Custom Orthotics

Overview

Precision-Crafted for Your Feet

Our custom orthotics are, in every sense of the word, custom. Plaster moldings are taken of each foot to ensure the orthotic has maximum contact and support to stabilize your feet. Our process takes a little longer but is the most accurate and detailed method available.

Each custom orthotic is precisely fitted to your foot — with different specifications depending on your foot shape, size, body weight, and activity level. They are also commonly called insoles for shoes, insoles for flat feet, or inserts for flat feet.

Types

Three Types of Custom Orthotics

Rigid Orthotics

Designed to control function and composed of firm materials such as plastic or carbon fiber. Used primarily for walking or dress shoes, rigid orthotics control motion in the two major foot joints below the ankle joint — helping to eliminate strains, aches, and pains in the legs, thighs, and lower back.

Soft Orthotics

Made of soft, cushioned materials that absorb shock, increase balance, and take pressure off uncomfortable or sore spots. Especially effective for back-of-heel pain and for diabetic, arthritic, and deformed feet.

Semi-Rigid Orthotics

Provide foot balance for walking or sports. Made of layers of soft material reinforced with more rigid components. Often prescribed for children with flatfoot or gait disorders, and for athletes managing pain during training and competition.
