Store-bought insoles is an option for temporary comfort, but they are not the same as custom orthotics.
1. One size doesn’t fit all
Dr. Schulz insoles are made for general population Custom orthotic design specifically for your feet, your gait, and your biomechanics.
2. They cushion – they don’t correct.
Store-bought insoles may provide temporary comfort, but they don’t address the underlying cause of foot, knee, hip, or back pain while custom orthotics are designed to improve alignment and movement.
3. They may wear out faster.
Over-the-counter insoles are generally made with soft materials intended for short to medium term use. Our custom orthotics are made from more durable materials and are built in daily wear for much longer.
4. They don’t match your foot structure.
Everyone’s feet are different. Whether you have flat feet, high arches, overpronation, or supination, custom orthotics are made to support your unique foot shape.
5. Pain often starts at the feet.
Poor foot mechanics can contribute to discomfort in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and even the lower back. Proper support will help improve overall alignment and reduce strain throughout the body.
If you’re dealing with persistent foot, knee, hip, or back pain, a custom assessment is the next step toward lasting relief. Book an assessment today to find out if custom orthotics are right for you!
