Our flagship product, Sole Supports custom foot orthotics, are medical
grade shoe inserts, fit and prescribed by a variety of orthopedic medical professionals, including orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists,
physical therapists, chiropractors, orthotics and prosthetic specialists and pedorthotists. They are prescribed for a number
of reasons but most commonly for fallen arches (flat feet). This is not necessarily a problem in itself, however, it often
leads to a number of painful foot deformities such as bunions, corns, and plantar fasciitis. The condition of the arch also
affects the posture and mechanical efficiency of the entire lower leg, pelvis and spine. It is estimated that 90-95% of the
human population has some degree of fallen arch.
While shoe inserts (orthotics) of all kinds are fairly common,
Sole Supports are uniquely designed to custom fir the exact shape of the bottom of your foot, including the full, corrected
position of your arch.
Most orthotics, while almost always designed for some degree of cushioning, avoid supporting
the arch area because, when made with inadequate materials or not a good match to your foot shape, they can be to uncomfortable
for regular use. From a mechanical standpoint, it is only possible to control the arch of the foot by direct support. Since
orthotics are only helpful if they are both comfortable to use regularly and actually hold your foot in the corrected position,
many orthotics fail to give satisfactory or lasting results.
We have met the challenge of comfort and control.
Our custom-shaped support shell is designed to flex enough for comfort when needed without sacrificing control of arch and
foot position.
