Orthopedic Insoles

[juiced 0]

Hey guys, i have a foot problem. I have almost no arches in my feet (mostly my right one). They just roll inward when my weight is on them. It's starting to really bother the side-back of my foot. Anyway i'm supposed to get some new insoles but just thought i'd check with you guys incase any one reccommends any good support insoles.

Thanks

You have pro-nated feet

pro-nated feet

A great product is Superfeet

You can use the search here and find tons of topics on superfeet, pro-nated feet and flat-feet.

Here's a recent thread on in-soles:

oh thanks i used the search before and found superfeet stuff but i thought it was just insoles for comfort. Thanks alot

No problem. Superfeet should do the trick. If you have a really severe problem and have to go to custom orthotics, make sure you work with a podiatrist who has done custom orthotics for skates because they need to be thinner than the kind you wear in your shoes.

i use custom orthotics. Ive used superfeet, but why use a market product made for a type of player or foot, when you can get custom made to you. if you live in canada, insurance covers it.

[hockeymom 2]

Actually, if you live in Ontario, regular health coverage doesn't cover it. But many people have extra benefits through work that does cover orthotics.

I'm not sure what other provinces have in coverage.

And if they are not made for the skate you are skating in and trimmed properly they dont do anything at all.

Any NHL guy that has them has them trimmed to fit in the skate he is wearing to fit perfectly.

Next best is the Superfeet...

Were they made for the skate you are wearing??? If they werent then i can pretty much bet there is a couple spots that could be adjusted to work better and sit completely flat......Pull out the orthodic and look to see if there is any wear on the liner of the boot. If not then you had a good pair made and your lucky they fit well.

If there is some pulling or marking from the orthodic on the liner then they should be trimmed by a Proffesional to fit perfectly....

What podiatrists recommend is...

you tell them the skate you're buying so they can make up the orthotic to the exact specifications. (the guys who do skates on a regular basis know all the skate specs).

Once the orthotic is made, you bring the skate in to have the orthotic trimmed and fit. Then you go back to LHS to have the skate baked.

Thanks alot guys for the info, I live in Winnipeg so from what you guys said, the costs should be covered by insurance (if i read right). That's pretty sweet :D. I'm going to try and book an appointment with a podiatrist.

If $$'s are a concern, better check the health insurance first - in Ontario it is NOT covered; it is covered through many people's extra workplace insurance. I don't know if Manitoba insurance is different.

My work benefit plan does cover it and my daughter wears orthotics in her shoes. Although I was tempted to get orthotics for her skates this year, she felt the superfeet (which she's used for years) worked great and wanted to continue with them.

Always a good thing to see a podiatrist to check your pro-nated feet - maybe you'll need orthotics for your shoes...

Good luck with either option!

Yeah, i had to bring my skates and to my podiatrist and he kept it for a while...luckily this was during the summer so i didn't miss on alot of hockey. The only thing i don't like is that the 'footbed' material is a little slippery and cushiony for my liking. But other than that my skates feel great...my podiatrist also lifted up my heels a little bit to make it easier on my achilles tendons.

What skates will you have the insoles made for?

That's an important factor to consider, if it's a soon to be obselete model it might not be a good idea.

Have custom insoles for my Vector 10.0 skates, afterwards I've been thinking if CCM will continue to stick with the Vector line & if the fit will be the same for years to come?

Otherwise my "perfect" insoles will be useless. <_<

Made in the Vapor 10? What does that mean?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

HIs orthotics were made to fit in his Vapor 10s.

[Gongshow11 1]

Do you wear orthotics in your shoes? If not, then I would try Superfeet, but if you have orthotics in your shoes, then you would be smart to have them made for your skates as well. A reputable podiatrist or pedorthist won't sell you custom orthotics unless you really need them. I have had them in my shoes and skates for about 5 years and I could not walk or skate without them for long.

Hi,

I'm in Vancouver. Anyone know which podiatrist in town is good and experienced with Orthopedic for skates?

I don't want to go into one who don't even know how to deal with skates.

Many Thanks!!

Please PM me.
