What are the orthotics made of and how long do they last?
For good supportive shoes with removable full length insoles a foam based rubber orthotic is popular, especially with people with sensitive feet, active people or athletes. If the shoe is flimsy or has fit constraints then a semi-rigid or rigid type may be necessary. Softer type orthotics have a one-year-warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Rigid or semi-rigid types have a three-year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. There is no warranty against covering breakdown. After a period of time, most orthotics can be refurbished for an additional cost.
