Modification Details

Removable Arch Fill

Designed with performance and versatility in mind, the Removable Arch Fill is a popular modification among weightlifters and high-intensity training athletes. This feature provides targeted arch support to help maintain structural integrity during short bursts of heavy loading—such as squats, deadlifts, and Olympic lifts—when the foot is most vulnerable to collapsing under pressure. By supporting the medial arch during peak effort, it enhances stability, alignment, and power transfer. The removable nature allows for adaptability, making the insert suitable for both training and everyday use.

Rigid Morton’s Extension

The Rigid Morton’s Extension is a temporary orthotic modification designed to limit motion at the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. Commonly prescribed for conditions such as hallux rigidus, turf toe, or post-operative recovery, this rigid extension supports the big toe by reducing flexion and offloading stress during gait. It is securely added to the distal edge of the orthotic and remains in place throughout the healing process. Once the patient has recovered, the extension can be professionally removed, and the orthotic will be refurbished to its original condition—restoring comfort and function without the need for a completely new device. The cost of this modification includes both installation and post-recovery removal and restoration.

Cast Comparison

The Cast Comparison service is designed to ensure precision, consistency, and clinical confidence when updating or replacing custom orthotics. Our Sole Supports technical support team creates positive molds of both the original and new casts, allowing for a detailed side-by-side evaluation. This process helps identify any anatomical changes, discrepancies, or improvements in foot posture and alignment over time. A trained technician then consults directly with the prescribing practitioner to discuss findings, ensure quality control, and confirm that the updated orthotic meets the patient’s current biomechanical needs. This collaborative review promotes optimal outcomes and supports continuity of care.
