Can Orthotic orthotics make bad or average shoes into good shoes?

Our othotics help improve the foundation that the shoe provides. If the foundation isn't solid or is worn or in bad repair, the orthotic will only help to a certain degree.

Another question that often comes up is “can orthotics make a bad shoe into a good shoe?” and the short answer to this is no. While adding an orthotic to a poor or cheap shoe or one arch shoe will improve its function. It will never work to its optimal level than it will placing it in a good shoe.
