Flatfoot Correction With Custom Orthotics
Custom insoles are a cornerstone in the conservative management of flatfoot. Two critical design factors that influence their effectiveness are arch height and material hardness. An appropriately elevated arch supports the medial longitudinal structure of the foot, encouraging improved alignment and redistributing weight more evenly. The height must be carefully selected to avoid discomfort while still offering corrective support. Material hardness also plays a key role in functionality. A firmer material provides greater structural support and helps control excessive foot motion, while softer materials offer cushioning and pressure relief. Striking the right balance between these elements allows for both biomechanical correction and patient comfort. When designed appropriately, custom insoles can reduce pain, enhance function, and support the long-term management of flatfoot deformity in a noninvasive manner. If you have pain from having flat feet, it is suggested that you contact a podiatrist who can determine the type of foot orthotics that is right for you.
