Every foot type requires the right support to stay healthy and comfortable. People with flat feet often need firm arch supports that help distribute weight evenly and prevent excess strain. Those with high arches usually benefit from cushioned supports that absorb shock and reduce pressure on the heel and ball of the foot. Individuals with normal arches are best served by moderate support that maintains balance and stability. While store-bought inserts may offer temporary relief, they are not designed for the unique structure of your feet. Custom orthotics created by a podiatrist provide precise correction, improved alignment, and long-lasting comfort. They can also help prevent problems, such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and joint pain. If you are experiencing discomfort or want to protect your foot health, visiting a podiatrist for an evaluation and discussing custom orthotics is suggested.
