Do You Actually Need Orthotics?

Orthotics are more than inserts — they're medical devices tailored to your body, your gait, and your pain.

1

Heel Pain

Plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendon irritation that hasn’t responded to rest alone.

2

Flat Feet

Overpronation, foot fatigue from standing all day, or lower limb pain caused by poor foot mechanics.

3

Knee & Hip Pain

Pain above the foot caused by poor biomechanics — orthotics can change the forces all the way up the chain.

4

Sports Performance

Athletes who need precision support for running, cycling, or sport-specific demands.

Orthotic Guarantee

We stand by our prescription. If your orthotics aren’t right, it’s on us.

How Orthotics Actually Work

  • Push to help your muscles pull — orthotics alter ground reaction forces
  • Increase neurofeedback to your brain — your feet have more nerve endings than almost anywhere else
  • Deflect pressure from high-loading areas like calluses and corns
  • Take injured tissue and improve loading so your body can repair it stronger

Frequently Asked
Questions.

Are orthotics just arch supports?

+

No. Proper orthotics redistribute load, change movement, and reduce pain — far beyond arch support.

Will I need them long-term?

+

It depends on your condition. We treat to restore function, not to trap you in permanent orthotic use.

Do I need special shoes?

+

Not always. We design your orthotics to work with your actual life — work boots, runners, dress shoes, whatever.

What’s the difference between custom and over-the-counter?

+

Custom orthotics are precision tools. Generic ones are guesswork. We’ll help you decide if custom is worth it for your case.

How long do orthotics last?

+

3D printed shells last 10+ years, carbon fibre 12+ years. Top covers need replacing every 2–5 years.
