I have a pair of shoe orthotics made of some sort of cork material. I looked around on the web and was shocked at the wide variety of excellent orthotics out there, and how cheap and flimsy mine are. Yet another reason not to shop at Bio-Tech, Greensboro folks! I'll take a pic of the things and post it here. I was warned that they'll wear out within a year so when I get the new ones made (not by Bio-Tech hahaha), my search on the web just now gives me some idea of what to ask for by way of composite, soft, long-lasting materials. It's not a matter of "you get what you pay for" either, I could have paid less elsewhere and gotten better orthotics - I paid a pretty penny for what I got at Bio... in other words, they ripped me off. Oh, and I heard from the BBB about them yesterday... they refuse to talk to the BBB about my case... "privacy". Well, I'll fix them come Monday morning, I'm going to go and waive my right to privacy totally.
