Solving Foot Problems With Arch Support Orthotics

By Karina Frost


There is a camaraderie among those who suffer from foot ailments of various kinds. They seek referrals for advice and ideas for new places to shop for shoes. It can be disheartening to try to find stylish things to wear with hurting feet, and solutions can be a constant topic of conversation.

Medical names such as bursitis, plantar fasciitis, tendinitis and neuroma are just a few of the problems that require special care. A visit to a physician is in order to determine exactly what is the root cause of any pain that continues. Once that is accomplished, he or she can recommend arch support orthotics of some kind. There are many brands designed to meet the needs of a widely varying population.

Walkers who enjoy their daily exercise routines may be happy to learn that their aches might be resolved by simply purchasing a very good pair of walking shoes. Going to a store where a professional can fit any inserts required to the best shoe is the right course. Extra inches are often needed to accommodate the new cushions, so it is common to find that the size shoe you now wear may be a full size larger.

Running shoes, with proper insoles fitted to the runner is another top solution for painful foot problems. Depending on whether your normal route is along hard surfaces or not will determine the extent of protection you need. But knowing that you can still run is worth the extra cost and time spent to get the right footwear.

It can be very discouraging to look for dress or special occasion shoes. Some of the prettiest do not have room for insertions at all. This is compounded by an entire lack of structure to help protect fragile ankles and delicate bones in the feet. But, there are manufacturers that do offer full lines of very attractive and stylish options. Many also will provide online listings of which models are best for working with specific ailments.

Though the flattest sandals with minimal straps are seen with casual wear most everywhere, these are danger in the making for people who need to use inserts. Some, tempted by the lure of being fashionable, will succumb to the temptation, forget their health provider recommendations, wear the skimpy fashion items, and end up in severe pain very quickly. One solution is to take a look at some of the new online websites offering distinctly pretty ones with thicker soles, wider leather uppers, and raised cushioning in the areas necessary.

Those who stand for long periods daily while working appreciate the variety of insoles designed to place in boots. Some are for sale over the counter. These industrial versions come in a range of sizes. Some can be cut to fit, while others are custom made and should be taken along when fitting at the store.

It is also important to know that these protective insoles are usually available as stand alone and pre-molded into the soles in advance. Some are cut to fit, while others must be custom made by a qualified technician. Ultimately, having several different kinds to move through the various activities of each day works well for many.
