What Type of Orthotics Do I Need?
We are here to help! With all of these choices, it is easy to get confused, but we are here to help!
Dress Orthotics
Dress orthotics are designed for high heels or very slender shoes. They do not offer as much support as traditional orthotics but they can fit into a very wide variety of footwear.
Casual Dress Orthotics
Casual dress orthotics offer more support than dress orthotics, and are designed for loafers, boots, ballet flats etc.
Sports Orthotics
Sports orthotics offer the best of both worlds, great support and fantastic cushioning. They are a good fit for athletic footwear, hiking boots, safety boots etc.
Casual Full Length Orthotics
Casual full orthotics are designed for casual and dressier footwear with removable insoles. They are typically a more slender cut to accommodate these styles of shoes, but still offer good support and good cushioning.
Diabetic Orthotics
Accommodative orthotics are designed for patients with particularly sensitive feet due to diabetes, ulcers and pressure sores.
Specialized Adult Orthotics
Orthotics for people with rheumatoid, psoriatic or osteoarthritis are designed with specific cushioning.
Kids Orthotics
Designed to help little feet grow stronger, straighter and healthier. They come in fun colours and can greatly help the foot grow well when worn frequently. Parents often purchase them for arch pain and achilles tendonitis.
Specialized Kids Orthotics
Specially designed kids custom foot orthotics are for kids who have pigeon or duck-footed feet and need help pointing and growing in the right direction. Patients who frequently trip or fall also may benefit from specialized orthotics.
