<p>A method of making a semirigid orthotic insert for a shoe comprising the steps of making a shell having an imprint of the user's foot on its top surface. Then when the shell is placed in the shoe in which it is to be used, the foot is positioned so that the ankle and leg bones are in the preferred alignment. Then the space created between the heel portion of the bottom of the shell and the sole of the shoe is filled with appropriate material to support the shell in the preferred position. This in effect tilts the shell, which is semirigid so that there is a space created between the ball portion of the shell and the sole of the shoe. This space is then filled with an appropriate support material so that when the shell is in the shoe it supports the foot in its preferred subtalar neutral position.</p> |
