Why I Joined Bilt Labs
"For decades, I watched patients struggle with a broken system. They were forced to choose between $50 drugstore inserts that did nothing, or $600 custom orthotic insoles that were often not covered by insurance."
As a surgeon, I know that biomechanics matters. A generic 'gel pad' cannot correct overpronation or support a collapsing arch. It takes a custom mold to do that. But the traditional process of visiting a clinic, getting casted, and waiting weeks was too expensive and inaccessible for most people.
Our goal is simple: Professional-grade relief, delivered to your door, for a price that makes sense.
