They fit inside your shoes and are tailored to your unique needs, making them ideal for those with persistent foot pain or issues from injuries, poor foot alignment, or long hours of standing.

Custom foot orthotics are like shoe inserts or heel inserts. These custom insoles fit in the shoe of your choice to help with stabilizing of your joints, muscles and to correct gait when needed. They impact the biomechanics of walking by enhancing it to reduce the strain on tendons and ligaments.
Each kind of orthotics works best for a certain type of foot.
Researchers have tried to explain feet by categorizing them into 3 subgroups.
Planus feet refers to low arch (varus hindfoot and valgus forefoot).
Rectus (well aligned arches with proper alignment in hindfoot and forefoot).
Cavus (high arch with varus hindfoot and valgus forefoot.
Those with planus feet tend to overpronate and are associated with stiffness of their big toe and are at a higher risk for development of overuse injuries. Those with cavus feet are more likely to develop hammertoes and claw toe deformities.
The longevity of your custom orthotics depends on how much you use them. If you use them regularly, as recommended, they last for approximately 2- 5 years.
Here are the best practices for caring for your orthotics:
Custom orthotics are best placed through your healthcare provider such as chiropractors or physiotherapists as they can assess your feet health and recommend the best product to suit your specific needs.
Kinetic orthotics is a term that refers to custom-made shoe inserts or insoles that are designed to improve foot function and relieve pain by addressing issues related to the way an individual walks or runs.
These orthotics are typically made using advanced technology that allows them to move dynamically with the foot, providing support and cushioning where needed.
Kinetic orthotics may be prescribed by a podiatrist or other healthcare professional to treat a variety of foot and lower limb conditions, including plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and overpronation. They may also be used by athletes to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury.
Custom orthotics cost $455 for one pair.

Ask your chiropractor or physiotherapist if they think you need one based on your movement mechanics and the wear and tear of your older shoes.
Yes, you may wear your orthotics in different shoes, as long as they are the same type of shoe. For example, you would not want to transfer them from a running shoe to a dress shoe.
Every insurance policy is different. Please reach out to your insurance provider to find out if they offer coverage for custom orthotics, or if they have any specific requirements in order to receive coverage for custom orthotics. We provide you with all of the paperwork required for billing to insurance, including a receipt, proof of manufacturing, and the method of acquiring your orthotics.
