Custom orthotics are a special type of orthotic designed specifically for your foot. This results in an orthotic which is more effective at controlling your foot and reducing pain.

Our expert Podiatrists can add custom features to treat specific issues, shape the orthotic to fit exactly inside your favourite shoes, and cover them in soft, cushioned materials to increase comfort.

We design our custom orthotics to not only reduce pain from current medical conditions, but to also reduce the risk of developing foot and leg pain in the future.

You may have seen orthotics and shoe inserts advertised online or in pharmacies, which are cheaper than the custom option. They may also have been offered by your Podiatrist as a more affordable solution.

Although these may provide some support and symptom relief, there are several reasons why custom orthotics are superior.

Custom orthotics are not only more effective at reducing pain and supporting the foot, they are also much more comfortable than off-the-shelf Orthotics.

Custom Orthotics are designed specifically for your feet, the way you move, and any medical condition you may have. They enable your Podiatrist to correct biomechanical issues on an individual level, resulting in a more predictable response, and longer-term symptoms relief. We use high grade medical materials to optimise results and durability.

The personalised fit to your foot and shoes, plus the addition of custom modifications and high quality covers, ensures the orthotics are comfortable to wear and long-lasting.

Your Orthotic Fitting appointment is usually 2 weeks after your Orthotic order is placed.
