Is It Time to Update Your Orthotics?
Orthotics are custom medical devices made to fit inside your shoes and correct biomechanical foot imbalances. They improve comfort while walking, standing, or running — and help manage conditions such as flat feet, arthritis, bursitis, and other chronic foot and ankle issues.
At The Foot Docs in Las Vegas, our specialists design durable, precision-made orthotics that deliver long-term support and relief tailored to your lifestyle. Whether you’re an athlete, a professional on your feet all day, or someone seeking better balance and posture, the right orthotics can make a lasting difference.
How Long Do Orthotics Last?
The lifespan of custom orthotics depends on several factors — your activity level, shoe quality, and how well you care for them. On average, orthotics last 2–3 years, but with proper care and supportive footwear, they can last 5–7 years or more.
If you’re highly active or frequently engage in high-impact activities like running, your orthotics may wear out sooner. Pairing them with worn-out shoes can also reduce their effectiveness, while supportive footwear helps them last longer and perform better.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Orthotics
Even if they still look fine, your orthotics might be due for an update if you notice:
- Visible wear or cracks in the materials
- Reduced comfort or new soreness in your feet, ankles, knees, or back
- Lifestyle or foot changes, such as new injuries, aging, or increased activity levels
To keep your orthotics performing at their best, we recommend an annual evaluation to check for wear and make any necessary adjustments.
Advanced Orthotics Technology at The Foot Docs
At The Foot Docs, we use cutting-edge diagnostic and scanning technology to create precise, comfortable, and effective orthotics designed specifically for your needs.
- 3D Scanning Technology: Our digital foot scanner creates a detailed model of your feet for a perfect fit — without the mess of traditional plaster casting.
We design orthotics for a wide range of uses, including:
- Sports-specific orthotics for active patients and athletes
- Activity-specific orthotics for walking, hiking, or running
- Dress orthotics slim enough to fit into business or formal shoes
Pairing Orthotics with the Right Footwear
Orthotics perform best when paired with supportive, high-quality shoes. Footwear with firm heel counters, proper cushioning, and built-in arch support enhances both comfort and orthotic performance. During your visit, our doctors can recommend footwear that complements your orthotics and daily activities.
Step into the Year with Better Support
If your orthotics are more than a couple of years old — or if you’re noticing new discomfort — now’s the perfect time to have them evaluated.
Whether you’re looking to refresh worn-out orthotics or upgrade to sports, dress, or activity-specific designs, The Foot Docs can help you move with better comfort, stability, and confidence.📞 Call 702-530-2283
