Orthotic insoles versus footwear design: reassessing approaches in the management of foot pain

The manuscript "Orthotic Insoles Versus Footwear Design: Reassessing Approaches in the Management of Foot Pain" evaluates the effectiveness of orthotic insoles compared to ergonomically designed footwear in treating foot pain. Recent systematic reviews cast doubt on the efficacy of insoles, suggesting that footwear selection might be more crucial than previously thought. Well-designed footwear can improve posture, reduce injury risks, and enhance comfort. Greater attention to footwear quality in clinical recommendations is essential to optimize foot disorder treatments
