We offer custom-made orthotics.
These orthotics are made by the company named sole supports. I’ve taken the training and have passed the required tests to be a provider of these orthotics. First let me say that these are awesome. I’ve had many different orthotics made for myself at twice the cost and they don’t compare to the improvement I’ve felt from these specific orthotics.
Here’s the reasoning why:
Sole supports allow the natural motion of the foot to occur rather than trying to hold up your arch. Some people have flat feet and some don’t. Yet everyone’s foot is supposed to pronate when you step and push off with 60% of your weight on the big toe. Most off-the-shelf arch supports don’t allow you to do this.
Each side must be made separately and should not be mirror images of each other. Many patients I’ve noticed have the arch dropped only on one side, or their bunion is worse on one side, etc. You wouldn’t want to give them the same support on the left and on the right. This is the true value of “custom.”
The orthotics are calibrated to your weight and activity level. This is something I never understood when I had other orthotics made. How am I supposed to run in the same orthotic that was made for my dress shoe? It didn’t make sense. Sole supports are made specifically for your activity level.
Lastly, the orthotics should be calibrated to the flexibility of your feet. How strong your ligaments are in your feet determine the strength of the arch.
What all of this amounts to is that these orthotics can change how your feet FUNCTION because they work with what your current structural problems are. I personally love them and recommend them to you.
The price of the orthotics are $300. Figure out what the price of surgery is in your time, pain and money and you’ll find that these orthotics are a bargain.
