How We Make Your Custom Foot Orthotics

Custom Foot Orthotics - designed for your orthotic needs.

For Great Lakes Orthotics & Medical Supply, Inc. to assess the proper foot orthotic for you, the process is dependent first off on your level of activity, which is done through a quick questionnaire on our website. This survey will enable our technician and orthotist to determine the perfect solution to your aches and pains:

  • Level of activity
  • Pain generators

Next we will then ask your preference on material this will include top covers and thickness of your orthotic. For more information on what material might be the solution for you, please check our materials section.

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.
