Will I be able to stop wearing them after years of using them?

Our orthotics help to limit the amount of irritive movements in the foot while maintaining natural muscle use. The only element that may create an ongoing dependancy is the levels of comfort that are enjoyed with orthotics vs without.

A question that come through from time to time is “if I keep wearing my orthotics will I become dependent on them and not be able to walk without them?”.

The answer to that is no because our orthotics are made in the way where they are supportive and not corrective so they’re not going to do all work that your foot needs to do to walk, but they will limit the excessive amount of movement that will cause damage and injury to your foot.

So the short answer is no you will not become dependent on them but they will make your feet feel much more comfortable long term.
