Orthotic Tips

Now that you know what orthotics are, here are 4 small tips from the APMA that you should follow if you are prescribed custom made orthotics.

  • Bring and wear your orthotics with you whenever you purchase a new pair of shoes.
  • Try on the shoes with socks or stockings if that’s how you’ll be wearing those shoes.
  • Return as directed for a follow-up evaluation of the functioning of your orthotics. This is important to make certain that your feet and orthotics are functioning properly together.
  • Remember podiatrists are the orthotic experts. Your podiatric physician will make sure that the proper orthotic is prescribed to meet your specific needs.
