Why Smith Orthotics

Precision craftsmanship, every order.

Children's Program

Free replacement orthotics for patients under 13 who outgrow their devices within 18 months of the original order date.

Prescription Orthotics

Custom devices. Clinically precise. Built to last.

Foot orthotics are shoe inserts designed to support, align, and improve the function of the foot and spine. Professionally made orthotics can reduce or eliminate discomfort caused by plantar fasciitis, bone spurs, diabetic foot ulcers, and soft tissue degeneration.

Evidence also shows that properly prescribed custom orthotics can help reduce the need for spinal surgery — making precision in fabrication critical.

Orthotic Care

Getting the most from your orthotics.

Break-In Period

Wear your orthotics while standing or walking for 1 hour per day for the first three days. Starting day four, increase wear time by one hour every day until comfortable all day.

We recommend breaking in orthotics with a new pair of shoes. Strenuous activity is not recommended in the first week. If discomfort persists after break-in, an adjustment may be needed.

Cleaning & Storage
  • Remove orthotics from shoes at the end of each day to air out
  • Clean gently with mild soap and water, then air dry completely
  • Never machine wash, tumble dry, or use a hair dryer
  • Avoid leaving in a hot car — heat and sun damage orthotics
Children's Replacement Program

One pair of free replacement orthotics will be provided for children under 13 who have outgrown their devices within 18 months of the original order date.
