Do you think i should get orthotics or shoes? which is easier to manage?

Orthotics: This is pretty vague. It depends on what the need is . For diabetics , if you meet the criteria for medicare , shoes would be the way to go. In general , for many conditions , orthotics are extremely helpful. See you or podiatrist for assistance.
