The lifespan of the orthotic depends on why it was prescribed and what material it is made from and how much you use them. We treat all our clients as individuals, so we will let you know how long your orthotic will last. Foot orthotics are all different, no one size fits all and at SO Podiatry we use various different types depending on your individual case. Custom laboratory manufactured orthotics usually have a longer life span.

It is always advisable to see your podiatrist every 20-24 months if you wear a prescribed pair. It is essential to reassess whether your needs are the same, and if the device is doing what we need it to. It is always important to remember that the body is a live changing tissue that over time changes. So we like to recommend reassessment every 20 months as essential to keep you moving better, pain free and allowing you to live your best life.
