Custom Foot Orthotics
Custom Foot Orthotics FAQs
How much do custom foot orthotics cost?
The cost of our custom foot orthotics, custom insoles and orthopaedic insoles varies depending on the design, materials, manufacturing method and your individual requirements. Typical price for a pair from us is $610 which includes an assessment and fitting. At Ability Prosthetics and Orthotics, our experienced Orthotists assess your needs before recommending the most appropriate solution.
How long do custom foot orthotics last?
The lifespan of custom foot orthotics and orthotic insoles varies depending on the materials used, activity levels, footwear and how frequently they are worn. At Ability Prosthetics and Orthotics, our Orthotists use advanced Einscan Medixa 3D scanning and in-house 3D printing technology to create personalised foot orthoses designed around your individual requirements.
Your orthotics should be reviewed if they become worn, damaged, uncomfortable or no longer provide the support you need.
How often should foot orthotics or insoles be replaced?
There is no fixed replacement schedule for every person. Custom foot orthotics, custom insoles and orthopaedic insoles may need to be replaced when they become worn or damaged, their fit changes, or they no longer provide the required support.
Regular reviews with an experienced Orthotist can help determine whether your foot orthoses require adjustment, repair or replacement.
Can custom foot orthotics help with foot pain?
Custom foot orthotics may help manage certain types of foot and lower-limb pain by providing support and influencing the distribution of forces through the foot.
They may form part of a broader treatment approach for conditions and concerns such as plantar heel pain, plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, arch-related problems and biomechanical issues. Our Orthotists assess each person individually to determine whether custom orthotics or orthopaedic insoles may be appropriate.
Can custom foot orthotics and insoles be worn in different types of shoes?
Yes. Custom foot orthotics and insoles can be designed for different types of footwear, although the available space and construction of the shoe can affect the design.
Runners, walking shoes and work footwear generally provide more room for orthotic insoles. Depending on your requirements, our Orthotists can discuss suitable footwear options and designs to help your custom orthotics fit comfortably.
What are orthopaedic insoles?
Orthopaedic insoles are specially designed insoles that provide personalised support, cushioning or control based on an individual’s foot and lower-limb requirements.
Unlike generic shoe insoles, custom orthopaedic insoles are designed following an individual assessment and can be tailored to your foot shape, function, footwear, activities and goals.
At Ability Prosthetics and Orthotics, our experienced Orthotists can assess whether custom foot orthotics, orthotic insoles or orthopaedic insoles are appropriate for your needs.
How are custom foot orthotics made?
At Ability Prosthetics and Orthotics, our custom foot orthotics can be designed using the state-of-the-art Einscan Medixa 3D scanner. The scanner captures a detailed digital representation of the foot, which our Orthotists use to assist with creating a personalised orthotic design.
We also have 3D printing technology in-house, allowing us to manufacture custom foot orthoses locally. Combining advanced 3D scanning and 3D printing with experienced clinical assessment allows us to provide highly personalised orthotic solutions.
