As we get older, our bodies inevitably change. After many years of wear and tear on our bodies, the elderly population faces different challenges, including the need of extra support for our feet.

As people age, they often experience changes in their feet and walking patterns, which can lead to conditions such as plantar fasciitis, overpronation, and flat feet. Arch supports can help to alleviate these conditions by providing the necessary support and alignment to help maintain proper foot health.

Additionally, arch supports can also help to reduce the risk of falls in older individuals. Poor foot health, combined with balance and mobility issues, can increase the risk of falls in older adults, but arch supports can provide the necessary stability and support to help prevent falls.

Arch supports can also be beneficial for older individuals with conditions such as arthritis or neuropathy. These conditions can cause pain and discomfort in the feet, but arch supports can help to alleviate this pain by providing the necessary support and alignment to help redistribute weight and reduce stress on the feet.

It’s important to note that not all arch supports are the same. Out-of-the-box drugstore style arch supports will not fit the same or provide the same support and benefit as arch supports that are custom-fitted by a professional, who will determine the best type of support for your individual needs.
