FAQs
How are custom insoles different from ordinary shoe inserts?
Custom foot orthoses are prescribed around individual support and footwear needs. Their shape and fit are considered together with the clinical assessment, rather than selected only by a standard shoe size.
Can custom insoles fit into any shoe?
Not necessarily. Shoe depth, fastening and space for the foot and insole affect fit. Bring the footwear you intend to use to the fitting discussion rather than assuming one pair will fit every shoe.
Should I start wearing new insoles all day immediately?
Follow the wearing-in instructions supplied with your device. New orthoses may require a gradual introduction, and persistent discomfort should be discussed with the treating professional.
What should a clinic include in an insole enquiry?
Describe the intended footwear, activity requirements and assessment findings. Ask which scan, impression or measurement format is needed for the proposed insole or footwear specification.
