Custom orthotics are used to relieve pain, improve mobility and maintain function.

Custom foot orthotics are inserts that are worn inside of shoes. They differ to off-the-shelf orthotics in that they are designed specifically to an individual’s foot shape, foot posture and function. They act by supporting the feet and correcting alignment, which aids in more efficient foot function.

At Mentone Orthotics by Highett Podiatry, we pride ourselves on using the latest of technologies including 3-D scanning and 3-D printing of your orthotic devices.

Our prescription of orthotics is conducted in an ethical and caring manner. We pride ourselves on following our patients closely through their orthotic prescription, wearing in process and injury resolution. We ensure all our patients expectations are met fully and work on the principle that “orthotics should be comfortable” and “shouldn’t feel hard.”

• Flat Feet

• Toe Walking
