Frequently Asked Questions About Orthotics

Custom orthotics typically last 3-5 years with normal use, though this varies based on activity level, body weight, and materials used. Athletes or very active individuals may need replacement sooner. We recommend annual check-ups to assess wear and ensure continued effectiveness.

Custom orthotics are designed to fit in most shoes with removable insoles. We can create different orthotics for specific shoe types (dress shoes, sports shoes, work boots). During your assessment, bring the shoes you wear most often so we can ensure proper fit.

Most people adapt to custom orthotics within 2-4 weeks. We provide a gradual wearing schedule, starting with 1-2 hours daily and increasing gradually. Some initial discomfort is normal as your body adjusts to the corrected alignment. We offer follow-up appointments to make any necessary adjustments.

Custom orthotics are prescription medical devices designed specifically for your foot structure and biomechanical needs. They're made from precise measurements and address specific conditions. Store-bought insoles are generic, one-size-fits-all products that provide basic cushioning but cannot correct biomechanical issues or provide targeted support.

Many UK health insurance plans cover custom orthotics when prescribed by a qualified podiatrist. Coverage varies by provider and policy. We provide detailed receipts and documentation for insurance claims. We recommend checking with your insurance provider before your appointment to understand your coverage.

Yes, children can greatly benefit from orthotics, especially for conditions like flat feet, in-toeing, or toe-walking. Early intervention can prevent future problems and support healthy development. We typically recommend assessment from age 3-4 when gait patterns are established. Children's orthotics are replaced more frequently due to growth.
