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.
