Arches Type 3 Overview
Type 1 is corrective for proper arch support: increasing comfort, promoting performance, and preventing injuries. Issues common to flat feet, such as plantar fasciitis, ankle and knee pain, or pain from undue pressure on the inside of the foot are relieved.
Type 2 is for additional arch support, weight distribution off pressure points, and foot stabilization for a more responsive and comfortable foot.
Corrective for a more flexible foot, better pivot, minimizes outer-foot stress fractures and ankle rolling, helps open space at the inner knee to lessen the pain of arthritis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers to help you find the right solution

Yes! Wedge supports are eligible for purchase using HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds.

No, wedges are designed specifically for Type 1 (flat feet/pronation) and Type 3 (high arch/supination) orthotics. Type 2 orthotics are for neutral arches and don't require additional correction.

Wedges are simple, self-explanatory additions placed under the heel portion of your orthotic. They enhance the correction by providing additional posting. Full instructions are included with your wedge purchase.

Our Type 1 and Type 3 orthotics work exceptionally well for most people. However, if you have extreme pronation or supination, or if you've tried our standard orthotics and feel you need more aggressive correction, wedges may help. These are standardized to fit all FootScientific orthotic sizes.

Wedge supports are designed for people with extremely flat feet (Type 1 users) or extremely high arches (Type 3 users) who need additional correction beyond what our standard orthotics provide. If you have a pronounced inward or outward tilt of the heel, wedges can enhance the medial or lateral posting built into our Type 1 and Type 3 orthotics.
