Benefits Of Custom Shoe Inserts
Custom shoe inserts provide extra comfort for standing and walking or help you correct foot issues or painful gait problems. Unlike generic insoles, custom orthotics are crafted to address your unique needs, offering long-term benefits such as pain reduction, improved posture, and enhanced overall foot function.
According to the APMA, “podiatrist-prescribed foot orthotics decrease foot pain and improve function.”

We are well-known for our prosthetic and orthotic fabrication and customization techniques. We understand the types of issues leg brace wearers have to deal with, whether your AFO, KAFO, or HKAFO is surgery, developmental, or medical condition-related.

- Shoe Insoles: General inserts that add cushioning and support for everyday comfort.

Off-The-Shelf Vs. Custom Shoe Inserts
It can be tempting to jump online or stop by your local drugstore and grab whatever off-the-shelf shoe inserts they have. Many shoe stores offer made-for-you insoles as well. However, off-the-shelf insoles usually don’t last very long and are not made specifically for you. There is also a big difference between personalized and made-for-you.
When you choose fully custom orthotic shoe inserts made by medical professionals specializing in orthotics and prosthetics, you can be sure you’re getting a product that is made to fit your feet. They will also work for your shoes and/or braces and address your medical concerns.
This customization can make a significant difference, especially for those with complex foot issues or those who wear orthotic devices.
How Long Does It Take To Get Used To Shoe Inserts?
Adjusting to custom orthotic shoe inserts can vary based on individual factors such as the type of insert, foot condition, and overall activity level. Generally, it may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for most people to become fully accustomed to their new inserts.
During the initial period, it’s normal to experience slight discomfort or a different feel as your feet adapt to the new support and alignment. To ease the transition, start by wearing the inserts for short periods and gradually increase the duration.
If discomfort persists beyond a few weeks, consulting with a healthcare professional may be necessary to ensure a proper fit.
