Custom orthotic insoles in Singapore provide long-lasting relief from foot pain. Unlike standard shoe inserts that give only temporary comfort, podiatrists design these insoles to fit your unique foot shape and movement pattern. They actively correct alignment and target the root cause of discomfort, helping you move pain-free whether you’re walking, standing, or playing sports.

At MyFootDr Singapore, our podiatrists utilise modern technology such as 3D pro sensors, pressure-sensing treadmills, and in-house 3D printing to create customised insoles that match your lifestyle and needs. These orthotics are made from sustainable materials and designed for both adults and children, offering precise support and improved foot function.

What Are Custom Orthotic Insoles?

Custom orthotic insoles, also known as customised foot orthoses, give your feet the support they need while improving alignment, posture, and overall function. Podiatrists design these insoles tailored to your foot shape and individual needs. Unlike generic insoles, custom orthotics target and correct issues such as flat feet, relieve pressure in sensitive areas, and enhance stability when you walk or run.

At MyFootDr, our podiatrists combine clinical expertise with technology to craft every pair of custom insoles. We use digital foot scanning and pressure-mapping systems to capture the exact contours of your feet in their corrected standing position. We use computer-aided design to adjust every detail of your orthotics, making sure they fit perfectly, support your feet properly, and keep you comfortable all day.

How Do Custom Orthotic Insoles Work?

Custom orthotic insoles fix the real cause of foot pain instead of just adding extra padding. Podiatrists design them after carefully checking how you walk, stand, and move. They make each insole to match your exact foot shape and condition, whether you have plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or high arches. These insoles support your feet properly, spread your body weight evenly, and reduce pressure on painful areas so you can move more comfortably.

They also help realign your feet and make each step more stable. A deep heel cup keeps your heel steady, while gentle support guides your feet into a healthier position. This takes pressure off your joints, muscles, and ligaments, improves posture, and reduces pain not only in your feet but also in your knees, hips, and lower back.

How Podiatrists Help with Custom Orthotics?

Podiatrists help make sure your custom orthotics truly work for you. We use our expertise to design insoles that are comfortable, practical, and built to give long-term comfort. The process starts with a thorough check-up to find what’s really causing your foot pain. They look at how you walk, stand, and move through tests like gait and biomechanical analysis. Once they understand your feet, they create orthotics that match your foot shape, weight, shoes, and daily routine, whether you’re working, walking, or playing sports.

Benefits of Custom-Made Orthotic Insoles

Custom-made orthotic insoles are designed to match your feet perfectly, giving you the right support to walk, run, or stand with greater comfort and confidence. Here are some of the key benefits:

Support and stability: provide consistent support for your feet and legs when standing, walking, or playing sports, boosting confidence and performance.
Better posture and balance: improve weight distribution and alignment to reduce strain on joints and muscles.
Correct abnormal foot function: address issues like flat feet or high arches to prevent conditions from worsening.
Relieve pain: help manage low back pain from leg length differences and ease both chronic and acute sports injuries.
Optimise comfort: enhance shoe fit, improve shock absorption, and reduce everyday discomfort.
Support healthy growth in children: guide the feet into a more neutral and aligned position during development.
Prevent falls: improve overall balance and stability, especially helpful for older adults.

The Process of Creating Customised Orthotic Insoles

At My Foot Dr Singapore, we follow a thorough and patient-focused process to make sure your orthotic insoles are a perfect fit for your lifestyle and needs. Each stage is designed to uncover the root of your foot issues and create insoles that deliver real, lasting relief.

Comprehensive Assessment

Your visit starts with an in-depth musculoskeletal and gait assessment. We don’t just look at your feet, we also check how your legs, hips, and back move because everything is connected. Using video analysis, we assess your stance, walking, and running patterns. This gives us a complete picture of how your feet bear weight, where imbalances occur, and how they might be causing pain or discomfort.

3D Scanning

Next, we capture a precise 3D scan of your feet in their corrected position. This scan records every contour of your foot down to 0.1 mm accuracy. This method is cleaner, faster, and far more precise. If adjustments like a heel lift are required for issues such as leg length differences, your podiatrist will show you these corrections on a high-definition screen so you can actually see how your custom insoles will be designed.

Customisation Options

Based on the assessment and 3D scan, our podiatrists design orthotics that fit your specific needs. We personalise every detail based on your foot condition, lifestyle, activity level, and footwear choices. For example, if you’re a runner, your insoles may include shock absorption and stability features. If you have flat feet, your orthotics may focus on arch support. Every choice we make is about giving you the most effective support possible.

Manufacturing

Once your design is finalised, the scans are sent to our orthotics lab. Here, we use only the highest quality materials, ranging from durable Carbon Fibre and PA11 Nylon to eco-friendly recycled materials for sustainability-conscious patients. Depending on your needs, your insoles may include softer cushioning for high-pressure areas or more rigid support for stability. This attention to detail ensures your insoles aren’t just supportive, but also long-lasting and comfortable.

Production Time

We understand that when you’re in pain, you want relief quickly. That’s why, in some cases, we can provide your custom insoles on the same day as your assessment. Otherwise, they’ll usually be ready within 2–14 days. We balance speed with precision so you get the right fit without long waiting times.

Fitting & Follow-Up

Once your insoles are ready, you’ll come back for a fitting session. Here, we use advanced systems like Zebris RehaWalk® and Run3D infrared gait analysis to show you how your new insoles redistribute pressure and improve your foot posture. You’ll be able to see the difference on screen while also feeling the comfort in your shoes. If needed, we make fine adjustments to make sure the insoles are working exactly as they should.
