What Are the Benefits of Arch Supports?
Arch supports, which are also called orthotics, can be purchased already made or custom fitted to your feet by your podiatrist or orthotic surgeon. Arch supports are inserted into your shoes to replace the removable padding inside of the shoe, and are usually made of a plastic base with a leather or foam top. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association and the National Library of Medicine, arch supports can help reduce the symptoms of many types of foot disorders.
