The traditional method to be fit for custom made orthotics is to have a plaster made of your feet or to use a static foam mold. Both of these methods are non-weight bearing measurements so they only measure your foot in a netural position. Also, significant experience is required to use either method effectively or inaccuracies will occur.

Our process uses the latest computer technology combining a laptop computer, a dynamic foot measuring pad and state-of-the-art software to provide you with the best fitting orthotics possible.

Our system measures your feet for:

2D static foot measurements for balance and stance

3D dynamic foot imaging from contact, through midstance, to propulsion phases

This 3-D pressure mapping indicates high and low pressure points to evaluate your gait for both walking and running.

As you know, foot pain doesn't occur when your feet are not bearing your body weight; it occurs when you are standing, walking, or running. Therefore it makes more sense for orthotics to be made from a dynamic, weight bearing assessment.

Our system offers a consistent and repeatable assessment that takes only moments and is based on actual measurements of your feet. We show you the results on a computer screen after the measurement is taken so that you can see what is being recorded about your feet.

Because our system is so accurate and because it measures both static and dynamic foot function, the orthotics produced are custom made for you, and can be worn in everyday shoes.
