Ready-to-Wear Orthotics Support Foot & Lower Leg Health
Orthotic insoles are designed to provide targeted support and alignment for your feet, which can help alleviate common issues such as plantar fasciitis, heel pain, arch discomfort, shin splints, and knee strain. By improving foot posture and distributing pressure evenly, orthotics reduce stress on joints and muscles, promoting better overall biomechanics and comfort during daily activities.
Why Choose a Non-custom Prefabricated Orthotics?
Unlike many drugstore insoles that offer only soft cushioning, Powerstep ProTech orthotics feature a more rigid structure for superior stability and arch support similar to a custom orthotic insole. This added firmness helps correct alignment and provides long-lasting relief for chronic foot and lower leg problems, making them an excellent choice for both preventative care and active recovery.
Powerstep ProTech Full-Length Orthotics – Best for:
-
Plantar Fasciitis
Sharp or stabbing pain in the heel, especially with the first steps in the morning or after sitting for a while. Caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament. -
Overpronation / Flat Feet
Feet roll inward excessively when walking or running, often leading to arch collapse and strain on ankles and knees. -
Heel Spurs
A bony growth on the heel bone that can cause localized heel pain, often linked to plantar fasciitis. -
Shin Splints
A dull, aching pain along the front of the shin, common in runners or those who increase activity suddenly. -
General Foot Fatigue
A tired, achy feeling in the feet after standing or walking for long periods, often due to lack of proper support.
Powerstep Pinnacle Plus Met Orthotics – Best for pain at the ball of foot, such as;
-
Metatarsalgia
Burning or aching pain in the ball of the foot, often worsened by standing, walking, or wearing unsupportive shoes. -
Morton’s Neuroma
Sharp, tingling, or burning pain between the toes (usually 3rd and 4th), sometimes with a feeling of a “pebble” underfoot. -
Sesamoiditis
Pain under the big toe joint caused by inflammation of small bones (sesamoids) that help with push-off during walking. -
Forefoot Stress from High-Impact Activities
Discomfort or soreness in the front of the foot after running, jumping, or sports that put pressure on the forefoot.
Choosing the Correct Size for Your Orthotics
To select the right size, match your shoe size and choose the corresponding orthotic size (typically the same or up to 0.5 size larger for best fit). Before inserting your new orthotics, remove any existing foam liners or insoles from your shoes to ensure proper placement and comfort. When starting out, wear your orthotics gradually—begin with 1–2 hours on the first day and increase wear time by an hour or two each day until you can comfortably wear them all day. This helps your feet and legs adjust to the improved support.
