  • Comes in multiple sizes
  • Can be altered to provide more or less support by your podiatrist
  • Can be used for short term injuries
  • Issued on the day – no need to order
  • Generic Arch Mould may not completely contour your arch leading to blistering and discomfort
  • Generic support prescription– device will need to be further altered to suit your biomechanics
  • Short life span (approx. 1year depending on use)
  • Bulkier device so may not fit into shoes
  • Great for short term use
  • Great for kids who are growing
  • Cheaper than other orthotics but may not fit your foot as well as the others

  • More durable compared to pre-fabricated
  • Minimal bulk so can fit into most dress shoes and runners
