Customised insoles, also referred to as custom foot orthotics, are prescription shoe inserts designed to support the natural contour of the foot, align the ankle, and enhance overall posture and foot functionality. At Realign Podiatry, our podiatrist may recommend these orthotics to address various biomechanical issues affecting the foot, ankle, legs, and lower back.

Air them out after use to prevent odor.
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat.
