Boots Orthotics

I noticed this week that Boots.com have their own brand orthotics (insoles) on BOGOF. Checking instore there were no BOGOF tickets on display and the pharmacy assistant had no idea that they were on offer. It was only when I asked her to check them on the till that we realised the offer applied instore as well.
I assume all the Boots Advanced Healthcare foot stuff is included, but nothing was ticketed instore yet!

    I wear orthotics....I get a free pair every year made to fit exactly from the NHS...I had problems for a while, was referred by a podiatrist to a biomechanical specialist at the hospital ,which resulted in the made to measure orthotics. I am 45 so I guess anyone with problems would qualify

    It was actually my daughter's podiatrist who recommended off-the-peg orthotics! He said the waiting list for them in our area was horrendous and the ones in Boots would be just as effective for her degree of pronation (which was causing severe joint pain in her feet).

    I did originally buy off the peg orthotics but joined the waiting list for the hospital (norfolk) and now as said before I get a pair a year free.

    They actually make plaster casts of your feet and make the orthotics from them.

    Worth getting on the waiting list for two reasons.

    1. made to measure

    2. never have to buy any again
