Optimization: Orthosis Fitting

The lab can fit the orthotic to a patient’s shoe gear by submitting one of the following with the order:

Tracing

When tracing an insole, undercut the heel area to properly capture its inferior aspect, ensuring all areas that contact the shoe board are obtained. If scanning a tracing, scan must be 1:1 scale. Tracing can be emailed to [email protected] or shipped with the completed order form and foot impression to laboratory.

Note: When dispensing orthotic, be sure to check that the order fits in the shoe properly with no buckling of the extension, and the frame sits evenly and flatly in the shoe gear.

Insoles

An insole from the patient’s shoes can be submitted to help precisely match the shape of the shoe with the orthotic that will be worn. Insoles can be shipped with the completed order form and foot impression to the laboratory.

Note: When dispensing orthotic, be sure to check that the order fits in the shoe properly with no buckling of the extension, and the frame sits evenly and flatly in the shoe gear.

Shoes

For optimal fit, shoes can be submitted to the lab with an order. This is especially helpful for hard to fit shoe gear, such as: women’s dress shoes, riding boots, ice skates or ski boots. Shoes can be shipped with the completed order form and foot impression to the laboratory.

Note: When dispensing the orthotic, be sure to check that the device fits in the shoe properly, with no buckling of the extension, and the frame sits evenly and flatly in the shoe gear.
