FAQ's

How long does it take to receive my new custom orthotics?

Once an order is placed, we ship out your foot mold impression kit within 1-2 business days. Once we receive the kit back, we will design and build your new custom orthotics and have them shipped out to you within 21 business days.

We ship all our packages via Priority Mail service which is Faster Delivery Speed than their new cheaper Ground Advantage service.

Do you take insurance or HSA/FSA?

We are approved and set up to accept insurance FSA/HSA cards. We can also send a detailed invoice that may be used for reimbursement for those with HSA/FSA accounts.

However, most insurance companies do not cover custom-made orthotics. If they do, they must be prescribed by a physician seen in person. Due to this, we do not currently work with any insurance companies.

How do I order for more than one person?

Each order submitted will be for one person/patient. You will notice on the checkout page that there is only one field for one patient name.

EXAMPLE: If you want to purchase two pairs in total but for two people then you will need to submit two separate orders with one pair only on each order.

If you are not fully happy with them by that time, you can return them for a full refund. We also offer free adjustments within those first 6 months.

We do offer a Recover/Refurbish Program if you need to replace/add on new top covers. Please click here to contact us about the Recover/Refurbish Program.

Are these truly custom, medical-grade orthotics?

Yes! Your orthotics are designed from the exact molds of your feet, for your specific foot health needs and specifications, making them truly custom only to you.

Nothing is pre-made or off-the-shelf. You get the same medical-grade materials process that we provide to doctors and other professionals in the orthotic industry.

How long will my orthotics last?

Bilt Labs custom orthotics typically last a minimum of 2-3 years. The orthotics themselves can and do last longer in most cases, however, most specialists recommend a remold after this timeframe as our feet continually change.

Keep in mind that the top cover material is a consumable item that will naturally wear out depending on how they are cared for and how heavy/lightly they are used. Therefore the top cover material wear out timeframe will vary for each person.

We do offer a Recover/Refurbish Program if you need to replace/add on new top covers. Please click here to contact us about the Recover/Refurbish Program.

Where are my orthotics made?

Unlike some of our competitors, your new custom orthotics are made here in the United States. We are located in Houston, Texas and all fabrication takes place in house.

Do you offer heel lifts or wedges?

Yes. Our advanced orthotic software and machinery allow us to incorporate and build in a heel lift/wedge right into your orthotic up to 1/2’’ or 12.7 mm (half an inch) for no additional cost.

Then you will no longer need a separate wedge or lift inside your shoe. The orthotic provides the needed arch support and has the heel lift built right in creating an exemplary one-piece orthotic for ultimate balance and comfort.

When ordering, just choose your orthotic type (Everyday/Active) and when you receive the kit, use the additional information section on the questionnaire to let us know the heel lift size and which foot it is needed for. Then we will do the rest.
(Need a lift larger than 1/2”? Please contact us.)

What are custom orthotics?

Custom orthotics are specially made foot devices that replace your shoe insoles to support and comfort your feet. They are crafted for you and no one else.

The orthotic itself is the base or plastic bottom. They are built to match the contours of your feet precisely and are designed for foot pain relief.

Then, the top cover material goes on top of your orthotics for cushioning. The orthotic types (material types) available are: Everyday, Active, and Classic.

Please view the Our Process video for a quick view of the custom orthotic process.

What is the total cost of the orthotics?

Please view our product page for the most current price. Pricing includes all shipping, taxes, and returns.

Will the orthotics fit in my shoes?

Yes. We take the extra steps of trimming and shaping them using the tracings or insoles provided when you complete your kit. This ensures a much more accurate fit. If you find that the top cover is a little long, it can easily be trimmed with scissors. We also offer free adjustments if needed.Note:Remove the old shoe inserts when wearing your new orthotics.

Can I switch my orthotics in and out between different shoes?

Each shoe type is unique along with how your feet fit in them. That is why we ask for the information of the shoe type you will be wearing them in so we can make the adjustments for that specific shoe.

We highly recommend that you get orthotics for each pair of shoes you regularly wear. If you plan on wearing them in multiple types of shoes, it is easiest if you order 3/4 length so that switching them around does not affect the shape.

If you prefer full length, you may need to trim the orthotics on your end (which doesn’t affect use) to find a happy medium between all your shoes as a size 10 will be different from brand to brand and is not exactly the same length or shape.
