Custom Orthotics
About Orthotics
Custom orthotics are specialized shoe inserts designed to provide personalized support and alignment for an individual’s feet.
Our orthotics are hand-made from a 3-D cast of the feet. Materials are selected and may range from soft foam to rigid plastic, depending on the patient’s feet, footwear, and activities. Individual features (such as metatarsal pads and heel lifts) are also designed specifically for each patient.
This is a true custom-made medical device.

When this occurs, simply book a follow up for our specialists to make minor changes on site or shipped to the lab for modifications.
