Quick question here - in 8th grade I had custom orthotics made and have worn those and over-the-counter orthotics since then on and off. To clarify, they actually weren’t medically prescribed. I don’t “need” them but if my feet start to hurt I’d like to have them.

I assume (although I could be wrong) that I can bring over-the-counter orthotics to I-Day, but the custom ones probably not. Does anyone know which ones I can/cannot bring because I’d like to have both pairs at my disposal just in case.
Thanks.

you can bring and wear orthotics - mine took over the counter ones to plebe summer and asked on a phone call to bring more for PPW - she wears them in all her shoes all the time!

Yes you can bring orthotics and you’re encouraged to wear them. If any one needs them, they can visit Brigade Medical during the academic year and custom orthotics will be made for them.
