Went to have my gait analyzed and get fitted for new orthotics today, since my knee has been mysteriously hurting and my orthotics are like ten years old. Surprise: the pedorthist (what a word!) said to start weaning myself off orthotics and move toward more minimalist shoes.

Nice! Yeah, according to this guy who helped me they're not just an option, but a strong recommendation! I learned afterward that he has some videos:https://youtu.be/ZEzIqnuJbRM

they feel great imo - just don’t start out doing too much at once if you give it a try, it’s a different way of walking, more conscious, and you kind of have to learn to walk again

I love them for backpacking and one of my friends who used to have terrible knee problems had much better backpacking results in 5 fingers than in her hiking boots with half a dozen alterations/orthotics - depends on the issues though
