Arch Bar
A longitudinal support starting just past the end of the heel bone, 1/8” in thickness and 2.5” to 3” in length made with Cushion Cork. Good for plantar fasciitis, general heel pain, pronation control, supination control, and stress reduction from instep
Heel Bar
A perpendicular support starting just past the heel bone, ¼” in thickness and wraps from lateral to medial edge of insert. Good for plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, general heel pain, lack of fat pad in heel.
Metatarsal Pad
Aligned approximately ¼” behind the 1st metatarsal head, 1/8” thickness, size depending on insert size made with firm SR Poron (grey). Good for neuromas, Morton’s neuroma, hammer toes, and toe cramping.
METATARSAL BAR (T-FORM)
Wider version of classic metatarsal pad, aligned approximately ¼”
behind the 1st metatarsal head, 1/8” thickness, size dependent on insert size made with cushion cork. Good for neuromas, Morton’s neuroma, hammer toes, and toe cramping.
MEDIAL HEEL WEDGE
A support in the inside of the need to mid-arch, 1/8” thickness, size
dependent on insert size made of cushion cork. Good for pronation control, post tibia tendon support, plantar fasciitis for flat feet, and correction for heel inversion.
LATERAL HEEL WEDGE
Aligned from mid-rear heel to 5th MPJ base, 1/8” thickness, size
dependent on insert size made of cushion cork. Not recommended for most conditions. Good for over-supination. Should be combined with motion control footwear
MEDIAL FOREFOOT WEDGE
Aligned approximately ¼” behind 1st MPJ, 1/16” thickness and
covering 1st to 3rd MPJ made of 65 durometer Soleflex (crepe rubber). Good for correction of a forefoot valgus (inversion), accommodation of forefoot varus (eversion), gait correction and
balance.
LATERAL FOREFOOT WEDGE
Aligned approximately ¼” behind 5th MPJ, 1/16” thickness and
covering 3rd to 5th MPJ made of 65 durometer Soleflex (crepe rubber). Good for correction of a forefoot varus (eversion), accommodation of forefoot valgus (inversion), gait correction and
balance.
MPJ CUT-OUT
A MPJ cutout for any metatarsal heads made of 1/8” in thickness cushion cork. Good for offloading one or two injured MPJ’s creating a depression zone. Can be filled with SR Poron if ulcer or hotspot is evident.
HEEL CUSHION (PAD)
Extra heel cushion is a great way to add shock absorbsion to the calcaneous or elevate the heel to reduce loading on the Achelles tendon. To alleviate Achilles tendon issues we recommend 1/4" Poron (polyurethane). For extra shock absorption, we recommend 1/8" Poron
LATERAL HEEL BAR (CUBOID BAR)
A lateral heel bar is located directly below the cuboid bone and the top option to reduce the amount of supination in the rearfoot. This is most effective with 1/8" Multi-cork material at a 55 durometer hardness and wraps up the external lateral wall of the insert.
