Foot orthotics are custom devices (insert/insoles) designed to be worn inside sneakers/shoes to help distribute weight evenly from heel to toe, improve balance, alignment, reduce fatigue, and improve shock absorption. Our FootTek comfort orthotics are specifically customized for your individual feet, for you and only you, similar to a pair of eyeglasses.

The longevity of your orthotics depends on a number of factors such as usage, work surface, training surface, weight-bearing hours, type of activities, body weight, and shoe type. It is difficult to estimate exactly how long they will last because everyone's situation is different. Orthotics will eventually break down after prolonged use. We equate it to a tire on a vehicle, the more miles you drive the more wear on your tires.

Everyone. Think Prevention. You do not have to be in pain to benefit from proper foot support! Age, weight, and activity all play a part in the challenges your feet face every day. Being proactive and providing the proper support for your feet can help lessen the impact of future problems such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and much more.

Off-the-shelf inserts are typically made of materials such as very flexible plastics, gel, or rubber that lose their support once you stand on them. The arch is structured to fit the masses and does not offer custom support. Sizes are fitted by shoe size, not your arch size. They are a low-cost temporary fix to a somewhat larger problem.
The solution: FootTek Custom Orthotics are specifically crafted for your individual feet, customized with the appropriate materials and modifications to help relieve your pain and get you moving again.
