Foot fatigue / Tired feet

This problem stems mostly from poor foot support and / or poor shoe gear.
Commonly people will wear an inappropriate style or type of shoe gear
for a particular activity. This will lead to general foot fatigue. It
is important to make sure that another problem is not present like pronation
or flat foot. ALWAYS make sure that the shoe actually fits the foot well
with plenty of space to prevent crowding the toes. If an orthotic is going
to be worn it is also important to get the shoes to fit your foot with
the orthotic in place.
Custom
functional orthotics:
Custom orthotic devices help control any dysfunction of the way you walk
and provide the support and comfort you need. They are custom built to
your foot. In addition good fitting shoes are a must. Make sure to note
any areas of pain on the foot diagram when ordering orthotics from our
site.
Prolabs:
These will provide some correction of the dysfunction of the way you walk
but do not provide "protection" or cushioning. They will provide support
to your feet as well.
Spenco
Cross Trainer:
These are a good support that provides extra cushioning. This device is
especially good for the aging foot. It does not provide a large degree
of foot control
Apex
Anti-shox:
This is a high quality supportive type over the counter insert. It is
recommended especially for people with poor circulation or diabetes as
it offers excellent cushioning. They do not provide a large amount of
foot control.
All people with diabetes, poor circulation, burning or numbness in
their feet or who have had previous ulcers absolutely need to see their
foot doctor before and after obtaining any type of foot device including
diabetic custom orthotics to prevent injury to their feet that could lead
to loss of their feet.
