Improve Your Health
If you spend the majority of your work day on your feet, whether it be cutting hair, walking around in stiff dress shoes, or on the job site, Surefoot Orthotics can improve your comfort and overall health. Many people have pain in various places of the body as a result of their feet. For example, back pain can often occur when of your arches collapse inward. This causes the knees to come in and the hips to come forward which ultimately results in the lower back arching more than it should. Surefoot Orthotics allow the feet to be properly supported which in turn supports the back. Surefoot Orthotics can often help other ailments such as plantar fasciitis and Mortin's Neuroma. Plantar Fasciitis is a band of tissue that stretches underneath the foot from the heel to the metatarsal heads. Often small tears can develop near the heel for many different reasons. The result is a lot of discomfort and unfortunately a long recovery time. The Surefoot Orthotics can help since it will properly support the foot and provide cushion at the same time. Mortin's Neuroma can be alieved by properly supporting the entire foot including the metatarsal arch. This support will distribute the weight of the forefoot and therefore separate the metatarsal heads.
Preventative
Not only will Surefoot Orthotics make shoes more comfortable, and improve performance in many activities, but they also help to make sure injuries do not occur in the future. Allowing the body to be properly cushioned and supported will decreased the chance of injuries, especially in runners and other high risk people.

Have you ever walked on the beach and looked behind you to see perfect replicas of your footprints? This is the idea behind Surefoot’s foam impression boxes. The process is simple and starts once you have received our impression kit in the mail. Follow the straightforward instructions included in the box and your part of the process will be done in only a matter of minutes. Finally, place the foam impression kit back in the shipping box, apply the pre-paid return label, and send it back to us where we will complete the orthotics.
Once Surefoot receives your foam impression kit, we use digital scanners to convert your mold into an image that our milling machines can read. From there, we use the same process that customers experience when getting scanned in our stores. Surefoot’s CAD/CAM milling machines produce the orthotics in about thirty minutes. Your orthotics are then complete and will be shipped to you.

1. Find a Store: Determine the Surefoot location that is most convenient for you. For a list of our world-wide locations, click here.
2. Customer Analysis: We start by gathering information about your history and participation in sports. We then analyze your feet, taking into account the nuances of tendons, muscles, ligaments and all 26 bones in each foot.
3. Orthotic Foot Scan: One of our technicians will then ask you to step on to one of our foot scanners. He/She will place your foot in a neutral stance, which is its strongest natural position. Using pressure-sensitive rubber pegs, your foot will be measured by a computer in 538 places. This produces a three-dimensional topographical “map’ of the bottom of your foot.
4. Altering the Orthotic to Your Activity: Once we have scanned the foot in the neutral position, the computer makes modifications to the orthotic depending on your preferred activity of participation. For example, the computer can perfectly place a metatarsal pad for bike shoes or decrease the orthotic’s arch a certain percentage for running shoes.
5. Fabrication: Using your personal computer-generated measurements, orthotics are milled out of EVA blanks on a three-axis CAD/CAM milling machine. This orthotic is then sealed with one of our non-slip Surefoot topsheets that best fits your shoe, body, and the activity that you wish to participate in.
6. The Results: In only thirty minutes, your Surefoot Orthotics will be placed in your athletic or daily footwear and are ready for use.
