FREE Foot Evaluation • No Obligation • Certified, Licensed Pedorthists
Custom Orthotics Made for Your Feet
Your feet aren’t exactly like anyone else’s. Your orthotics shouldn’t be either. At The FootLab, we don’t simply pull an insert off a shelf and hope it works. We evaluate how you stand, how you walk, your footwear, your activities and the problems you’re experiencing. We then use that information to create custom orthotics specifically for you.
Whether you’re walking around Minneapolis, running the Chain of Lakes, spending long days on your feet at work or simply trying to get through the day more comfortably, we’ll help determine whether custom orthotics may be right for you.
What Happens During Your FREE Foot Evaluation?
Your visit starts with a conversation—not a sales pitch. During your free evaluation, we’ll:
- Discuss your foot pain and concerns
- Evaluate your stance and foot alignment
- Watch how you walk
- Examine your shoes and wear patterns
- Talk about work, sports and everyday activities
- Explain what we’re seeing
- Discuss whether custom orthotics could help
There’s no obligation to purchase, schedule an evaluation.
Custom Orthotics in About One Hour
One of the biggest differences between The FootLab and many traditional orthotic providers is that we fabricate our custom orthotics right here at our White Bear Lake location. There’s no need to send measurements or molds to an outside laboratory and wait weeks for your orthotics to arrive.
Your evaluation, fitting and fabrication can usually be completed during the same visit—in approximately one hour. You leave with your orthotics instead of waiting for them.
Foot Problems Custom Orthotics May Help
Custom orthotics can help address abnormal foot mechanics, redistribute pressure and provide support where your feet need it.
People visit The FootLab for help with problems including:
Plantar Fasciitis. Heel and arch pain associated with plantar fascia irritation.
Pronation. Excessive inward rolling of the foot while standing, walking or running.
Flat Feet. Low or collapsed arches that can affect alignment and movement.
High Arches and Supination. Feet that place excessive pressure along the outside of the foot.
Metatarsalgia. Pain and pressure in the ball of the foot.
Morton’s Neuroma. Forefoot discomfort that can include burning, tingling or numbness.
Hallux Rigidus. Pain and limited movement around the big-toe joint.
Achilles Tendon Discomfort. Foot mechanics can sometimes contribute to excessive stress through the Achilles tendon.
Shin and Knee Pain. Poor foot mechanics can affect alignment farther up the kinetic chain.
Not every type of foot pain requires custom orthotics. That’s one reason we recommend starting with a free evaluation.
Custom Orthotics for Minneapolis Runners and Walkers
Minneapolis is a great city for staying active—but miles add up. Whether you’re running around Bde Maka Ska, walking Lake Harriet, training along the Mississippi River trails or simply putting in thousands of steps every day, repetitive stress can expose problems with foot mechanics.
Your FootLab evaluation considers more than the shape of your foot. We also look at how you move, the footwear you’re using and the activity you intend to do. Custom orthotics can then be designed to work with your shoes and your lifestyle.
Custom Orthotics for People Who Work on Their Feet
You don’t have to be an athlete to put serious stress on your feet. Healthcare workers, teachers, construction workers, tradespeople, restaurant employees, retail workers and others may spend most of their workday standing or walking.
Hours on hard surfaces can magnify existing foot problems. At The FootLab, we can evaluate both your feet and your work footwear to determine what type of support makes sense for the environment you work in. Bring the shoes or boots you wear most often to your appointment.
