After all material preferences, have been decided you will be mailed a foam foot impression. This box of foam will have 2 sides. Both sides will be utilized to take an “impression” of your feet. This will allow our technician and orthotist to determine your arch height, heels, soles and assess other areas of your feet.
When performing the foam foot impression make sure you are seated in a chair. Make sure your knee is bent at 90 degrees and then apply weight into the foam foot impression equally. Please ensure you do one foot at a time. After application of the foam foot impression, please ensure you send the foam foot impression back to Great Lakes Orthotics & Medical Supply, Inc. with the appropriate return label.
