A member asked:
1 foot arch much lower than other. can't afford custom orthotics. will dr scholls machine tell if feet are different to buy 2 different supports?

Be seen: You may want to be seen. The bigger question is really why one arch is higher than the other and are orthotics for that even appropriate. It is unusual for one arch to be higher than the other without something being wrong with one or both if the feet. Tarsal coalition is just one example if this and in general an orthotic would not be real helpful.
