Myths about Feet - All Wrapped Up


Over the years we have heard many misconceptions and, well, myths about foot care. Here are the top 5...

Myths about Feet #1. Comfort is Expensive
At the end of the day it comes down to this: How much is your comfort and ability to be active worth to you? Anyone who gets comfortable with good footwear or orthotics never goes without again. Our customers and patients tell us comfort is essential from that point on!

Myths about Feet #2. Orthotics are Only for Old People
When you limp along, struggling to keep up, you're broadcasting your infirmities louder than any orthotic solution will!

Myths about Feet #3. Fashionable Shoes have to be Painful
We can make an orthotic to fit into any shoe you wear, even skates, boots, high heels, and some sandals. This is no longer an excuse to live with pain.

Myths about Feet #4. Kids should Suffer until Their Feet Stop Growing
Consider this: If your child is squinting in the classroom to the see the board, do you wait until their eyes stop changing before buying them glasses? Orthotics are effective for 2 shoe sizes. Your child's comfort is top priority in my mind.

Myths about Feet #5. Looking After Myself is Selfish
Orthotics are preventative, as well as relieving your immediate pain and discomfort. You are worth it! Consider that, when you look after yourself, you have more to give others.
