Plantar fasciitis is a condition characterized by chronic heel pain, particularly during the initial stages of walking. The plantar fascia, a band of connective tissue that supports the bottom of the foot, becomes irritated and thickened in individuals with plantar fasciitis, leading to significant discomfort and difficulty walking. Traditional remedies for plantar fasciitis include rest, ice packs, and over-the-counter pain medications. However, for many, these measures are not only inadequate but can also lead to frustration and a lack of mobility.
Enter Dr. Scholl's® Plantar Fasciitis All-Day Pain Relief Orthotics. These innovative insoles are specifically designed to alleviate the profound discomfort associated with plantar fasciitis. Whether you're an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone who's simply on their feet too much, Dr. Scholl's orthotics offer a non-invasive solution to this commonfoot ailment.
What Are Dr. Scholl's® Plantar Fasciitis Orthotics?
Dr. Scholl's orthotics are a line of high-quality, medical-grade insoles designed to address the discomfort caused by plantar fasciitis. Made from durable materials and engineered with advanced technology, these orthotics provide targeted support and cushioning to the entire footprint, including the heel, arch, and balls of the feet. The unique design of the orthotics allows them to conform to the unique shape of your feet, ensuring maximum comfort and support.
How Do Dr. Scholl's® Orthotics Work?
Dr. Scholl's orthotics work by distributing weight evenly across the entire footprint, reducing the pressure on the heels and balls of the feet.

How Are Dr. Scholl's® Plantar Fasciitis Orthotics Used?
Using Dr. Scholl's® plantar fasciitis orthotics is straightforward. Here's a brief overview of the steps to follow:
-
Remove Insoles: Remove the insoles from the shoes you currently wear. If they are not removable, carefully cut away the insole where it meets the sole of your foot to create a smooth surface.
-
Trim Insoles: Use a sharp pair of scissors to carefully trim the insole along the outlines that match your shoe size, making sure that the orthotic layer is flush with the bottom of the sole.
-
Insert Insoles: Place the trimmed insoles into your shoes, ensuring that they are positioned flat against the ground. If needed, add additional thickness to the orthotic to ensure a proper fit.
-
Wear Shoes: Begin wearing your shoes as usual, allowing the Dr. Scholl's orthotics to provide support and comfort throughout the day.
-
Replace orthotics: After several months of regular use, or as soon as you notice a decline in comfort or an increase in heel pain, it may be time to replace the insoles.
