Whether you're training for your first 5k or you're a seasoned marathoner, the demands we place on our feet and knees while running are extreme. Custom running orthotics can reduce stress on your body.

Because of the increased stress on feet caused by running, runners are naturally at high risk of chronic injury, such as:

To minimize risk of injury and maximize running efficiency, a firm but flexible orthotic is necessary to provide support for your feet and ankles in a bio-mechanically neutral position. It's our philosophy at The Custom Foot that running orthotics need to be as supportive as possible while still allowing your feet to function as they are designed to - functions such as absorbing shock, acting as a lever and providing sensory feedback of the terrain you're on. To maintain these key functions, the materials that make up the running orthotics need to be firm and durable, holding up to the constant pressure of running without compressing or breaking. They also must still provide cushion and flexibility to absorb the shock of running on hard surfaces like concrete.

The Custom Foot's focus is on providing support and a solid foundation to align your foot with the rest of your skeletal structure. We start by forming an impression of your foot in a bio-mechanically neutral position.

Then a combination of materials is used to create a flexible, yet supportive orthotic that will allow full range of motion while helping to absorb shocks and high-impact stresses from running.
