What are orthotics made of and how long will they last?
Traditional orthotics are made from rigid materials, such as hard plastic or even metal. Although providing correct alignment they are very hard to get used to and not natural in the sense that they limit the foot’s natural suspension mechanism. Having something ‘rock-hard’ under the foot means that with every step the impact is not being absorbed properly and a shockwave travels from the foot all the way up to spine.
