Orthotics
Many problems to do with foot function can be helped by using orthotic devices, These are specialist foot supports that may be used to improve or correct foot function problems. Orthotics are prescribed for many common foot complaints, including plantar fasciitis, aching feet, bunions, excessive pronation and osteoarthritis. Orthotics are also prescribed to prevent problems in the future.
At Footwise a range of orthoses is available to suit all ages, budgets,activities, foot types, and requirements. The common factor for all insoles supplied is that they are tailored to your specific problems and needs
Custom-made Orthotics
Custom-made orthotics are made on-site using an advanced CAD-CAM scanner and mill using computer aided technology. Your foot will first be scanned and a digital image produced on a computer. Your insole is then designed around that image, using computer aided design (CAD) technology. The insole design with all its inbuilt specifications is the sent electronically to a computer aided manufacturing (CAM) facility, where it is precisely milled, again by a computer.
And because we use the latest in-house CAD-CAM technology, we do not have to rely on outside providers, so our orthotic prices are extremely competitive.
Our Prescriptive Orthotics cost £190.00 (following assessment; includes fitting and follow-up appointment)
Off the shelf insoles cost £60.00 (following assessment)
Insoles should be easily transferable between many types of shoe. But, if you prefer the convenience of leaving the insoles in your shoes, you can buy a second or third pair at a discount:- second pair - £135.00, third pair- £100.00
