Orthotics are foot devices which serve many purposes. They can provide arch support, weight redistribution, cushioning and even back and knee support. Most orthotics are custom from a plaster cast. They are available in many materials and range from rigid to soft and flexible.
Orthotics on there own will not do the job they are designed for unless they are inserted into the correct footwear. The appropriate shoes are determined by the specific foot and the orthotic. Typically the shoe must be deep enough to house the orthotic and include a rigid heel counter. Lace up styles are best because of the adjustability they provide. However today there are many alternatives with Velcro or even slip on styles.
Examples of some of the many orthotic friendly shoes available at Miller shoes include SAS (Freetime, Taketime, Viva, Twin, Timeout and Aboutime). Munro America (Kellie, Monarch, Cindi, Susan, Liz, Jolie). Rockport (World Tour, Beech Tree, Simulator, Faisel, Dress Sport, XCS and many more). Miller Shoes offers a great selection from other brands such as Ecco, Dunham, Aravon, Clarks, Privo and Josef Seibel. Athletic footwear is generally very good and we offer the finest selection of New Balance in all their widths and sizes in the area. Miller Shoes also offers current selections from Nike. Miller Shoes even has some designer labels with removable insoles such as Icon, Cole Haan, Mephisto, Bacco Bucci and Alen Edmonds.

Remember when selecting the correct shoes for your orthotics keep in mind the purpose you will be wearing these shoes for. You will not receive the full benefit of your orthotics if they are not housed in the correct footwear. Miller shoes has a staff very experienced in dealing with foot problems and handling orthotics.
