How does the Dr. Scholl's kiosk work? ›

The Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotics system uses the patented science of Tekscan's pressure sensing technology along with custom developed software and sophisticated algorithms to recommend the best fit for them. The consumer simply takes off their shoes, steps up to the kiosk and onto the Tekscan sensing platform.

When prescribed by your podiatrist and used together with other treatments, custom shoe inserts often do provide relief from foot pain. If they don't seem to be working for you or are causing more foot pain, it's time for another call to your podiatrist.

Dr. Scholl's^® insoles and orthotics can placed over a shoe's existing insole as long as the shoe is still comfortable and does not feel too tight. Any insole or orthotic that is not full-length should be placed on top of your shoe's existing insole.

How often you wear them also affects how long they will last. In general, most of our patients with orthotics are instructed to wear them at all times. However, some may only need orthotics for certain shoes or activities, or you may have different pairs of orthotics for different pairs of shoes.

An improper fit is The most common reason these devices cause any discomfort. This problem is likely with off-the-shelf devices that incorrectly conform to your foot shape. Occasionally, custom orthotics may also fit incorrectly, leading to rubbing or aching.

If you are beginning to experience the same discomfort you felt before you got your orthotics or if you've developed new pains in your feet, ankles, knees, or back this is a strong indicator that your orthotic is no longer functioning as it should. You're developing calluses or corns.

Other signs that arch support may be too high are if you feel like there is an odd object in your shoe or if something is digging into your arch. If you wear arch supports that are the wrong height long enough, you could start to feel worse pain, body aches, and develop injuries.

Custom orthotics run anywhere from $200 to $800, but you'll also need to factor in other costs. This includes the associated office visits required to fabricate your orthotics as well as the cost to replace the top surfaces when they wear out. Resurfacing a pair of orthotic inserts can cost $50 to $100.

Should I run in my custom orthotics? ›

Custom foot orthotics have become a must for proper biomechanical alignment when running. To avoid pain or injury when you run, it's best to have a pair of foot orthotics made just for you using a mold of your feet and based on a thorough biomechanical assessment.

The type of material used for the orthotic determines how stiff it is. Rigid orthotics are usually made of a hard plastic or carbon fiber and provide more stability and support but may be less comfortable than softer orthotics. Softer orthotics are more flexible because they bend with your feet.

Custom orthotics made from high-quality, durable material will typically last longer, with users getting up to 5 years of wear. The material also determines how often the custom inserts need replacing. Those comprising hard plastic material can last anywhere from three to five years.

In most cases, we recommend that you remove the insole, or footbed, from your shoes and replace them with your custom foot orthotics.

In general, however, foam works best for cushioning, support, and pressure relief; gel works well for shock absorption; cork works well for support and slight cushion; and leather works well for cushion and "feel" (especially when worn with thin socks).
