Services

* Extra Charge


Shape and Length

 

3/4 length devices are more easily accommodated in footwear. Full length devices are made to fit the shoe, therefore you must tell us the size of shoe the device will be worn in.

 

The insole length is made to fit the shoe. We use a standard range of children's, ladies and men’s templates, you can request either the children's, men's or ladies shape of templete. Sending a foot sketch allows us to place cut outs more accurately. Insoles can be made to fit non standard footwear, by either sending an accurate template (preferably the insole or liner from the shoe) or the shoes themselves.

 

Covering Options (Material swatches available)

 

A variety of covering materials are available. Suedette is recommended as a thin comfort cover, ideal for those patients prone to blistering. Thin Astroshock is recommended as a washable cover for sports players or where shock attenuation is required.

 

Lab Assessment Service

Accurate determination of the postings required is difficult without the carbonflex kit. The carbonflex shells have an intrinsic post inbuilt, which gives varying amounts of medial posting, depending on the height of the patients natural non weight bearing arch profile. A patient with a low natural arch profile may get up to 8o of medial rearfoot correction from the intrinsic post. A patient with a high natural arch profile may get 0o medial rearfoot correction from the intrinsic post.

 

To use this lab assessment service you must send either a foot sketch or a cast. You must also complete the quantification box on the prescription form labelled WITHOUT CARBONFLEX KIT

We will then depending on the reported arch profile deduct a number of degrees from the rearfoot posting requested/NCSP to take into account the intrinsic posting.
