Are custom orthotics better than store-bought?
Asked 3 years ago
My friend argues that off-the-shelf orthotics will be as effective as custom-made orthotics. I beg to differ and say custom-made orthotics are clearly best for your feet because they are tailored to fit your uniquely shaped feet. Who's right?

Beyond being more affordable and durable, custom orthotics are a better solution to providing individual-tailored support and comfort. Unlike most generic products, Upstep's custom insoles are designed by professional podiatrists to ensure the utmost quality and optimal management of specific conditions.

Scientists discovered no difference in pain treatment between persons who used custom-made orthotics and those who used store-bought orthotics in the short term. Store-bought orthotics, on the other hand, can be an excellent solution for small aches and pains that only require a little padding. Because they are manufactured of lower-quality materials, they do not last as long as custom orthotics, but their disposability is more affordable.
