Foot FAQ/Fact Friday Q: Can you wear orthotics in skates and ski boots? A: The short answer is yes. ... No matter the activity, if your feet need some extra support or cushioning a custom orthotic can be made to work with your feet and fit in the appropriate footwear. Skates and ski boots require a lower profile orthotic that has a shape that reflects the contours of the inside of the footwear. Because skates and ski boots generally have a firm/stiff boot they act differently then your regular day to day footwear. Having orthotics made specifically for this type of footwear means you can put them in and leave them there. In addition to the unique fit requirements, the actions that your feet perform inside skates or ski boots can be very different from those in your street shoes and the orthotics may require different specifications. Your Canadian Certified Pedorthist will ask you to bring in your skates or ski boots to your initial assessment and when fitting the orthotics. Some C. Ped (C)s are also skilled in modifying your winter sports footwear for things like bony prominences. In most cases you’ll need to have your custom orthotics made specifically for your skates and ski boots as it is unlikely that they will be interchangeable to other footwear like running shoes or sandals.
