Some custom orthotics are made with materials that help lower pressure on certain parts of the foot while walking. Limited research suggests that materials such as polyurethane, polyethylene, and EVA may help reduce peak pressure in different areas. By reducing pressure in key spots, these materials can make walking more comfortable and may help prevent problems like calluses or ulcers, especially for those with sensitive feet. Although more research is needed, early findings show that the choice of material can make a difference in how well orthotics work. If you are looking for relief from foot discomfort or need help managing pressure-related issues, it is suggested you speak with a podiatrist to see if custom orthotics with the right materials might be helpful for you.

The benefits of custom orthotics are far-reaching and can make a significant impact on your daily life. Whether you are an athlete looking to enhance your performance, a healthcare worker on your feet every day, someone who experiences chronic foot pain, or someone who wants to improve their overall comfort and well-being, custom orthotics can be a game changer. 

Custom orthotics provide support, stability, and relief for a variety of foot conditions ranging from flat feet to heel pain. They can even help prevent injuries and address more severe foot concerns, such as plantar fasciitis and diabetic foot issues.
