Sensitive feet require more attention than your average pair of feet. If you have sensitive feet, you know how important it is to wear the right shoes, keep your feet protected and try to stay off of them when they are at their most sensitive peak. This is where Lynco Orthotics comes into play. They have a special line of insoles that cater to sensitive feet. The Lynco L200 Conform Orthotics are great for conforming to your foot and supporting in areas of need and backing off in areas that don’t need so much support. These particular insoles work well for people who suffer from arthritis or diabetes which cause sensitive feet. So, if you are looking for an orthotic that can improve the feel of your sensitive feet, try any of the L200 Series Lynco Orthotics.

• Neutral Heel – No heel modifications whatsoever
• Metatarsal Pad – Offers support for the balls of the feet
• Posted Heel – correct pronation issues, this is typically prescribed by a podiatrist
• Orthotic – arch support, comfort and cushioning

Make sure you pick an insole that has the features you need. An orthotic will support your arches and cushioning in the right spots. If you have pain in the balls of your feet, make sure the insole has a metatarsal pad. If you have been prescribed a posted heel before, then you will want an insole that has it. Otherwise, stay away from posted heel insoles if you do not require them. As with all orthotics, it will take some time for your feet to adjust so make sure you give your feet ample time to get used to your new Lynco Orthotics.

Foot pain radiates through the entire body affecting other areas of your body and can also alter your personality and state of mind. You are less likely to engage in any activities you normally would because you know how bad the pain feels or will feel. Foot pain can also physically harm other parts of your body because you may walk differently or favor one side more than the other. This could lead to other parts of the body becoming sore or hurt such as your legs or back. Essentially, the foot pain can lead to other pains in the body that are unnecessary.

It is unfortunate, but true. This is why it is important to treat your symptoms and prevent your feet from going through the same pain and torture. There are a variety of products out there such as orthotics that can help prevent foot pain from occurring.

Orthotics, by there very construction, are designed to support weak arches. The support that orthotics offer will prevent the plantar fascia from tearing and becoming inflamed, which then leads to no arch foot pain. Great right? Right! Say goodbye to arch foot pain once your feet get a hold of a good pair of orthotics. Is important to keep in mind though that your feet will need time to adjust to the orthotics. They can be uncomfortable in the beginning, kind of like wearing a new pair of shoes the first couple of times. Once your feet get used to the new supports, it is smooth sailing from then on out!

What are Orthotics?
Orthotics are devices used within your shoes to help alleviate pain and correct various foot problems.

Will Orthotics make my feet hurt?
When you first start to wear them, yes. Just like wearing a new pair of shoes, your feet will need to adjust. Since orthotics typically have built in arch supports and other foot correcting devices, your feet may become sore after the first few times the insoles are worn. However, the pain will subside and your feet will feel better than ever!

Are Orthotics expensive
Depending on the brand and whether or not your have them custom made can make the price jump up or down. Over the counter orthotics are much cheaper than custom orthotics. Lynco Orthotics start at about $40 per pair. Orthotics typically last about 6 months to a year, sometimes longer depending on how much wear and tear they go through. They are definitely not a bad investment.

Will Orthotics help me?
If they have been prescribed to you by a doctor then most definitely yes. If you are trying them out on your own, there are certain conditions or pain areas that can benefit from orthotics such as arch foot pain or heel pain. If you are not experiencing this type of foot pain, then a traditional insole would be better suited for your feet. However, do remember that you should give you feet ample time to adjust to the new support system before making any final rulings as to whether or not the insoles are working for you.

Lynco Orthotics offers the following Series of insoles:

• Lynco L200 Series insoles for diabetes & arthritis
• Lynco L400 Series Sports Orthotics

Lynco L505 Dress Orthotic has a neutral heel and a metatarsal pad. In layman’s term, it means that it is not a posted heel used to correct foot alignment but it does offer cushioning and support for the balls of your feet (metatarsal pad). This insole is designed for tighter fitting dress shoes, so it’s perfect for work or a night on the town. Give this insole a try if you are looking for a 3/4 length insole for your uncomfortable dress shoes.

Causes of Over-Pronation (Flat Feet): genetics, obesity, pregnancy, constantly walking on hard surfaces and a variety of other factors can lead to the development of flat feet.

Treatment: Luckily, over-pronation can be treated. The easiest way is though the use of over-the-counter orthotics. These can be placed inside your shoes and range from full length to 3/4 length that can be moved from shoe to shoe. Orthotics provide the much needed support that flat feet lack. Although they take some getting used to, orthotics will prevent the tearing and inflammation of the plantar fascia thus alleviating pain. Orthotics also ensure that your foot is aligned properly.
