Custom Made Orthotics

If you’re struggling with foot pain, discomfort while walking, or ongoing issues related to foot alignment, custom orthotics may be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Ankle & Foot Specialists of Puget Sound, we design high-quality, medical-grade orthotic devices that provide targeted support, improve foot mechanics, and help you move comfortably again.

What Are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics are specialized shoe inserts crafted to fit the exact shape and needs of your feet. Unlike store-bought insoles, which offer generic support, custom orthotics are:

  • Individually designed based on your foot structure

  • Created using precise molds or digital scans

  • Made from durable, medical-grade materials

  • Intended to correct alignment and enhance foot function

These devices support the heel, arch, and overall biomechanics of your feet, helping each step feel more stable and pain-free.

Why Choose Custom Orthotics Over Store-Bought Inserts?

Over-the-counter insoles may provide temporary relief but cannot correct underlying foot mechanics. Custom orthotics are designed specifically for your feet and conditions, offering:

  • Superior arch and heel support

  • Long-lasting durability

  • Targeted correction of foot alignment

  • Compatibility with everyday shoes, athletic footwear, and work boots

  • Effective relief from chronic foot pain

This level of customization ensures your orthotics address the root cause of your discomfort—not just the symptoms.

Conditions Custom Orthotics Help Treat

Custom orthotics are a proven solution for a wide range of foot and lower-body conditions. They can help relieve or manage:

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Arch and heel pain

  • Bunions

  • Hammertoes

  • Flat feet or high arches

  • Corns and calluses

  • Neuromas

  • Ankle instability

  • Pain related to diabetes or poor circulation

By correcting abnormal foot mechanics, orthotics can also reduce strain on the knees, hips, and lower back.

How Custom Orthotics Work

Many foot problems stem from poor alignment or structural imbalances. Even minor misalignments can lead to significant discomfort over time. Custom orthotics work by:

  • Supporting the arch and redistributing pressure

  • Realigning bones, tendons, and ligaments

  • Improving stability during walking or running

  • Reducing excessive foot motion

  • Preventing inflammation and overuse injuries

Every time your foot strikes the ground, the orthotics guide it into a more natural position—helping you move efficiently and comfortably.

The Custom Orthotic Process

Our specialists follow a precise and personalized process to ensure the perfect fit:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with a detailed physical exam, gait assessment, and review of any symptoms or diagnoses.

2. Casting or Digital Imaging

To capture an accurate model of your foot, we use advanced techniques such as:

  • 3D digital scanning

  • Computer-guided imaging

  • Traditional plaster casting

3. Professional Fabrication

Your mold or scan is sent to a trusted medical lab, where your orthotics are custom-built to match your unique structure and treatment needs.

4. Fitting & Follow-Up

Once your orthotics arrive, we ensure they fit properly and make any necessary adjustments for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

Who Can Benefit From Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics are ideal for:

  • Athletes wanting better performance and injury prevention

  • Individuals with chronic foot, ankle, knee, or hip pain

  • People with flat feet, high arches, or structural abnormalities

  • Workers who stand for long hours

  • Those managing diabetic foot conditions

  • Anyone seeking long-term comfort and improved mobility
