The "Kiosk" Deception

The "Match" Myth

Those machines at the pharmacy aren't making you a custom product. They are simply a fancy vending machine. They measure pressure, then recommend one of 4 or 5 pre-made shapes.

If you have high arches, it gives you "Product 110". If your neighbor has high arches, they get "Product 110".

That isn't custom. That is multiple choice.

Pharmacy Kiosk

  • Uses a 2D Pressure Map (Not a 3D mold)
  • Selects from pre-made inventory
  • Zero correction for specific heel depth
  • One firmness for everyone (Squishy)

Generic Kiosk Complaints (Common)

"Didn't fix my issue"

"The machine told me I was a 'number 110', but these feel just like the gel inserts I bought for $15 last year. No arch support at all."

"Waste of money"

"Spent $50 on these 'custom fit' insoles and they wore out in 3 months. Should have just gone to a real doctor."

"Better than the Kiosk"

"I used Dr. Scholl's for years thinking it was normal to replace them every few months. Bilt Labs feels like actual medical equipment. The support is rigid where it needs to be."

- Michael R., Texas

Verified Buyer

"Real Arch Support"

"The difference between a generic 'match' and a custom mold is night and day. My plantar fasciitis pain disappeared in week 2."

- Sarah L., Ohio

Common Questions

How does Bilt Labs compare to Dr. Scholl's?
Dr. Scholl's Kiosks measure pressure to recommend a pre-made insole from a limited inventory. Bilt Labs sends you a foam impression kit to capture the exact 3D shape of your foot, then we manufacture a custom medical-grade shell specifically for you.
Can I use my FSA or HSA card?
Yes! Bilt Labs custom orthotics are fully FSA and HSA eligible because they are a medical device. Dr. Scholl's inserts are often not eligible because they are over-the-counter products.
What if they don't work for me?
We offer a 180-Day Money-Back Guarantee. Most drugstore brands only offer a 30-day return policy.
