Custom Orthotics & Orthopedic Shoes
CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
Custom orthotics—sometimes called foot arches, insoles, or orthopedic inserts—are specially designed devices that support, align, and improve the function of your feet, helping to enhance overall body mechanics and relieve pain. Whether you experience flat feet, high arches, or other foot-related issues, our custom orthotics in St. Albert provide targeted support to improve comfort, mobility, and posture. They help correct imbalances, reduce stress on joints, and prevent common conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and lower back pain.
The process begins with a comprehensive foot assessment by our Certified Orthopedic Footwear Specialist. We take detailed measurements, observe your walking patterns, and create a precise foot mold to capture the exact shape of your feet. By combining this hands-on approach with a thorough analysis of your foot mechanics, we design custom orthotics St. Albert clients can rely on for proper fit, long-term support, and improved overall movement tailored to your lifestyle and needs.
Addressing foot issues early can make a significant difference not just in how your feet feel, but in your knees, hips, back, and even shoulders. A personalized foot assessment is the first step toward better alignment, greater comfort, and a healthier, more active life.
CUSTOM MADE SHOES
Custom orthopedic shoes provide unparalleled comfort, support, and alignment. Meticulously crafted to the unique shape of your feet, they help alleviate pain, improve posture, and enhance overall mobility. Whether you're dealing with chronic foot pain, need extra support for daily activities, or require accommodations for specific conditions, our custom shoes offer a personalized solution built around your needs.
The process begins with a one-on-one consultation with our Certified Orthopedic Footwear Specialist. Through a detailed foot assessment—including precise measurements, walking analysis, and a custom foot mold—we create shoes tailored to your exact requirements. Every pair is carefully built using high-quality materials, with options to personalize style, closure, and color.
Custom-made orthopedic shoes are ideal for individuals who cannot comfortably wear off-the-shelf footwear due to structural abnormalities or medical conditions. They are often recommended for conditions such as flat feet, high arches, bunions, plantar fasciitis, diabetic foot concerns, arthritis, heel spurs, and more. Properly fitted footwear can dramatically reduce joint strain, prevent complications, and promote a healthier, more active lifestyle.
