what is Custom foot orthotics?

Custom foot orthotics are shoe inserts that are prescribed and designed by chiropodist / foot specialist and are individually manufactured for your feet. The goal of orthotics is to make you walk better, walk further and most importantly walk with more comfort.

A full biomechanical assessment and gait analysis are required to examine your feet and to design your custom foot orthotics. Then, both feet will be casted with plater or scanned with 3D foot scanner to capture a 3D volumetric impression of your feet. This will ensure the orthotics will be a precise fit for the maximum support. Orthotics are available in various designs and finishes to accommodate individual need for footwear. Our chiropodist will lead you through every detail of your new pair of custom orthotics and answer any questions you may have.
