👣 Bespoke Orthotics Vs Over-the-Counter – Which is Right for You? 👣

Do YOU Need Orthotics?

If you’ve ever suffered from foot pain, chances are you’ve tried over-the-counter orthotics. They’re easy to find, quick to grab, and seem like a simple fix. But are they really solving the problem?

Over-the-counter orthotics are a one-size-fits-all solution. While they might offer short-term relief, they often don’t address the root cause of your pain. In fact, for many people, they don’t provide much relief at all.

That’s where bespoke (custom) orthotics come in.

Custom orthotics are made specifically for your feet. Using advanced 3D scanning technology, a physiotherapist trained in orthotics or a podiatrist can assess your foot structure, walking pattern, and posture. These scans reveal much more than just foot shape – they can highlight issues you may not even be aware of. For example, you might be internally rotating your feet when you walk, which can lead to knee or hip pain down the line. A custom scan can spot this early and help prevent further issues.

One of the best parts? Your bespoke orthotics are tailored not just to your feet, but to your lifestyle. Whether you need them for running, work, or everyday wear, the materials and design can be customised for durability and comfort – meaning fewer replacements and better long-term value.

So, while off-the-shelf orthotics might offer a quick fix, custom orthotics are an investment in your long-term health.

If you’ve been battling with recurring foot, knee, or hip pain, it might be

time to step into something that’s made just for you.
