1. i have flat feet (or so my doctor believes)
2. i have shin splints--never endinghe recommended orthotics.
any one tried both dr.scholl's orthotics and custom ones for shin splints? are the custom ones a rip off? can you give me some details about the effectiveness of each, or pros and cons of each before i spent $500?
thanks
Answer:
The OTC ones are cheap, but they can also be harmful. The can hit pressure points in your feet that can cause a lot more pain. The custom fit ones are made for you, and only you. Everyone has different shapes and unique features in their feet, and the OTC ones are generic and made for general purpose use. I know that the feet can be a tricky part of the foot to deal with because of all the nerves and pressure points.
Personally, I spent the extra money for custom made ones and they made a HUGE difference with knee, back and shin pain.
Good luck.
Hey, you can always try the OTC ones and if it doesn't help, go to get ones made.
