As a board-certified podiatrist practicing on Park Avenue in NYC, with over two decades of experience in foot and ankle biomechanics, I’ve evaluated countless over-the-counter orthotics. Many offer either cushioning or support, but few strike the right balance between the two. The Tendon orthotics stand out in this regard. These orthotics are well-constructed and provide an excellent combination of support and cushioning, making them a great option for individuals dealing with foot fatigue, mild overpronation, or general arch support needs. Unlike many OTC insoles that focus solely on shock absorption, the Tendon orthotics offer some functional correction, which is crucial for maintaining proper biomechanics and reducing strain on the feet, knees, and even lower back. One unique feature that sets them apart is their antibacterial properties, which help control odor and maintain foot hygiene—an
often-overlooked but important aspect of foot health. Overall, the Tendon orthotics outperform many other OTC options on the market by providing both comfort and functional support, rather than just cushioning. The Tendon insoles are an excellent choice for those seeking high-quality,
over-the-counter foot support.
