There are several general guidelines to keep in mind when buying corrective shoes:
First of all, one should avoid raised heels in order to prevent cramping and potential deformity in the toe area, ensure adequate distribution of weight across the foot, and to promote good posture.
A flexible sole is also important, as stiff soles impede movement and stunt the development of healthy foot mobility and strength, particularly in children.
Nonslip soles are also ideal, as they help to reduce the chance of falling and becoming injured.
Ample toe room is essential, as corrective shoes that are too large can slip, and shoes that are too small can of course constrain the foot, often in painful ways. A good rule of thumb is to measure the width of one finger from the tip of the big toe to the wall of the
shoe.

The athletes came back with great reviews and the sneakers were well received in the market.

Because each orthotic is made specifically from a structurally corrected mold of the foot, the alteration and improvement of foot function is dramatically improved over that of less specific over-the-counter inserts and inserts made of a non-corrected mold of the foot.
