01 / A DIFFERENT WAY TO MAKE THEM
Where an orthotic pushes, how firmly it pushes and how much it gives under your weight all matter to the prescription.
Paris orthotics use a 3D-printed cellular structure that lets us prescribe pliability alongside support. We can build softness into the device where we want it, with support where we need it.
Your footwear is part of that decision. Bring the shoes you walk, work or train in, so we can assess the combination you’ll actually be wearing.
02 / FIND YOUR FIT
Your shoes, preferences and the job the orthotics need to do help us choose together.
Prescribed support.
Room to give.
Its printed cellular structure combines support with pliability, with the shape designed around your feet, footwear and goals.
A slimmer fit.
Finished by hand.
A slimmer device for tighter shoes, including dress shoes and footy boots. Also an option if you’ve been happy with Melbourne orthotics before.
Melbourne takes longer because of its additional hand-finishing steps. Each subsequent pair still needs that work, which is why its discount is smaller.
Fabrication starts after prescription and scanning. Both devices require a fitting review, subject to appointment availability. Clinical fees are separate. Both have our 12-month device-fee refund promise.
For years, we made orthotics by heating and moulding hard plastic. Adding foam softened the feel, but took up shoe space and could wear out before the shell underneath.
When we began 3D printing, we were still printing plastic and adding soft layers by hand.
A former student from the university where Tim taught had an idea: use the printer to build a cellular structure with foam materials.
We could build pliability and support into the structure itself.
Fewer hand-finishing steps mean less fabrication time and a lower device cost. Paris costs $349 per pair and is typically made in 2-3 days after prescription and scanning.
The clinical work still matters at every stage.
03 / THE CARE AROUND THE DEVICE
A scan captures the shape of your feet. Your assessment tells us what we want the orthotic to do.
We look at your symptoms, how you move, the shoes you wear, your current activity and what you’re trying to get back to. We also assess the strength and movement relevant to your problem.
An orthotic may help change the load on a sore area. Exercise helps build the capacity to handle activity. Changes to footwear, training or other treatment may also have a place in your plan.
We’ll explain the recommendation and what we’re looking for as you progress. If orthotics aren’t appropriate, we’ll explain what makes sense instead.
Your 60-minute initial assessment starts with a conversation: what are you asking of your feet, and where could they use a helping hand? Bring the shoes you wear for work, exercise and everyday life, plus any orthotics you use or have tried before.
We’ll assess your gait and test your strength and movement in our clinic room and clinical gym. Then we’ll agree on your next steps together.
If orthotics make sense for you, we may prescribe them and scan your feet at your first visit. Sometimes changing your shoes or starting exercise-based rehab comes first. We might recommend an MRI or another scan to understand what else needs attention.
You and your podiatrist may decide later that orthotics have a role to play. We’ll work that out together as your treatment progresses.
After prescription and scanning: Paris 2-3 days; Melbourne two weeks.
At your fitting review, we fit the devices in your shoes and repeat a gait assessment to check the changes we intended. We also review your symptoms, progress your exercises and check the rest of your care.
04 / FIRST PAIR. NEXT PAIR.
Keep another in your work shoes. If extra pairs suit your plan, Paris subsequent pairs are half price. Melbourne subsequent pairs are $100 less.

|---|---|---|
| First pair | $349 | $835 |

| Two pairs in total | $523.50 | $1,570 |
| Three pairs in total | $698 | $2,305 |
Paris’s simpler printing process lets us offer subsequent pairs at half price. Every Melbourne pair still needs additional hand finishing. Assessment, fitting reviews and other clinical care are charged separately.
Your first visit is a 60-minute assessment. Reviews are 30 minutes, including your fitting review.
| Appointment | Senior | Consultant |
|---|---|---|
| Initial assessment | $205 | $230 |
| Review | $160 | $185 |

These aren’t fixed treatment packages. Further appointments, additional fittings when needed, or other treatment are charged separately according to what is recommended and agreed with you.
The fees shown when you book apply to your appointment.
05 / OUR PROMISE
If you’re unhappy with your Paris or Melbourne orthotics within 12 months of receiving them, we’ll refund the full device fee. No questions asked. Just get in touch with the clinic.
The guarantee covers your orthotic device fee. Consultation, fitting and other clinical treatment fees are not refundable under this guarantee. It is a money-back promise on the device, not a guarantee of a treatment outcome.
We prescribe orthotics regularly. You may be trying them for the first time. We don’t expect you to arrive with the same confidence we have.

06 / BEFORE YOU BOOK
No. You’re booking an assessment. We’ll explain whether orthotics are appropriate and decide on the next step with you.
Bring the footwear you need them to work in. Shoe space affects what we can prescribe, and we assess that with you. Melbourne’s slimmer construction can be useful for tighter dress shoes and footy boots. We check the fit when you return for your fitting review.
You’ll need a fitting and review appointment to receive them. That gives us time to fit them in your shoes, reassess your movement and progress your care. We’ll arrange the appointment around when your devices will be ready and available appointment times.
Let us know. We can review the device, footwear and how you’re responding, then discuss what needs to change. If you’re unhappy and would prefer a device-fee refund within 12 months, our no-questions-asked guarantee applies.
Bring them to your assessment so we can understand what you’ve tried. If you bought custom orthotics in the last 12 months and they haven’t helped as you’d hoped, our separate Orthotic Rescue offer may be relevant. Eligibility and paid consultation requirements apply.
