Off-the-shelf inserts are made for an average foot. Custom orthotics from Rocky Mountain Foot & Ankle are designed specifically for your feet, your mechanics, and your condition, providing support that store-bought inserts simply can’t match.
What are custom orthotics?
Custom orthotics are prescription shoe inserts made from a precise model of your foot. Unlike drugstore insoles, they’re engineered to correct the specific way your foot moves — redistributing pressure, supporting your arch, and improving alignment from the ground up.
Conditions custom orthotics help
Orthotics can relieve and prevent a wide range of problems, including plantar fasciitis and heel pain, flat feet and fallen arches, bunions, diabetic foot complications, arthritis, and sports-related overuse injuries. They’re also valuable for anyone who stands or walks for long hours.
Our fitting process
We start with a biomechanical exam and a precise scan of your feet. Your orthotics are then fabricated to your prescription and fine-tuned at a follow-up visit to ensure comfort and fit. We’ll guide you through a short break-in period so they feel natural in your everyday shoes.
Insurance and coverage
Many insurance plans provide coverage for medically necessary custom orthotics. Our team accepts most major plans and will help you understand your benefits and any out-of-pocket costs before you commit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are custom orthotics better than store-bought inserts?
Yes. Off-the-shelf inserts add cushioning but aren’t built for your specific mechanics. Custom orthotics are prescribed to correct the underlying issue, which makes them more effective and longer-lasting.
How long do custom orthotics last?
With normal use, custom orthotics typically last several years. We’ll let you know when adjustments or replacements are due.
Do I need a referral for custom orthotics?
Usually no. You can schedule an evaluation directly with us. We’ll determine whether orthotics are right for you and check your insurance coverage.
