Orthotics
Hey Ed,
I wear foam inserts purely for comfort. However when i was younger i did wear them, and orthotics as I experienced ankle troubles which have since resolved.
I was wearing the inserts when I had my Assesment day medical and the doctor told me that it was her understanding that you cannot wear any sort of insert for the first six weeks of training (ADFA) however after that it was permisable. Don't quote me on this, but none the less it was what i was told.
Cheers
Nick
