Why are custom orthotics so expensive?
Asked 4 years ago
I don't understand why custom orthotics have to be so expensive compared to store-bought ones. Why is this the case?

Custom orthotics are generally manufactured for $100 or less (including materials), however they are extremely pricey. It's because you're paying for the examination, as well as the casting of your feet and a hefty mark-up.
