A lot of people need something a little bit more than an over-the-counter insole, but can't afford a custom-made insole.
So I've worked with my lab to determine a way to create an insole for your foot just taking pictures.

This is something that's really amazing to me and it's a great option for people who are looking for a great device
but can't afford a custom-made insole. A lot of the time this is covered by insurance. For people who don't have insurance,
it can be very hard to get. This is how you can get yourself a customized orthotic that's made
very close to your foot with the same quality and same products as the custom made orthotics
I make in my office. I've worked with my lab to develop this.
It's very close to a custom made orthotics
except it's customized orthotic because we truly haven't taken a 3D mold of your foot. This is very simple.
You just need to take four pictures, two pictures of each foot.
All you need is a coin, for my American toes
you guys can use a quarter and for my Canadians, if you can use a toonie if for those Americans don't know a toonie is two dollars.
One picture we need is the side view of your foot with the coin also taped to the side.
This is gonna help give us a few measurements
we need to determine your arch height and your arch length.
The other photo we need is just of the coin on the bottom of your foot, taped anywhere and again showing the whole
size of your foot. This is going to give us the measurements
we need to get the length and the width of your foot and heel. With those two pictures per foot,
we can actually create
something that looks just like this that's gonna match your arch height better and have a better slimmer fit to your shoe.
I'm creating three different versions: a dress shoe, an everyday shoe, and more of an athletic shoe insole.
The difference between them is obviously if we're in a running shoe,
we can have more padding and we've more room for more control of the orthotic
versus a casual insole that requires to be a little bit thinner and not as much padding and of course a dress shoe orthotic
that's going to be half and much thinner.
There's no right insole for you. The only thing that really matters is that the one that you
purchased gives you the comfort and the support and the relief that you need. If you're looking for a more
customized insole, you can always check out my website at
www.thetoebro.com under "foot products" and you'll be able to find this customized insole.
All you have to do is you send me pictures of your feet and I'll tell you if (the pictures) are good or not
and from those four pictures you send me, we can create a customized orthotic just for you.
This is something I'm really excited to share with you guys. Please let me know the feedback. I want to give you guys help and
have access to tools that you might not be able to. So this insole I'm creating for you guys is something
really new and I find it's a great option where you don't have to spend too much, but you still get the same quality and
same process as a custom-made orthotic without it being a custom-made orthotic.
This product can be found at
www.thetoebro.com under "foot products" and
it's a great option
if you're looking for something that's giving you a little bit more of a customized support for your foot without having to sacrifice
seeing a foot specialist or buying a custom-made orthotic. You know a big thing for all of you guys.
These devices aren't toys; they're made to
support your foot, they can change the way you walk, and this could be dangerous.
So it's really important you always, you know,
check out your family doctor or foot specialist near you and just get an idea of what your feet really need. If you've been trying
these over-the-counter devices and it's still not working for you, that's the sign that you definitely need to go see someone.
