Custom foot orthotics are custom-made inserts that go into your shoes to address many types of foot disorders. They provide support, correction and cushioning to improve foot performance and comfort.

Orthotics help problems such as back, knee, hip or heel pain, but they can also help prevent future problems from occurring. Speak with your physician or book an appointment for a consultation with our highly qualified Pedorthists.

Orthotics are designed to treat foot disorders, not cause them. However, custom foot orthotics change your foot posture, so a break-in period of 1-2 weeks is normal. Slowly increasing your wear by 1 hour per day should help minimize any initial discomfort.

Custom orthotics are designed to fit a certain type of shoe and there are many styles of orthotics. If the shoe has a removable footbed that is deep enough it should accommodate a custom foot orthotic nicely. However, moving that same orthotic to sandals or dress shoes may be challenging. These types of shoes may require a separate orthotic with a different design.

Orthotics may be recommended for children with severe flat foot, congenital deformities, or biomechanical issues causing injury. Parents should speak with their physician about the need for orthotics for their children at around age 6. Orthotics can provide support to the growing skeletal system.
