Support or control? What Dr. Reed Ferber says is the key to an effective orthotic
"Using a model of the plantar fascia of the foot, we measured how much strain could be reduced by wearing an orthotic device. We learned that a custom orthotic, which can cost upwards of $450, isn't the only preventative measure for plantar fasciitis. An over-the-counter device like SOLE – which is what we used – is also very effective at reducing stress and strain in the foot" - Dr. Ferber, University of Calgary Running Injury Clinic
