Modern Foot & Ankle offers tailored orthotic and footwear solutions for patients experiencing foot pain, discomfort, or biomechanical imbalances. Custom orthotics and footwear can enhance comfort, support, and alignment, ultimately improving foot function and overall quality of life. This guide will help you understand the benefits of custom orthotics and footwear, and how our expert team of podiatrists can provide personalized care to address your specific needs.
Orthotic inserts are shoe insoles that are designed to provide extra comfort and arch support and alleviate foot or heel pain. They are also meant to encourage alignment and proper foot movement, differentiating them from the memory foam inserts you might see at a grocery or department store.
Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts that correct and optimize foot function, while providing additional support and cushioning. Custom footwear, on the other hand, is specifically designed to accommodate unique foot shapes and biomechanical needs. Both custom orthotics and footwear can significantly improve comfort and function for individuals experiencing foot pain or biomechanical imbalances.
Various foot and ankle conditions can be effectively managed or improved with custom orthotics and footwear, such as:
Orthotics are oftentimes specifically customized for each patient’s particular needs and can be prescribed and even designed by a physician. From thinner dress orthotics to athletic tennis shoe orthotics, each of these customized inserts is constructed for durability with the appropriate flexibility.
Moore Foot and Ankle Specialists’ custom prescription orthotics from the orthopedic lab are constructed from a plaster cast taken of the patient in the office. The insert will last a lifetime and can be molded to any type of foot cushions and for any type of shoe.
Since “one size fits all” isn’t the case with orthotic inserts, specialized inserts exist for dress shoes and high heels. These orthotics have a slimmer design and come in narrower cuts to fit stylish, professional dress shoes, while still maintaining the functionality and support of a “normal” orthotic insert.
From hockey skates to old-school cleats, our polypropylene thermo molded insert material will give and flex while providing quality support during any sport. They are also designed using non-absorbable material and non-skid bottoms to wick away moisture and allow for easy cleaning after a game.
No matter your occupation, our work orthotics can provide the highest quality support for your feet and ankles. Oftentimes specialized shoes for construction workers, landscapers, or even first responders don’t provide the correct support for the job. Our comfortable, supportive work orthotics will allow you to shift your focus from your feet to your career.

Understanding the nuances of insurance coverage for custom molded orthotics can be quite complex, as policies vary greatly between providers. Generally, insurance companies may cover custom orthotics if deemed medically necessary and prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional.
To navigate these waters, it's advisable to consult directly with your insurance provider or check the plans we accept on our Insurance Page.

Custom molded orthotics cost ranges are from $250 to $1000 depending upon the materials and warranty.
Insurance coverage for custom orthotics depends on your policy and the reason for the orthotics. Many insurance plans do cover them, especially if prescribed by a healthcare provider for a medical condition. It's advisable to check with your insurance to determine eligibility and coverage extent.
You should wear orthotics during any weight-bearing activity. Some orthotics will not fit in certain shoes, and some normal shoes have inherent arch support that works well.
For certain orthotics, bigger shoes are required due to their construction (wider, heel posting, extra padding, or forefoot extensions). Some of the newer and thinner orthotic materials do not need bigger shoes or modifications.
Depending on the foot, ankle, knee, hip, or low back problem, the issues can return if you stop wearing your orthotics. Bare feet, flat shoes, sandals or other unsupported shoe gear are unavoidable in certain circumstances, but consistent use of orthotics should prevent symptoms from returning.
Most orthotic labs recommend a firmer shoe and more ankle support so the custom orthotic or custom insoles does not move inside of the shoe during activities. Another good shoe choice are the “anti-pronation,” heel-stabilization, or inner sole reinforced athletic varieties that prevent the orthotic from compressing inward during activities.
Custom foot orthotics can last as little as a few weeks and as long as a lifetime. The longevity of the custom foot orthotics depends upon the materials used and the orthotic design. The more soft, compressible, and additional layers of the material, the shorter the lifespan of the orthotic. Flexible thermo-molded materials like polypropylene can last for years, especially without additional layers and adding forefoot extensions.
