Tip for Orthotic Devices in Side to Side Sports: Keep Them Low to the Ground


High level soccer player presented today for his orthotic devices solely for these cleats. The custom orthotic must be low to the ground, so when you flip this over, the heel does not have its typical post or lift. I always joke with the patient when they bring in such bright shoes, that they better be good to wear these!!

Here you can see after flipping over the orthotic device that there is no additional lift that could potentially lift them out of their shoes. This is ideal for any side to side cutting sports where the risk of ankle sprains is higher than running or walking. 



An even closer look at the orthotic bottom (plantar) area. The orthotic device really supports the foot well and distributes weight very evenly around the foot, so stress points are harder to develop which can lead to injury.
