What Makes an Orthotic Truly Custom?

A genuine custom orthotic goes beyond just matching your foot shape. It involves:
- Precise foot positioning for optimal function
- Calibration for your specific needs
- Materials selected for your unique situation
- Professional assessment of multiple factors

Personalized Calibration Factors

Your custom orthotic is calibrated based on:

Body Weight
- Lighter individuals need less firmness
- Heavier individuals require more support
- Material density matched to weight

Foot Type
- Rigid feet need more flexibility
- Flexible feet require more support
- Materials adjusted for foot mobility

This comprehensive approach ensures your orthotic isn't just shaped to your foot - it's engineered specifically for your body and lifestyle needs.
