The ideal situation would be 2 pairs of orthotics, each made from a cast of your feet. The cost for this is approximately $700. However, very often non-prescription (non-casted) orthotics have enough inherent control to adequately control pronation. Thus, my discovery of "dressthotics".

Dressthotics are wafer thin and can be worn in all types of shoes for the vast majority of patients. The control inherent in "dressthotics" is adequate and they don't require prescription orthotic devices. Sometimes the comfort that patients get just in "dressthotics" steer them into realizing that orthotics made from a cast of their feet is the appropriate direction for treatment. These orthotics are analogous to reading glasses which are not made from an examination of ones eyes, i.e. they may not be exactly suited to the specific deformity but they make a huge difference in adding comfort to ones life. If "dressthotics" are comfortable but they are not resolving your problem 100% that may be an indication that orthotics made from a cast of your feet is the next step in resolving your specific foot problem.

I've seen the orthotics made at various store fronts and television infomercials and have been very unimpressed. The devices are usually bulky and because they are so thick, are difficult to put into sandals and heels and are more expensive.

COST: $125.00
($13.93 restocking fee) if returned.
