Foot pain or difficulty finding comfortable footwear can make ordinary activities harder. An assessment helps us understand the problem and whether insoles could form part of your care.
Looking beyond the insole
We discuss your symptoms, medical history and activities, examine your feet and movement, and consider the shoes you wear. Bring any existing insoles and the footwear you use for work, leisure or sport.
A design with a clear purpose
Insoles may be prescribed to provide support, cushioning or accommodation. Their shape, stiffness, cover and length need to work together and fit within your shoes. We explain the recommendation and discuss alternatives when an insole is unlikely to meet your needs.
Manufacture and fitting
When custom insoles are recommended, measurements, impressions or scans may be used to define the prescription. Materials are selected around the required support and available shoe space. At fitting, we check the insoles in your footwear and explain how to build up use.
Care after fitting
Tell us if you experience discomfort or difficulty using the insoles. We can review their fit and function and advise whether an adjustment or a different approach is needed.
