Why choose custom-made orthotics?
Custom-made orthotics are designed specifically to improve foot function and lower leg mechanics.
Benefits of custom-made orthotics
Custom-made orthotics can offer your feet the following benefits:
Last longer
Whilst they are more expensive, custom-made orthotics can last you up to 10 years (depending on the material) giving you better value for money. Most soft pre-fabricated devices will last only a few years before bottoming out.
More corrective
Up to 15 degrees of foot correction can be gained with custom-made orthotics. Most pre-fabricated will give only 4 degrees. Better for flat feet and better for providing OPTIMUM FOOT FUNCTION.
More supportive
Custom-made orthotics are stronger and designed to support your body weight. When running up to 4 times your bodyweight can be placed on your feet! A lot of cheap pre-fabricated arch supports are soft and will simply collapse under the force leaving you with little support.
Professionally prescribed
Custom-made orthotics are prescribed by TRAINED health professionals, following thorough assessment of your problems and biomechanics.
Custom-made
Custom-made orthotics are made to YOUR feet and not someone else’s. They follow a prescription which is tailored to YOUR needs.
