WHAT IS A FOOT ORTHOTIC?

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.
