General
The Surefoot orthotic is as unique as your own foot. Since we measure every nuance of the undersurface of your individual foot, our orthotics fit and support your base like no other insole can.
We have several materials to choose from. Our EVA orthotics are individually machined out of specially tailored densities of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA).
This is a non-plastic material commonly used in the mid-soles of athletic shoes. It is comfortable and very resistant to breakdown. We top off this
foundation with a variety of topping materials. Each finished insole is hand sanded to fit into the desired shoe. Our rigid devices include 3D-printed nylon and carbon orthotics, both of which provide incredible durability.
Any shoe with a removable insole will work just fine. Please remove the original insole and replace it with the finished Surefoot orthotic. Some shoes without removable insoles will work as well. The things to be aware of for shoes without a removable insole are:
1. The insole you order should be 3/4 length
2. The interior of the shoe should be relatively flat
3. The design of the shoe should be such that it does not deform the finished insole.
This is highly dependent on the use the orthotics are subjected to. For everyday walking/working applications, you can expect 2 years of use. For the avid runner, you can expect one season of use.
We like to have the shoe size as we need to know what size to trim the outside edge of the insole to. If you prefer to have loose-fitting shoes, and we used your imprint to determine the edge trim of the insole, it would end up being a little small for the inside of the shoe. This would result in an insole that may slide around.
We do not recommend doing this, however, if the shoes are of
similar size and design, the answer is yes.
Yes, we can. However, you must have shoes of the proper width. This is one of the reasons that we ask you to make a tracing of the removable insole from the shoe you wish to use your insole in.
The orthotics should be h only. Do not submerge in water or place in a and-washeddryer.
Metatarsal pads are extra support under the transversal arch, used to relieve and re-distribute weight under the ball of the foot. The pads are placed behind the ball of the foot.
Medical
It is not likely; however we encourage you to check with your insurance provider.
No. Flat feet is a condition that cannot be cured without surgery to change the foot's structure. Our product should improve comfort for the vast majority of our customers.

No. Heel lifts are a medically prescribed adjustment that we cannot accommodate.
