Why Do My New Orthotics Feel Uncomfortable?
Getting custom orthotics is an important step toward reducing foot pain and improving the way you move. However, some people are surprised when their new orthotics feel uncomfortable at first.

The good news is that this adjustment period is temporary for most people and can be managed with the right approach. Understanding what to expect and following a gradual break-in plan can help you achieve the best long-term results.

Foot pain is so common nowadays, it’s unusual to hear that people around you may not have any foot pain whatsoever. Plantar fasciitis, sore feet, you name it.
