Custom Orthotics

Foot Levelers, Inc. is the name of our company. We create custom made Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers, Sandalthotics® and Shoethotics® which are scientifically designed for the individual’s unique postural problems. A Spinal Pelvic Stabilizer is inserted into a shoe or boot. A Sandalthotic is a sandal with a custom-made orthotic built right in. A Shoethotic is a custom-made orthotic and shoe combination. Our products are called “spinal pelvic stabilizers” because that’s what they do— help stabilize the spine and pelvic area by balancing the feet. We make many different styles of stabilizers, each of which is distinguished by its unique features. Ask your healthcare professional which Stabilizer is right for you.

Foot Levelers sells our products directly and exclusively to licensed health professionals. Our products are designed to work with the treatments/instruction provided by health professionals.

When your personal health is involved, nothing can or should take the place of a consultation with a licensed healthcare professional. Any questions you have about your health should be directed to your doctor or other health professional.

Yes, if the shoes are appropriate for that style of stabilizer. Foot Levelers are most effective when used in shoes with good construction, fit, and condition. Your stabilizers are also a guide in assuring new shoes fit well. If a shoe can’t accommodate a stabilizer which has been custom made for your foot, then that shoe is not the proper size for you.

Your stabilizers represent an investment in your good health, and should be treated accordingly. It is advisable to remove them from your shoes at night, especially if your feet perspire excessively, or if your footwear gets wet. Let them and your shoes dry completely before wearing them again. Surface dirt can be removed with a damp cloth as needed. Make sure to dry the surface thoroughly, even on moisture-resistant styles. Dot fasteners, especially, must be kept free of dirt and debris for maximum effectiveness.

Like wearing eyeglasses, once a need for orthotic support is recognized, most people continue to benefit from wearing stabilizers. Also, your specific prescription for glasses may change to reflect the way your body changes over time. For this same reason, we recommend an annual re exam to confirm that your Foot Levelers are still providing the best support for you.

Some people experience a mild discomfort during initial break-in. Break-in time can take up to two weeks in some cases, but usually much less time for most people. If your feet are uncomfortable, remove the orthotics for about half an hour, then re-insert. The golf ball exercise is a simple way to speed the adaptation process. Sit with a golf ball under your bare foot. Roll the ball with as much pressure as is comfortable from the front of your foot to the back, and along the arches and outer edges. Do this for up to five minutes per foot, twice a day, to speed adaptation. If discomfort persists beyond two weeks, call the health care professional who prescribed your orthotics.
