Custom Orthotics & Insoles in Sidcup
Insoles designed around your feet. Our specialist podiatrists assess how you stand and move, then prescribe custom orthotics to ease pain, support your feet and help you move comfortably.
MADE FOR YOUR FEET
Custom orthotics in Sidcup
Orthotics are specially designed insoles that sit inside your shoes to support your feet, improve the way you move and reduce strain on your joints and muscles. At Sidcup Foot Clinic, our custom orthotics in Sidcup are prescribed by a specialist podiatrist after a thorough biomechanical assessment, so they are designed for your feet and your needs.
Unlike generic insoles, custom orthotic insoles are made to match the shape of your feet and how you walk, helping to treat the cause of the problem and not just the symptoms.
How can custom orthotics help?
Orthotics are often recommended for people with:
- Heel pain, including plantar fasciitis
- Flat feet or fallen arches, and high arches
- Pain in the ball of the foot, such as metatarsalgia
- Bunions and toe problems
- Shin, knee, hip or lower back pain linked to how the feet move
- Sports and overuse injuries
- Arthritis or joints that need extra support
- Recurring corns and callus caused by pressure
How we make your orthotics
01
Detailed assessment
Your podiatrist reviews your history and symptoms, examines your feet, and assesses how you stand and walk to understand what is causing your discomfort.
02
Capturing your foot shape
We take a precise record of your feet so that your orthotics are made specifically for the shape and the way you move.
03
Design and manufacture
Your orthotics are designed to your prescription, with the support, cushioning and correction your feet need.
04
Fitting and review
We check the fit in your shoes, show you how to build up wear, and review how they are working so adjustments can be made if needed.

Frequently asked questions
Off-the-shelf insoles come in standard shapes and sizes, and can help some people. Custom orthotics are prescribed after an assessment and made to match your feet and the way you move, so they can be tailored to your specific needs.
Yes. An assessment lets your podiatrist find the cause of your problem and decide whether orthotics are the right treatment, and what type will help you most.
In most cases, yes. Bring the shoes you wear most to your appointment so we can check the fit. Shoes with a removable insole and a little extra depth usually work best.
It is normal for orthotics to feel different when you first wear them. We will show you how to build up wear gradually, and you can contact us if you have any concerns.
This depends on how often you wear them, your activity levels and the type of orthotic. Your podiatrist will review them with you and let you know when they may need checking or replacing.
Please contact us for details of fees. We are happy to explain the options before you decide.
