Orthotics are inserts put into a shoe to improve comfort, and prevent or treat medical injuries.
When your feet aren't supported, your body pays the price. Orthotics are a medically recognized treatment for collapsed arches, foot pain, neuromas, plantar fasciitis, traumatic injury, circulation issues, diabetic symptoms, congenital conditions, body alignment, and more. Orthotics can be made for any type of shoe- ice skates, cross country boots, alpine boots, dress shoes, work shoes, sandals.
Whether you're treating an injury, preventing an injury, or just trying to be comfortable, Ski Tek Orthotics can help.
Ski Tek is a nationally-renowned source for shoe fitting and expert foot care.
We regularly collaborate with orthopedic surgeons to work with clients few others can help, including amputees. Our custom orthotics offer you unbeatable support, world class craftsmanship, and a beautiful finish.
Most people don't know that walking on hard surfaces with flat insoles is the cause of many foot problems. The natural environment for human feet is soft ground, not concrete and thin carpet. Ours orthotics imitate the natural earth- grass, dirt, and sand- by using a proprietary mix of soft cork, foam, and gel. Most prescription orthotics are 3/4 length, hard plastic, and painful- as unnatural as walking on cement all day. Our orthotics are custom molded to your feet specifically.
We have a team of board certified Pedorthists on staff who will **personally design a footbed** that balances and stabilizes you perfectly.
After your orthotics are ready, we will **custom fit to your shoes, boots, ski boots, cycling or cross country shoes, hockey skates, golf shoes, work boots ...
They'll fit like a glove, while increasing your comfort and performance.
Pedorthics is an under-recognized profession. But at Ski Tek, it's our obsession.
We are trained to design, manufacture, and modify footwear and foot orthoses to alleviate problems caused by disease, overuse, congenital condition, or injury. We analyze your biomechanics, review complicated health factors like circulation and skin integrity, then formulate treatment plans that are perfect for your life and activities.
There are around 1000 certified Pedorthists in the US, but there's need for thousands more. There's an epidemic of collapsed arches in the US, due to life lived in bad shoes on concrete and unnatural surfaces. And in a valley full of adventurers, injuries are incredibly common. Pedorthists are more important than ever.
