A member asked:
I have a severely collapsed arch in one foot and am looking at custom orthotics, should i definitely use neutral rather than 'supportive' shoes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arch collapse: What is your other foot like ? Is it also collapsed? If not you may have ruptured a tendon which holds up the arch . You should be evaluated . Either way if custom orthotics are recommended . Place them in a neutral shoe
