Custom Foot Orthotics Vs. Off-the-Shelf Products
Considering that every person is different, and walks differently, pre-fab or off the shelf products are not able to take this into consideration, so while they may work for some people, the will not work for everyone. Many pre-fab devices are made with plenty of cushioning, which will lessen the pressure we put on our feet, often making it seem as if the device is working. However they are not addressing and correcting the core problem, so eventually the pain will return.
Custom orthotics can reduce the pain caused by bunions, and keep the bunions from getting worse. They can also treat and alleviate plantar fasciitis, reduce corns and calluses, reduce pressure from flat feet or high arches and many more foot pain causes.
