What is the process of receiving custom made insoles for sports?

To ensure your custom insoles provide you with the optimal support our experienced orthotists will complete an assessment which will include observing you carrying out movements similar to those you complete when taking part in your sport. Your orthotist will consider the issues you may be having and what your sporting goals are. This information will help them to select appropriate materials for your insoles. To ensure your insoles reflect the shape and contours of your feet your orthotist will take an impression, cast or scan which will then be used to create your bespoke insoles. If you take part in multiple sports which require different levels of support your orthotist will be able to make multiple insoles from the single assessment.

We encourage you to bring the footwear you typically wear for your sport, as this helps us ensure your insoles are perfectly suited to your needs. Additionally, bringing any old or well-worn shoes can provide valuable insight into your foot mechanics and wear patterns, allowing us to create the most effective orthotic solution for you.
