CUSTOM LIFESTYLE ORTHOTICS
This 3-D printed custom “Lifestyle Orthotic” provides support for those all walking shoes and even those difficult-to-fit shoes. For those with active lifestyles, we have your custom orthotic available to you for those nagging agonies of ‘dafeet’! From plantar fasciitis to Morton’s neuromas and more, the customized lifestyle line is designed for versatility and fit for a wide array of footwear. Whether it is fitness/exercise, walking, comfort shoes, women’s flats, or men’s boat shoes,
WHY THE Fore2Feet Custom Lifestyle/Therapeutic versus Off the Shelf Products?
- Precision Fit: Made from 3D scans, gait analysis, or molds of your feet.
- Targeted Correction: Addresses specific biomechanical issues not solved by generic insoles.
- Durability & Quality: Higher quality materials, longer-lasting than mass-produced options.
- Integration with Treatment: Often part of a comprehensive plan by podiatrists or physical therapists.
Key Goals for Custom Foot Orthotics
|
Goal
|
Description
|
|---|---|
|
Biomechanical Correction
|
Aligns the feet and lower limbs to correct overpronation, supination, and postural imbalances.
|
|
Pressure Redistribution
|
Evenly spreads weight across the foot to reduce pressure points, prevent sores, and increase comfort.
|
|
Shock Absorption
|
Cushions the impact of walking, running, or jumping to protect joints and soft tissues.
|
|
Support and Stability
|
Enhances foot and ankle stability during motion, reducing risk of falls or ankle sprains.
|
|
Pain Relief
|
Alleviates discomfort from conditions like plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, heel spurs, and more.
|
|
Injury Prevention
|
Prevents overuse injuries by improving gait mechanics and reducing repetitive stress.
|
|
Fatigue Reduction
|
Minimizes muscle overwork and energy loss, especially in people who stand, walk, or train frequently.
|
|
Customized Fit
|
Tailored to the individual’s foot shape, gait pattern, and lifestyle or sport-specific needs.
|
|
Functional Efficiency
|
Optimizes foot function to improve walking and athletic performance.
|
|
Postural Support
|
Enhances alignment of the entire kinetic chain — from feet to spine — improving overall posture.
|
Advantages of Custom Orthotics
|
Condition / Use Case
|
Benefits of Orthotics
|
|---|---|
|
Flat Feet (Pes Planus)
|
• Arch support reduces overpronation
• Improves foot/leg alignment • Pain relief (e.g., plantar fasciitis) • Corrects gait abnormalities |
|
High Arches (Pes Cavus)
|
• Shock absorption for heel and forefoot
• Redistributes pressure evenly • Enhances lateral stability • Manages pain (e.g., metatarsalgia, stress fractures) |
|
Injury Prevention (Athletic & General)
|
• Biomechanical correction
• Offloads stress on joints & soft tissues • Reduces fatigue • Aids recovery & prevents re-injury • Customizable per sport or activity |

Foot
|
1.Plantar Fasciitis
2.Flat Feet (Pes Planus) 3.High Arches (Pes Cavus) 4.Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD) 5.Achilles Tendonitis 6.Metatarsalgia 7.Morton’s Neuroma 8.Heel Spurs 9.Bunions (Hallux Valgus) 10.Hammer Toes |
1.Supports arch, reduces heel strain
2.Restores arch, corrects overpronation 3.Cushions, redistributes pressure 4.Supports arch, offloads tendon 5.Reduces heel lift and tendon strain 6.Offloads forefoot pressure 7.Reduces forefoot compression 8.Cushions heel, relieves pressure 9.Corrects pronation, relieves joint stress 10.Improves toe alignment, reduces pressure |
|
Lower Leg
|
Shin Splints (MTSS)
|
Improves shock absorption, corrects pronation
|
|
Knee
|
1.Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
2.Aligns lower limb, improves patella tracking |
1.Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS)
2.Reduces rotational stress on IT band |
|
Hip
|
Hip Pain / Bursitis
|
Improves gait, pelvic alignment
|
|
Spine
|
Low Back Pain
|
Enhances posture via foot/lower limb alignment
|
|
Posture
|
Leg Length Discrepancy
|
Adds heel lift, balances pelvis
|
|
Sports
|
1.Stress Fractures
2.Distributes pressure, reduces focal overload 3.Tendinopathies (e.g., peroneal) |
1.Reduces tendon strain via improved mechanics
2.Ankle Instability / Sprains 3.Enhances balance, lateral support |
|
Systemic
|
1.Diabetic Ulcers / Neuropathy
2.Offloads pressure, protects insensate areas |
1.Arthritis (OA/RA)
2.Cushions joints, reduces load |
|
Neurological
|
Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
|
Improves gait, reduces contracture risk
