Hi,
I want to slot my own orthotics into a slipper that's strong enough to support them. A lot just cause slipping and sliding. Anyone else do this? Tempted to just get a pair of house trainers! Anyone??!

Orthotics are designed to alter the way your feet and legs work, restoring more normal function and relieving stress on the painful areas.Some foot problems that can be treated with orthotics include corns and calluses, foot ulcerations, tendonitis and recurrent ankle sprains.

Extra depth at the toes and the heel to allow the foot to fit comfortably into the shoe. When selecting more appropriate footwear, remember a firm heel counter, plenty of toe room, a stable sole, and a good secure fit are important. Generally a good exercise shoe will provide all these attributes.

The size of the orthotic can have a huge bearing on what shoes you can wear. A full length orthotic will restrict your shoe options if you have a wide foot already. Alternatively a narrow foot may benefit from a full length orthotic. The choice of soft or hard orthotics is conversation that you need to have with your prescribing Podiatrist.

House trainers are the way to go - get Velcro or speed laces though.
