What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are prescription medical devices designed to support, align, and improve the function of your feet. Unlike typical over-the-counter insoles you find at retail stores, custom orthotics are precisely molded to match the unique contours of your feet. Our podiatrists and pedorthists create them specifically to address your individual biomechanical needs, foot structure, and medical conditions.
Benefits of Custom Orthotics

Types of Custom Orthotics
Orthotics come in many different shapes, sizes, and materials, each designed to meet specific needs. The purpose of a custom orthotic is to precisely address your individual requirements.
Rigid (Functional) Orthotics
Made from harder materials such as plastic or carbon fiber, rigid orthotics are designed to control motion and ease foot aches, pains, and strains. They’re especially effective for addressing biomechanical issues and providing firm support during high-impact activities.
Soft (Accommodating) Orthotics
Crafted from soft compression materials, these orthotics take pressure off uncomfortable areas of your feet, such as sores or ulcers. Soft orthotics provide cushioning and are often recommended for people with diabetes, arthritis, or sensitive feet that need gentle support.
The Custom Orthotics Process
The process of getting custom orthotics begins with a comprehensive examination by one of our podiatrists or our certified pedorthist. We’ll assess your foot structure, gait, and any specific concerns you have. Using advanced diagnostic tools—including our mobile CT truck for state-of-the-art 3D standing CT imaging—we create a precise mold of your feet.
Once we’ve captured your unique foot anatomy, your custom orthotics are fabricated to fit your shoes perfectly. When you receive your orthotics, we’ll ensure they feel comfortable and make any necessary adjustments right away. If you feel like your orthotic doesn’t fit properly, let us know immediately so we can modify it to maximize your comfort.
We recommend maintaining regular communication with your footcare team and visiting at our requested schedule to ensure your orthotic is working as intended. These follow-up appointments allow us to track your progress and address any concerns promptly.
