What is a Fastech custom orthotic?

A Fastech custom orthotic is molded directly to your foot, then placed inside of your shoe. The orthotic positions your foot into the proper bio-mechanical alignment to make sure your body is functioning at it’s best! The proper foot and arch support will help relieve pain in your feet, heels, knees and throughout your body.

 

Who needs custom foot orthotics?
Everyone can benefit from proper foot support! If you suffer from foot, shin, knee, hip or back pain you will definitely feel the benefits of a Fastech orthotic. We work with specialty retailers, chiropractors, athletic trainers, podiatrists, and a host of professionals who provide prescription orthotics and shoe insoles for their patients.
 

 

Do I have to have a problem to benefit from foot orthotics?
Nope! Anyone can benefit from the support and cushion that our orthotics and insoles provide. We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to put their best foot forward.

 

 

How can Fastech orthotics help me?
Fastech orthotics support your foot and ankle during weight-bearing movements like walking, running, skiing, or anything else you may be up to! These custom orthotics and insoles help align your foot and body providing stability and comfort to every step. A properly aligned foot allows for more even weight distribution, significantly reducing your pain and discomfort and helping to prevent injuries like shin splints.
 

What is special about Fastech orthotics and insoles?
Our orthotics and insoles are made from the best materials available. They are made with your actual foot, no scans or plaster molds, so you know when you purchase a Fastech orthotic what you’re getting is 100% you. Fastech products were first developed to custom fit ski boots. The use of these products quickly spread to other athletic needs because of their superior characteristics in reducing foot pain, heel pain, lower back pain as well as shin splints and other athletic related discomfort and injuries. Fastech insoles and orthotics are in use today in every major professional sport and in over fifty top college athletic programs. Fastech is also the only company to offer SmartCells!
 

Do Fastech orthotics and insoles require special shoes?
The truth is the better the shoe, the better the orthotic works. The orthotic or insole supports the foot and the shoe supports the orthotic or insole. A Fastech orthotic or insole can be made to fit easily in most shoes, but shoes with removable insoles or inserts 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. We do offer thinner versions of our product that are designed to fit in a dress shoe. If you are unsure of which of your shoes feel free to bring several options to your appointment.
