An adjustable orthotic (40) comprises a top section (42), a pad section (44) comprising pads (48) and, if desired, a bottom section. The top section has a surface which is disposed to contact a user's foot. The pad section is disposed to rest directly on the footbed of a shoe or through the intermedia ry of a bottom section on the footbed. The pad section includes at least one pa d positioned between the top section and the footbed or bottom section. A hook - and-loop fastening system includes one or more hook members (50) and loop members (52) that releasably secure the pad or pads to at least one of the t op section, the bottom section and the footbed. The top section may be formed from a component (56) whose material is of a compressible resilient material and, if desired, a conformable non-compressible component. In the absence of the conformable non-compressible component, the hook member or the loop memb er is directly adhered to the compressible resilient material. The shoe footbed may be recessed to form a cavity into which the orthotic is placed, to provi de the shoe with a slim-line fashionable appearance.
