Over-the-Counter Custom Orthotics? Leave it to the Experts!

With the recent advent of Dr. Scholl’s® Foot Mapping device, we introduce the latest trend in consumer products – over the counter custom orthotics!

Imagine, walking into your local drugstore, stepping on a computerized platform and in a matter of minutes you are given a custom orthotic prescription to take away your foot pain.   Sound too good to be true?   Well, guess what?  It probably is!

There are many misconceptions among the general population on what orthotics are and who should consider using them.  The simplest analogy to orthotics are contact lenses.   Just like contact lenses, which are created based on your unique vision, eye diameter, base curve and possible astigmatism,  orthotics are uniquely prescribed to the individual.  Orthotics are a custom-made device based off of your unique foot structure and 3-dimensional foot function.  They are designed to normalize your foot biomechanics and often will relieve knee and back pain.

Many people often confuse orthotics with arch supports or insoles.  The products that are purchased over the counter fall under the category of inserts.  Since most consumers do not understand the difference between orthotics and inserts, Dr. Scholl’s is able to introduce a product such as Foot Mapping Custom Fit™ Orthotics.

How does Dr. Scholl’s® Fit Mapping work?

The Foot Mapping device works by measuring pressure points in your foot as you stand on a computerized platform.  By lifting one foot, standing on one leg, the device claims to measure your dynamic foot function.  After the analysis is complete you are given a Custom Fit™ Orthotic recommendation based off of your foot pressure points and arch height.

Will Dr. Scholl’s Custom Fit Orthotics correct your foot pain?

In people with normal foot biomechanics or mild foot pain, the Custom Fit™ Orthotics may take away some pain.  But can the Custom Fit™ Orthotics replace the custom-molded orthotics from a Podiatrist?  Absolutely not.  The downfall of Dr. Scholl’s Custom Fit™ Orthotics, is that they are not really “custom” orthotics.  Yes, they are measuring your foot pressure and arch height but there is more to what makes a foot unique in both structure and function.  The foot is a dynamic, three-dimensional structure and simply lifting one foot and standing on one leg does not give accurate information on how your foot is functioning at heel strike or through midstance and into propulsion.  If you are having serious foot pain, I recommend saving the $50 and visiting your Podiatrist.

Already have a pair of custom-molded orthotics?

Here are some great tips to get the most out of your orthotics!

• Orthotics last anywhere from 1 to 2 years (and in some cases even longer) if you take good care of them.
• Have your orthotics re-measured every year by your Podiatrist  to make sure they still fit and are effectively correcting your foot biomechanics
• Wear heels often?  Consider custom orthotics for your high heels!   These unique orthotics are designed for the shape and small toe-box of a high heel
• Think you need orthotics?  Find a Podiatrist in your area by visiting www.apma.org
