7 Orthotic Insoles Myths Costing UK Walkers Comfort (NHS Podiatrists Are Furious!)

7 Common Myths About Orthotic Insoles – Busted by UK Podiatrists

In the UK, millions struggle with foot, knee, and back pain—but many avoid orthotics due to myths. We teamed up with UK podiatrists to bust 7 big ones.

✅ Myth 1: "Orthotic Insoles Are Only for the Elderly"

🔎 Truth: Insoles benefit everyone—from school kids to athletes. Many UK sports teams use them for performance and injury prevention.

✅ Myth 2: "You Can Only Get Good Ones from the NHS"

🔎 Truth: NHS wait times exceed 12–18 months. Private orthotics like RS ComForTIs offer NHS-grade support—delivered in 72 hours.

✅ Myth 3: "Custom Insoles Are Too Expensive"

🔎 Truth: RS ComForTIs start at just £90 with free fitting kits and summer discounts—far cheaper than private clinics charging £300+.

✅ Myth 4: "They Don’t Fit My Stylish Shoes"

🔎 Truth: Our insoles are slim-fit, full-length or 3/4, and work with most UK footwear—from brogues to boots to running trainers.

✅ Myth 5: "They’re the Same as Gel Pads from the High Street"

🔎 Truth: Not even close. High-street inserts are generic. Ours are milled to 0.1mm precision from your foot scan.

✅ Myth 6: "You Don’t Need Them Unless You Have Serious Pain"

🔎 Truth: Prevention is key. Even mild discomfort or fatigue can lead to serious joint problems if untreated.

✅ Myth 7: "Once You Wear Them, You Can’t Stop"

🔎 Truth: Insoles help retrain your posture—not create dependence. Many users reduce usage after correction and strengthening.

FACT: Our podiatrist-approved insoles are used by Premier League athletes, NHS nurses, and everyday professionals across the UK.
