Off-the-Shelf Orthotics

Off-the-shelf orthotics (often called arch supports) are usually found in retail stores  - including sport stores, shoe stores online stores and pharmacies.  They are non-custom devices designed to provide gentle support to the arch of the foot and help spread weight more evenly along the bottom of the foot.  They are sometimes called "prefabricated orthotics."

There are many different arch supports on the market.    Like everything else, some are better than others.  And one brand might work well for your feet while another brand works well for your friend’s feet.  Quality off-the-shelf orthotics usually cost $30.00 - $50.00.  For a list of our recommended off-the-shelf orthotics and where to buy them, download our Recommended Shoe List from our forms page.  We also carry some high-quality OTC supports in our office and in our online store at www.FootAnkleStore.com. We have found the PowerStep Full Length Support and the Superfeet Synergizer to be effective devices and a good value.
