Custom Orthotics vs. Off-the-Shelf Insoles

Method: Custom orthotics are biomechanically engineered based on a thorough gait analysis and assessment of your unique foot structure. Off-the-shelf insoles are mass-produced in standard sizes and shapes without any individual assessment.

Best For: Custom orthotics are designed to correct specific biomechanical issues such as overpronation, supination, and uneven load distribution. Off-the-shelf insoles may offer general cushioning and short-term comfort but don’t address individual foot mechanics.

Fit & Durability: Custom orthotics are built to match your exact foot shape and activity level for a precise, long-lasting fit. Off-the-shelf insoles use generic sizing and typically wear out faster.

Availability at Dr. Lau’s clinic: Dr. Lau’s NW Calgary practice offers comprehensive biomechanical gait assessments and fully custom-made orthotics tailored to each patient.
