The important fact is the better the shoe, the better the orthotic works. The orthotic insole supports the foot and the shoe supports the foot and orthotic. The Fastech foot orthotic can be made to fit easily in most shoes. Shoes with removable insoles that have good support work best. The best example of this type of shoe is a comfort shoe designed for walking. This shoe has a round toe box, laces and a firm heel area. A thinner Fastech shoe insole can also be designed to fit dress shoes.

Clinical Procedure

• You will need to bring in the shoes you plan to use. Our suggestion is a pair of shoes you “like” to wear and a pair of shoes you may “have” to wear. We will evaluate these shoes and make suggestions.
• You will be evaluated (Rx) to determine what type of foot orthotic or insole will benefit you most.
• The FASTECH custom orthotic will be fitted to you by a process called “direct-mold”.
• No multiple trips, you will leave with your custom foot orthotics and pay much less than you would expect.
