Participants in Group A will receive the Orthotic with the metatarsal pad (L 2305) according to participants shoe size (https://www.aetrex.com/search?q=l2305\&search-button=\&lang=en\_US). When the investigators provide the Orthotics, an instruction sheet will also be provided, explaining how to use the orthotic. Alternatively, an online video tutorial on how to use the Orthotic will also be available throughout the study. Participants will be required to use the Orthotic wherever possible for a period of 6 weeks, whilst continuing with usual activities.

Participants in Group B will receive the neutral Orthotic with a cupped heel (L 2300) according to participants shoe size (https://www.aetrex.com/search?q=l2300\&search-button=\&lang=en\_US). When the investigators provide the Orthotics, an instruction sheet will also be provided, explaining how to use the Orthotic. Alternatively, an online video tutorial on how to use the Orthotic will also be available throughout the study. Participants will be required to use the Orthotic wherever possible for a period of 6 weeks, whilst continuing with usual activities

An Orthotic insole to be inserted into shoes. Features Aetrex Arch Support to help biomechanically align the body & help prevent common foot pain such as Plantar Fasciitis, Arch Pain and Metatarsalgia. For medium to high arches with forefoot pain, featuring a cupped heel to cushion and stabilize the back of foot and a metatarsal pad to redistribute weight to relieve ball-of-foot discomfort. With 43% more memory foam in the forefoot for those experiencing foot discomfort or fatigue.

Pain scores will be collected using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) as follows: Levels of pain on a 0 to 10 scale with 0 representing no pain, 2 - mild pain, 5 - moderate pain, 7 - severe pain, and 10 represents extremely severe pain. Utilization of this scale is in line with previous research [and will measure pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back.](streamdown:incomplete-link)

Foot Pain & Functionality scores will be collected using the FHSQ or Foot Health Status Questionnaire. The Foot Health Status Questionnaire is designed to assess foot pain, foot health and its relation to quality of life. The questionnaire has four domains consisting of 13 key items. The four domains are; foot pain, foot function, footwear and general foot health. The current study will only use the 2 subsections of Foot Pain and Foot Function. In these subsections, participants will be required to rate foot pain in the last week from 1 (none) to 5 (severe), how often the participant experienced different types of foot pain during the last week from 1 (never) to 5 (always), how much the participants feet interfered with everyday activities in the last week from 1 (not at all) to 5 (extremely) and overall foot health from 1 (excellent) to 5 (poor). Previous research has found the FHSQ to exhibit a strong degree of context, criterion and construct validity with high retest reliability.

All the participants would undergo analysis with the Gaitway scanner. The results of the scanner will only be documented for purposes of the study and the results of the scanning will not be used to determine the Orthotic the individual participant receives.
