At Maritime Foothold Orthotics we provide custom foot orthoses, every possible shoe modification, custom and ready-made shoes, and footwear advice to the people of Nova Scotia. We also do orthopaedic shoe modifications like rocker soles, shoe lifts, lateral and medial wedges and counterflares and Velcro closures.
Foot orthotics are custom molded in-shoe foot appliances which are manufactured from a three dimensional image of the foot called a cast. They are made of heat moldable materials like EVA or polyethylene foams of different densities. Orthotics can accommodate bony deformities, and modify the movement of the feet and lower limbs.
