A custom-made foot orthotic helps bring the ground up to the foot at predetermined angles so that the foot is supported in its optimal neutral position. By realigning the foot with the body, the rest of the joints and muscles can work more efficiently, thus helping to reduce or eliminate pain. This is especially true if you have had joint replacement surgery (knee or hip). Once the pathology or pain is eliminated, it is important that you maintain alignment so that your surgery continues to be successful. Often limb length is affected and other stresses on joints may occur. Custom-made orthotics are an extremely important part of this follow-up.
Improving the alignment and balance of your feet can reduce pressure from other parts of your body, improving your overall health.
Support the arches in your feet with custom orthotics that provide you more stability while you walk and stand.
Custom orthotics can help treat and prevent future injuries such as your muscles, bones, and injuries to tendons.
There are different styles of orthotics available that are designed to fit a wide variety of shoe gear. Orthotic styles range from athletic shoes to men’s and women’s dress shoes to pediatric and diabetic shoes. Sometimes, depending on the specific orthotic therapy required, a different type of shoe might be recommended by your foot care provider
Store-bought prefabricated orthotics are not customized to your feet and therefore may have little effect on the biomechanics of your feet. The majority of people who need orthotics function far better with custom-made orthotics that are made specifically from casts of their feet and are designed to meet individual needs, activities, and footwear.

Custom-made foot orthotics are shoe inserts manufactured from a cast impression of your feet by your foot care professional and worn inside your shoes (athletic, casual, dress, diabetic, or special activity shoes). Custom orthotics helps your feet function in their optimal neutral position and eliminate the need for your body to compensate for misalignment anywhere in your lower extremity (feet, ankles, knees, hips, and back).
Due to the fact that most people suffer from some form of misalignment, just about anyone will benefit from wearing custom-made orthotics. There are many different styles to meet a variety of needs. Some orthotics are more rigid for increased control in the flexible flat foot, while others are softer and more cushioning for a more rigid high arch foot, and there are many situations that fall in between these two extremes. Your foot care provider will help determine what style is best suited for your individual needs.

Our leather collection is made from the timeless art of wrapping wet leather around the positive cast to obtain and hold the shape. The production process is timely and labor intensive. The leather is cut, wet and strapped over the cast and then allowed to dry for at least 12 hours before forming its shape. With the focus on technology in today’s industry, it is difficult to find a laboratory with experience in the production of leather orthotics. All five of our leather orthotics, leather balancer, leather shaffer, leather laminate, leather poron and leather EVA – are the finest quality products available to your patients requiring a flexible yet sturdy orthotic.

Our standard length is met length on all of our graphite devices.
⦁ Carbon composites provide the strongest support with the least amount of bulk
⦁ The material is strong, stiff and lightweight.
⦁ Carbon composite is the material of choice for applications where lightweight and superior performance are paramount. Our graphite composite shells are thinner and lighter in weight than our other orthotic shells.
