A contoured, moldable orthotic device (1) of about three-quarters the length of the boot or shoe in which it is to fit, wherein the device has an integrally-formed heel cup (2), a longitudinal arch "raise" (3), a metatarsal "raise" (4) and a varus post (.THETA.). The device is placed in the boot or shoe as far back as it will go and then heated. The patient's boot is introduced into the boot or shoe and the now-pliable orthotic device is molded and otherwise manipulated to the foot.
