We’ve covered the necessity of orthotics on many occasions. We’ve discussed the four key benefits of wearing custom orthotics along with an insightful analysis into unexpected things they can help you with in life. In fact, our site can be considered to be a wealth of information on the subject. We’ve almost run out of related topics to address.
Almost.
At press, the autumn season is coming to a close, which leads us to the reality that if you don’t already wear orthotics, winter is the time to get on board. Why? Below is a practical breakdown of why anyone with any issue with their gait (manner of walking) should wear orthotics in the winter.
3 Practical Reason to Get Custom Orthotics Before the Arrival of Winter in Greater Vancouver BC
You Need More Walking Stability During the Winter
Custom orthotics’ sole purpose (pun intended) is to correct issues with the manner of which you walk. In doing so, they enhance your balance. There is nary a more pressing time of the year to call upon your balance to prevent injury than in the winter. The sidewalks and pathways to/from your home, place of work, shopping, and leisure destinations will be slick, wet, icy, and covered in snow throughout the next three months or so. While a good pair of winter boots help, what goes inside of them counts just as much. Get outfitted for custom orthotics at our clinic today to ensure you gain better stability and balance for your winter walks.
You Need Greater Comfort in the Winter
Winter footwear is very rarely comfortable. You’re layered up in socks and stockings to keep warm, and jamming them into heavy duty shoes and boots. You chalk the seasonal discomfort up to this fact, but did you consider that it’s not so much the layers that are the problem? That’s right, the lack of comfort (all season, really) is often due to issues with your gait. By getting fitted for custom orthotics at our clinic, you’re more likely to enjoy a more comfortable winter from head…to toe.
