Why It Takes
21 Business Days
Custom medical manufacturing isn't fast, but it's worth it. We don't pull a product off a shelf—we build it from scratch specifically for your feet. Here are the 10 steps every single pair of orthotics goes through.
What counts as a "Business Day"?
Quick Note: We're humans, not robots! We work hard crafting your insoles Monday–Friday. We take weekends and holidays off to rest our own feet, just like you. The 21-day timeline includes only these working days.
1. Arrival At The Lab
The clock starts when your kit arrives. We check it into our secure system and send you a confirmation email immediately.
2. Getting In Line
We meticulously unpack and review your kit. Your paperwork and unique foam impressions are scanned into our secure tracking system so our entire medical team has access to your file.
3. 3D Laser Scanning
Using industrial-grade TechMed 3D scanners, we create a digital twin of your foot. This captures every contour, arch height, and heel width with micron-level precision.
4. Custom Design
Our specialists use FitFoot360 software to engineer your device. We account for your weight, activity, and specific pain points to create a design that offers optimal support.
5. Podiatrist Approved
Dr. Naughton, our board-certified podiatrist, personally reviews the design. This extra layer of medical oversight ensures the orthotic is biomechanically sound and safe for you.
6. The Build Set Up
Your approved design is transferred to FitMill360 software. This calculates the precise toolpaths needed for our machines to crave your custom shell.
7. The Build
The Freedom Machine Tool carves your orthotic from a solid block of medical-grade PolyPro. This ensures maximum durability compared to brittle 3D printed alternatives.
8. Hand-Finished Perfection
Our skilled technicians smooth every edge and hand-glue your top cover materials. We sculpt the final shape to ensure it fits seamlessly into your specific footwear.
9. Quality Control
Every single pair undergoes a rigorous inspection. We verify the arch height, heel width, and material specifications against your original order to guarantee performance.
10. Pack & Ship
Your custom orthotics are packed with care and shipped directly to your door. The 21-day journey is complete, and your journey to pain-free living begins.
