. Take your orthotics shoe shopping with you.
