If you have ever dealt with foot pain, you’ve probably heard of custom-made orthotic insoles; maybe you’ve even used some in the past.

In short, custom-made orthotics are highly customised shoe inserts that can help alleviate foot pain and promote long-term foot health. Unfortunately, until now, the only way to get your hands on orthotics is via in-person podiatry visits and forking out a whopping $600 - $900. 

But guess what? An Australian organisation called StepBetter are now letting you order custom-made orthotics, designed and prescribed by Aussie podiatrists, right from your couch. How convenient is that? 

If you’ve been thinking about buying custom made orthotics, here are five reasons you may want to consider saving 40% of the cost and purchasing online.

 

Reason 1: Convenience

Instead of taking time to book a consultation, drive in traffic, find parking, and twiddle your thumbs in a meeting room, you can now order your orthotics online and have them delivered right to your door. Telehealth has been around for a while now; why hasn’t someone come up with this earlier?

 

Reason 2: Cost-effective

The traditional process of buying custom-made orthotics can be expensive due to all the overheads that come with it, such as rent, staffing, and bills. However, since StepBetter is 100% online, it has cut these costs and passed the savings down you our customers, who are saving up to 40% on custom made orthotics.

 

Reason 3: Accessibility

According to the Australian Journal of Rural Health, there is a shortage of podiatrists and limited access to podiatry services (i.e. custom orthotics) in rural Australia. StepBetter is on a mission to provide everyone with access to custom orthotics by promoting a 100% online service that anyone with an internet connection and postal address can utilise.

 

Reason 4: Quality 

StepBetter uses the latest orthotic manufacturing technology, such as 3D printing, to ensure the highest possible orthotics for our customers. As a result, our orthotics are the best on the market, long-lasting, comfortable and with a money-back guarantee.

 

Buying custom-made orthotic insoles online is a more convenient and cost-effective option available for more people. It’s the way of the future.
