Custom-made foot Orthotics are devices manufactured from a foot impression either utilising traditional plaster of Paris casts or different scanning techniques. Devices are traditionally manufactured using more rigid materials such as Polypropylene or various densities of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) which provide pressure relief as well as more mechanical correction. Slimflex Green Arch-Support Insoles are a pair of moulded EVA insoles manufactured with deep heel cup which helps to stabilise the heel and better position the foot inside the shoe. The Slimflex Insoles also have increased support around the arch area, promoting a more natural walking motion if you suffer with weak or collapsing arches. What's Included? Slimflex Insoles are heat moulded to your shoe/foot. This means they use the body temperature to ensure a good fit rather than having to be fitted by a specialist. Slimflex Insoles are all made of a high quality material that means they are highly durable and can withstand day-to-day use without wearing through. This makes them an extremely cost efficient option compared to custom-fitted insoles, especially as they are ready for immediate wear.

Diabetes or Arthritis Orthotic Insoles provide moderate support and foot cradling to help prevent pronation and supination while providing comfort and offloading.

Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size. Measuring Your Current Insoles Biomechanical Analysis: This may involve using technologies like gait analysis systems to study how the patient walks or runs. This helps identify any abnormal foot motions that could be causing pain or discomfort. Impressions or Scans: In some cases, podiatrists may take molds of the patient's feet or use 3D scanning technology to create precise foot impressions.

Patient Evaluation: Podiatrists start by evaluating the patient's medical history, including any existing foot conditions or injuries. While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.
