How can I identify good quality multi-sport orthotics?
How do I choose the best orthotics for my exercise shoes that will be able to handle multiple different sports? I'm afraid of choosing the wrong ones because I want quality inserts that aren't going to completely break my bank. Is there really a difference between insoles for specific sports, or can one type of sports orthotic be used in multiple pairs of exercise shoes for exercises that have different levels of intensity?Asked 2 years ago

Do orthotics help with weak ankles?
I have chronic ankle instability and am looking for the best support for my weak ankles. I have already suffered multiple sprains in my life and don't really want to keep going through the same painful injuries over and over again. What are orthotics supposed to do for your foot if your ankles are weak because mine are far from stable? Apparently, it's progressing into overpronation now, which is something I'd like to avoid.Asked 2 years ago

Can you fix chronic ankle instability with custom insoles?
I have sprained my ankles a bunch in my life and never thought that it could be due to an underlying condition. I think I might have chronic ankle instability, but I'm not sure if this is due to spraining my ankles so many times, or if it's the reason I've messed up my ankle joints so badly. I want to start fixing the problem, or at least alleviating the symptoms, and want to know if custom insoles or orthotics can help stabilize my ankles in a permanent way.Asked 2 years ago
