If you were having issues then I'd suggest it's a personal choice - some people get relief, some get worse, and most are somewhere in between. There are certainly more active, cheaper options out there.
Orthotics are likely going to have minimal effect on any prevention of joint issues in the future. Arguably they'll help prevent overuse / malalignment issues with running or potentially walking / standing - though these injuries again can be addressed through cheaper options.
If the cost for them is out of your own pocket I'd suggest holding off on them.
