Re-casting is not usually necessary unless your feet have changed or new symptoms have emerged or returned. It’s good practice to have your orthoses checked every two years or so. If you are currently benefiting from your orthoses and your feet have not changed, re-casting is unnecessary.

At a follow-up recheck visit, the top covers will show the weight distribution pattern on worn orthoses and this provides an accurate way to assess the effectiveness and accuracy of the orthoses over time and to determine whether or not re-casting is indicated. Over the course of 45 years, the percentage of folks who need to be re-casted by Footco is about 10%.
