Introduction
Foot pain, fatigue, or discomfort can often be traced back to one simple cause: poor foot support. Whether you’re on your feet all day or dealing with a specific condition like flat feet or plantar fasciitis, custom insoles might be the solution. But how do you know if you need them?
What Are Custom Insoles?
Custom insoles—also known as orthotics—are specially designed inserts that fit inside your shoes to support your feet. Unlike off-the-shelf options, custom insoles are tailored to your unique foot shape, gait, and medical needs.
Signs You Might Need Custom Insoles
– Persistent foot, heel, or arch pain
– Uneven shoe wear
– Flat feet or high arches
– Frequent ankle sprains or instability
– Knee, hip, or lower back pain linked to foot alignment
How We Assess and Fit Insoles at Kooyong Podiatry
At Kooyong Podiatry, we use a thorough biomechanical assessment to determine if custom insoles are right for you. This includes:
– Gait analysis
– Chair side assessment – weightbearing and non-weightbearing
– A discussion of your lifestyle and footwear needs
We then design insoles that provide the right support, cushioning, and alignment for your feet.

– Improved comfort and posture
– Reduced pain and fatigue
– Better support for daily activities or sports
