For athletes, constantly improving their function and form is crucial to achieve winning results.  In cases where an athlete or highly active individual has an abnormal walking or “gait” pattern, orthotics may provide assistance.

Lower limb injuries such as shin splints, Achilles tendonopathy and patellofemoral syndrome are often associated with sport and physical activity.  Clinically I have found orthotics to be very effective in improving the recovery of these conditions.  I often recommend that recovery of the injury or condition be done in conjunction with stretching and conditioning.  Click to read more!

Hmmm… might not want to wear these!

These flip flops will keep your feet cool!  :)  

These are not the most pedorthic friendly shoes but they are very cool nonetheless.  Great for throwing in your backpack as a backup.

Interesting article on wearing proper footwear in the winter and how it can prevent falls.  And how dressing appropriately for the weather (to keep warm) can also keep you safe.
