What types of Orthotics do we provide?
Sports Orthotics
Sports orthotics are designed specifically for running, walking, or other sports. Sports orthotics are more durable with a softer, full-length top cover to provide additional comfort and cushioning and prevent blisters from occurring. These custom orthotics are suitable for shoes with a full-length removable inner sole, such as running shoes and football boots.
Slimthotics
These orthotics fit in narrow shoes that are usually lower profile. They provide the same level of correction but are worn in a wide variety of shoes. They are highly customisable and enable you to get a broader range of widths and colours to suit your shoe style.
Cycling Orthotics
Custom-designed orthotics that fit into cycling shoes whilst ensuring you maintain comfort and efficient power transfer through your pedals. These orthotics are cleverly designed from carbon fibre to provide a lightweight and durable orthotic that fixes your cycling foot pain.
