I'm Leah Waters, and I'm a Podiatrist and owner of the Pivotal Podiatry Clinic.
When it comes to buying off the shelf orthotics from a Chemist, there is a lot of choice and it can be hard to know which are the best orthotics to buy. The good things is that I've taken the time to review the best orthotics to help you make the right decision for the foot problem you're trying to solve with orthotics.
As a Podiatrist I've seen thousands of patients over the years with foot problems that need orthotics as part of their treatment plan. I've seen a lot of good over the counter orthotics and I've seen plenty of bad ones.
