What True Correction Looks Like
Type 1: Pronating, Overpronating, Flat Foot, Fallen Arches
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.
Most people know if they are pronating. If you are not sure, you will also find relief, comfort, and performance in the Type 2.
Type 2: Neutral Arch
Type 2 is for additional arch support, weight distribution off pressure points, and foot stabilization for a more responsive and comfortable foot.
Type 3: Supination, High Arch, High Rigid Arch, Cavovarus Foot , Inner Knee arthritis
Corrective for a more flexible foot, better pivot, minimizes outer-foot stress fractures and ankle rolling helps open space at the inner knee to lesson the pain of arthritis.

Avoid the Custom-Orthotic Scam
- Priced MUCH too high.
- Custom orthotics don't necessarily offer better results than high-end pre-fabricated options like FootScientific. Research shows that pre-fabricated orthotics can be just as effective.
- An orthotic should correct your foot's alignment, not merely replicate its shape.
Enterprises like Good Feet or Foot Levelers have compelling marketing, but your best option is to get an orthotic that is specifically designed for your foot type. Avoid getting caught up in the expensive process of "custom" work. Instead, you can renew your much more affordable FootScientific orthotic every few months as needed, and you'll be happy with the results.
Orthopedic Surgeon, Rob Faux, M.D.,
Explains the Three Foot Types
- Superior to Custom Orthotics: Your foot falls comfortably into Arches® patented corrective shapes.
- Keeping it Honest and Simple: Arches® understands that choosing an orthotic based on your foot-type is much more important than choosing an orthotic based on activities engaged.
- Designed for Power: The Arches® corrected foot transfers power to large muscle groups and away from injury and pain-vulnerable small muscles and tendons like the plantar fascia.
- Correction AND comfort: Not a gushy gel that feels good for 30 seconds, neither a rigid corrective base that hurts for 30 months. Our cork amalgam keeps its corrective shape while conforming comfortably and flexibly to your foot.
True Correction
Three distinct designs balance and stabilize each of the three major foot types - ensuring a truly corrective fit for each patient.
High Quality Materials
The materials used surpass comfort of most custom footbeds while retaining corrective features. The primary material, a cork amalgam, holds its comfortable shape over time with extra cushion for the heel and ball of the foot.
Athletic Design
Initially created for professional athletes to maximize correction, comfort, and performance and has been found equally effective for the lay user.

FAQ'S
HOW DO I DETERMINE MY FOOT TYPE?
- Follow the instructions found at this link to determine your foot type. Have any additional questions? Call us at 801-666-6468 or email us at admin@footscientific.com.
SHOULD I REMOVE THE INSOLE THAT COMES WITH MY SHOE BEFORE ADDING A PAIR OF THE ARCHES ORTHOTICS?
- Yes, for maximum comfort we recommend removing the insole that comes in your shoe and replacing them with a pair of the Arches.
CAN I GET THE ORTHOTICS WET?
- Since the orthotics are made of cork material, we recommend avoiding exposure to water, as it could potentially affect their corrective properties and damage the material
WHAT ORTHOTIC SHOULD I GET IF I HAVE PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
- The plantar fascia can become stressed and inflamed by improper tension resulting from both the flat foot (Type 1) and the high ridged arch (Type 3). If you are not sure which type you are, Type 2 provides minor correction and stabilization that will be helpful.
