Back Pain Orthotics
Designed to address the source of discomfort, restore balance, and support all-day mobility
These orthotics are specifically designed to support the feet while helping reduce strain that can contribute to back pain. The polypropylene shell provides firm structural support, while the EVA top layer adds cushioning and shock absorption to reduce impact during walking, standing, and other daily activities. By stabilising the foot and improving alignment, these orthotics can help alleviate biomechanical stress that travels up through the ankles, knees, and lower back.

Instructions for Use
-
Remove Existing Insoles
Take out any removable insoles from your shoes before inserting the orthotic to ensure proper fit. -
Insert the Orthotic Correctly
Place the orthotic into the shoe with the heel seated firmly at the back and the arch aligned with your natural arch. -
Check Fit Before Walking
Ensure the orthotic lies flat, does not slide, and edges do not curl. Your foot should feel supported but stable. -
Wear With Suitable Footwear
Designed for shoes with enough internal space, but still choose footwear with a firm heel counter. Avoid very soft, unsupportive shoes. -
Wear With Socks or Stockings
Socks or stockings reduce friction during the break-in period and improve comfort.
Break-In Period
Because this orthotic features an arch support, it may feel firm or uncomfortable initially. This is normal and expected.
Recommended Break-In Schedule
-
Days 1–3: Wear for 1–2 hours per day
-
Days 4–6: Increase to 3–4 hours per day
-
Days 7–10: Gradually increase to all-day wear as tolerated
Important Tips
-
Mild arch or muscle soreness is common during the adjustment phase.
-
If discomfort becomes sharp or painful, remove the orthotics and reduce wear time the next day.
-
Do not attempt to “push through” significant pain — gradual adaptation is key.
Most users fully adapt within 1–2 weeks, after which the orthotic should feel supportive and comfortable. Following the break-in period, our orthotics can be worn during everyday activities, beginning with walking and standing, and gradually increasing activity levels.
Care & Maintenance
-
Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed
-
Do not machine wash or soak
-
Air dry only — keep away from direct heat
-
Transfer between similar shoe types if required

Back Pain Orthotics
Everything you need to know
Clear answers, clinically backed—so you can move forward with confidence.
How do I know which Orthotics are right for me?
We offer an easy-to-use interactive quiz that helps determine the best Orthotics for your needs. Answer a few quick questions, and we'll recommend the perfect fit for your condition.
Can I wear these Orthotics in any type of shoes?
No. Orthotics fit best in shoes with enough depth, a removable insole, and a rounded toe box—such as trainers, leather shoes, walking shoes and boots. If a shoe does not have enough space such as court shoes, or narrow-toed boots; a ¾ metatarsal-length orthotic is recommended to provide support while fitting more comfortably.
How long does it take to feel the benefits?
This varies from person to person and depends on factors such as the type and severity of the condition, how long it has been present, and individual lifestyle demands. It is recommended to give orthotics at least 8 weeks of consistent wear to assess their full effect
Are your Orthotics suitable for people with specific foot conditions?
Absolutely! Our Orthotics provide support and relief for common foot issues like plantar fasciitis, heel pain, flat feet, overpronation, ankle pain, toe pain and much more. Please complete our Quiz to find the best fit for you.
