Not many things can compare to a well made pair of custom orthotics. They make everyday living more comfortable. Some people cannot stand or walk without them. They reduce callusing on your foot and pressure on your knees and back. The secret to all of this is concealed in your shoe so no one even knows you’re wearing them. So what is the big fuss about getting custom made orthotics?!
Custom made orthotics have to be made with a certain thickness to them depending on factors like your body weight, gait tendencies and lifestyle. Technology has advanced a long way so the custom made orthotics made in 2015 are significantly slimmer, lighter and more comfortable than in the past. If you’ve been turned off in the past about custom made orthotics, I would recommend giving them another try with a certified pedorthist.

FAQs
1. What are orthotics for high heels?
Orthotics for high heels are specially designed inserts that fit inside dress shoes. They provide arch support and comfort, helping reduce foot pain without changing your shoe’s appearance.

Yes! Modern orthotics, especially cobra-style, are slim and shaped to fit heels properly. They don’t take up too much space or affect how the shoe looks or feels.
3. Why do my feet hurt after wearing heels all day?
High heels shift your body weight to the front of your feet. This extra pressure can lead to foot pain, calluses, and problems like plantar fasciitis if left untreated.
4. How do orthotics help reduce foot pain in heels?
Orthotics support the arch and cushion the heel and forefoot. They help distribute body weight evenly, which lowers stress on the toes, heels, knees, and even hips.

A cobra-style orthotic is a narrow, low-profile insert made for tight-fitting shoes like high heels. It gives essential support without taking up too much space in your shoe.

Yes. Orthotics for high heels with strong arch support reduce pressure on your plantar fascia, easing pain and inflammation while letting you wear your favourite dress shoes.

Your body weight determines how firm and supportive your orthotic needs to be. Heavier individuals may need thicker materials to better support their feet and lower body.

Yes, they can. By supporting your arches and improving how you stand, orthotics reduce strain on your knees and hips, especially when standing or walking for long periods.

No one will notice! Orthotics for high heels sit inside your shoes, hidden from view. You’ll still look fashionable while keeping your feet, knees, and hips well supported.
