Symptoms & Conditions

How do you know if you could benefit from custom insoles?

Here are some of the common symptoms and conditions they may help treat.

Supination

This is when your feet turn inward, often as the result of collapsed or flat arches. This misalignment causes weight to be carried on the inside of the foot. When this happens, the pelvis tilts forward, causing the lower back to curve and result in pain and stiffness.

High Arch

Supination and resulting knee, back and hip pain can be avoided with custom arch support for shoes. Additionally, it's important to support the outer foot so that weight is re-distributed evenly throughout the foot.

Pronation

This is when your feet turn outward, often due to high arches. This misalignment causes weight to be carried on the outside of the foot, resulting in pain being felt in the knees, hips, or back.

Heel Pain

Painful heel ailments such as Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinitis, and Bruised Heel may be treated with custom shoe inserts for heel pain that properly support and align the feet.

Flat Foot

Even if you aren't yet suffering from pronation, fallen arches can cause generalized foot pain, especially during long walks and runs. Proper support from custom orthotics can fix alignment and prevent overpronation that affects other parts of your body.

Ankle, Knee, Hip or Back Pain

If you're experiencing pain that doesn't have another cause, the problem may be in your feet. If you can't get to a podiatrist, DIY custom insoles are a safe, easy and affordable way to see if your pain is alleviated when your feet are properly supported.
