One of the questions I ask during an orthotics assessment is:
"When was your last pedicure?"
People usually laugh, but there's actually a reason.
The condition of your skin and calluses can tell a story about how you walk, where you're putting pressure through your feet, and what areas may be working harder than they should.
Foot structure is important, but so is watching how someone walks, assessing movement, and understanding what's causing the problem in the first place.
Custom orthotics aren't just about what your feet look like — they're about how your body moves.
So if you've had orthotics made before, here's a question:
Was your walking pattern assessed as part of the process?
