Foot Levelers
What are Foot Levelers Custom Orthotics?
Foot Levelers Custom orthotics are foot supports inserted into your shoe to improve your foot position and timing during gait to reduce the stress and strain on your feet that leads to pain in your feet, knees and low back. Foot Levelers orthotics are clinician-designed for your unique foot and health challenges with unique layers for optimum fit, maximum comfort and superior control.
How are Foot Levelers Orthotics different from other Custom Orthotics?
Foot Levelers uses a 3D scanner to analyze your foot print while you stand. Whereas, most custom orthotics are designed with non-weightbearing assessments, Foot Levelers provides a comprehensive analysis of your foot pressures and position during weight bearing. These measurements are used to design the best orthotic, providing you with the support you need to return to a pain-free, active lifestyle.
Who can benefit from Foot Levelers Custom Orthotics?
People with high arches, low arches and joint pain related to dysfunctional foot posture and timing will benefit from Foot Levelers Orthotics.

Understanding Your Feet
Are your feet healthy? Flat feet, foot pronation, or foot imbalances can lead to foot pain, knee pain, hip pain, back pain, and even shoulder pain. If you are considering individually designed Custom Orthotics, a health care professional can perform a foot scan to show you how imbalances in the feet can lead to problems in the knees, hips, back and shoulders. The foot scan will show how Functional Orthotics may help. Following a foot scan, a report will provide you a Pronation/Stability Index, a Foot Assessment, and a Body Assessment.
Your Score (Pronation/Stability Index™)
Your Pronation/Stability Index™ score appears on the clinical Report of Findings that is produced when your feet are scanned by our 3D laser technology. The Pronation/Stability Index™ is a proprietary algorithm based on 16 different measurements of the foot. Taken from a foam cast or laser scan of the feet, the Index indicates the amount of arch collapse your feet are seeing. The higher the number, the more collapse. The index reveals the severity of pronation/stability in your feet, ranging from Optimal to Severe. An index of 102, for example, is Moderate pronation/instability. Untreated imbalances of any level may lead to chronic problems throughout your body.
Your Body
The body assessment image shows how imbalances in the feet can lead to knee rotation, pelvic tilt and shoulder drop. These imbalances in the body can be caused by pronation and supination of the foot. These instabilities can lead to conditions such as plantar fasciitis, knee pain, hip pain, back pain, and neck pain. A properly aligned body will have symmetrical feet, level knees, pelvis and shoulders. Wearing Custom Orthotics may help alleviate imbalances and conditions caused by those imbalances.
