Combining fashion and comfort in Women's Footwear!
Looking good and feeling great is what fashion is all about!
But fashion shoes can create excessive pressure points on the ball and heel of the foot. The simple solution for foot pain in these circumstances is the medical grade ORTHAHEEL Slimfit Orthotics. Designed specifically for high heel shoes to provide effective pain relief from 'ball of foot' pain as well as painful bunions, corns and callous.
Features:
- Fits all types of ladies' fashion footwear, including high heels.
- Supports the foot around its neutral position via a 2 degree built-in angle.
- Ultra soft cover for added comfort and adhesive dot at the bottom to prevent sliding in high heels.
- Help align and cushion the metatarsals
What exactly is an Orthotic?
A foot orthotic is a device designed to realign the structures of the feet 3 dimensionally.
Why do we need Orthotics?
Our feet were originally designed for walking on natural surfaces like soil and sand. Instead we give our feet a daily pounding by walking and standing on hard, flat unnatural surfaces.
Over time this causes our feet to flatten and twist to make ground contact. Just like the tyres on a car, poor alignment of the feet can have far reaching effects throughout the body and can lead to heel pain, leg pain, knee and back pain.
Why are orthotics helpful for back pain?
Lower back pain can very often be directly attributed to excess pronation of the feet. As the feet roll in (pronate) the hips tip forward and increase pressure in the lower back region.
How does Orthaheel Orthotics compare to a custom / tailor made rigid orthotic?
Independent clinical tests have shown that when it comes to patient outcomes, there are negligible differences between custom orthotics and semi-rigid prefabricated orthotics.
Wearing in orthotics
It may take a few days for your feet to become accustomed to the orthotics. If any discomfort occurs, then we suggest you remove them for one or two hours, then replace them and continue to remove and replace them until comfortable.

How long do Orthaheel orthotics last?
Activity levels and individual's weight are two of the key variables that determine Orthaheel's longevity. As a rule of thumb, they should last 9 - 12 months before replacement. This is usually determined by a return of symptom, as the control of the orthotic is reduced by compression.
