Here is a case of a young man who had a pair of rigid orthotics that he felt were very uncomfortable. He had been wearing them for a long time as this was the only help he could come up with. After finding out about soft/functional orthotics, he decided to give them a try. Needless to say he finds them far more comfortable than his previous pair. This was a first pass with the posting the orthotic, and I would bet in a short period of time, we may actually increase the amount of posting though you can see here the improvement in the angle of his Achilles tendon.
