Re: How long should an orthotic last?

Posted by Janine on 1/15/99
We would love to do the refurbishing while you wait, but unless you are within driving distance of Bohemia, NY, you would have to send them in to us. I can have them on the way back out to you within a day of receiving them, however. If you can't stand being without your orthotics, I would recommend a second pair.

You could either get the exact same style, or you might even want to go with a pair for different shoes, that you don't get to wear now, because your orthotics don't fit into them. For example, if you have orthotics for a sneaker, you could get a pair for your dressier shoes, (not necessarily pumps, but more conservative dress shoes that sport orthotics wouldn't fit into normally.)

Most people choose to go this route, since it provides them with a variety of shoe styles, but if not, then an "emergency pair" for just such an occasion is good to have as well. If the shell of your orthotic were to crack, you would have to have it remade, which would take a little while to do, and if you can't walk without them, a second pair is highly reccommended.

Good luck.
