Although many specialists make orthotics (chiropractors, physical therapists, and pedorthists, to name a few) they just don't have the knowledge or training to be able to do this as well as a qualified sports medicine podiatrist. Dr. Jenny Sanders shows you how her state-of-the-art Sports Medicine Clinic, Financial District Foot & Ankle Center in San Francisco, evaluates athletes for custom orthotics. FDFAC Custom Orthotics are perfect for keeping proper alignment for athletic competition for those who have ankle instability or flat feet.
Financial District Foot & Ankle Center's state of the art Gait Lab utilizes HP Cosmos Running Machine, HP Cosmos Paramotion Video Analysis System and Tek Scan's F-Scan to help athletes perform at their true potential. The experience gathered since 1990, has also provided knowledge that transfers to helping children and the general public. At FDFAC, you don't need to be an extreme athlete to be treated like one.

Except the orthotics fit her…the liners from the shoes did not they were too small in length and toe box width. So you effectively cut the orthotics to also not fit and be too small for her.

My custom orthotic did not come with a cover. They are carbon fiber. Do I put it under the sneaker insert that comes with the shoe or do I put my orthotic on top of the standard sneaker insole?

[@parijatmathur8489]

Wrap the orthotic with a thin nonsmooth cloth & tape it on the underside of the orthotic, maybe.

[@parijatmathur8489]

If you can get hold of a surgical patch(large sized) that comes with glue preapplied, that can be simply wrapped over the insole.

@@parijatmathur8489 Thank you

Do I still buy stability shoes even though my orthos are for overpronating?

[@parijatmathur8489]

Yes, the stability shoes(which resist torsion) will augment your orthotic to prevent the ankle from rolling inwards.

Orthotics should be stopping the foot rolling

what is the case in case of formal shoes

Wow .... very informative. After refusing the 1st option of a $450 special orthotic... I purchased the $55 Full Length Pure Stride Orthotic. My orthotics were handed to me .... and I was on my way. Unfortunately, when I got home, they didn't fit into ANY of my shoes. I bought a pair of sneakers that they would fit into ... and now the shoe is too big and slips up and down. I think I need another podiatrist.
