Orthotics West

Foot Fact/FAQ Friday Q: Are the shoes I wear important to the effectiveness of my orthotics? A: Yes. Your custom foot orthotics (CFOs) can only be as helpful as... the footwear you put them in allow them to be. That means your shoes need to fit well and the CFOs will need to interface well with the inside of the shoes. It is often best to go shoe shopping AFTER you have your new CFOs so that you can take them with you and try everything together for maximum comfort. Alternatively, your Canadian Certified Pedorthist can construct and shape the CFOs for the specific make and model of footwear including for skates and cleats. Replace worn out or distorted shoes in order to provide a suitable platform for your new orthotics.
