What Are Orthotics?

Orthotics are medical shoe inserts designed to correct foot alignment and abnormal walking patterns. They provide correction and assistance to your feet to relieve and prevent pain in your feet, legs, knees, hips or back.

Custom made Orthotics have now been revolutionised at Absolute Footcare. Using state of the art 3D laser technology we capture the shape and structure of your individual feet in seconds.

The latest computer software is combined with the prescription from your Podiatrist to modify your unique scan and an orthotic is created to fit your foot perfectly.

Computer Orthotics offer almost limitless design and style options. From polypropylene to EVA, from thin and flexible to extra support we can do it all. Even shoe specific orthotics are available eg. football boots, ski boots, running shoes, work boots and school shoes.

Pre-made Orthotics are available in different strengths and softnesses and are also available in ¾ length and full length versions.

Your Sole Responsibility

Even though orthotics realign you back to your natural walking pattern it may be necessary to allow your body some time to get used to wearing them.

• Wear them gradually at first, increasing your time each day.
• Find a suitable, supportive & comfortable pair of shoes and we can make your orthotics to fit.

Will They Need Adjusting?

Digital Orthotics are now so precise that adjustments are usually not required. Occassionally a minor adjustment may be needed if the Orthotic becomes uncomfortable during the wearing in period. Due to the large variation in shoe shapes the orthotics can easily be trimmed to provide optimal fit.

All adjustments are done immediately or as an overnight service and incur NO CHARGE for the life of the orthotic.

Will They Fit My Shoes?

Digital orthotics can be made to fit any size shoe and they are much thinner and lighter than regular orthotics. With this in mind an orthotic will always function better in a more supportive shoe so we still advise you to wear good fitting, comfortable shoes as much as possible, particularly when exercising or during periods of long walking or standing.

Due to the millions of different types of shoes available our friendly staff can advise you of the best styles to suit your individual feet and activities.
