Today we’re going to talk about what the secret to our orthotics is. 

In the world of foot orthotics there is no shortage of ways that podiatrists, pedorthists, and other prosthetic professionals use to create orthotics.

As technology advances there is a bigger push to rely on digital processes. 

And here at the store we’ve used and tried just about every thing out there to try and create the perfect orthotic.

But after thousands of happy customers, we have one process that works better than anything else we’ve tried.

And that process is using the slipper cast method.

Now, this method isn’t anything new.

In fact, it’s been around quite a while and it’s messy, and can take a bit of time.

But the way we’re doing it here at the store, and then how the actual orthotic is made is the key.

And in the video on this page, you’ll see how this process is done, and the secret to how our orthotics are made.
