Choice Of Orthotic
Choosing your orthotics is like choosing which frames you prefer for your glasses. Once your prescription is sorted, you get to choose the type of orthotic that will best fit your lifestyle and choice of shoes.
The Orthotic Group provides a massive range of orthotics for every different type of use. Whereas many people will be fine with the standard type of orthotic, there are accomodative orthoses for diabetics and ones which provides extra cushioning for sore or arthritic feet at the expense of some degree of correction.
There is a range of styles designed specifically for sports activities from skiing to golf. Each one is specifically designed to maximise control and comfort for whatever activity you do. There are even dress flex and fashion flex for those who require mild correction and can get away with compromising some control for the ability to fit the orthoses into dress and fashion shoes.
The Orthotic Group have also pioneered a range of fashionable shoes for a range of different activities that incorporate your custom prescription in the foot bed. From safety boots to sandals, there's something for everyone.
And perhaps most important of all, there is a special childrens style, which is designed to provide the necessary control and support for growing feet. By optimising your children's foot function whilst they are young, you can improve their health and signficantly reduce their risk of developing related health problems later on in life. In short, the earlier we can start improving foot function, the better.
