Arch Supports via the Postal Service??

We provide quality arch supports through the Postal Service. There are several styles that are available. Below they are listed separately. There are custom fabricated arch supports, silicone supports and off the shelf arch supports. They each have a specific usage and place. Most physicians simply do not know exactly which type of support is needed. Because there are so many difficult anomalies of foot problems, a simple arch support usually does not solve the problem. Arch supports must be sold by the pair to prevent any height problems between the two feet that will cause back pain. Opened toe shoes and high heel shoes are not acceptable for any arch supports. Sometimes people will need a half size larger shoe to accommodate their inserts. When you receive the new supports, there is a break in period. Generally you will start wearing the inserts only 1 hour the first day and incrementally build up tolerance from there by adding one hour additionally each day until the tenth day when you will have worn them for 10 hours.

Custom Arch Supports are for the special problems that occur with feet. Generally speaking, if you have always had trouble finding a pair of shoes to wear or your feet are an odd size such as a "B, E or AA", you will need custom arch supports. Relax, they aren't as expensive as you may have found. We are able to mail you impression boxes along with complete instructions on how to create impressions through UPS and the Postal Service. These are what a Podiatrist use and sends to our offices for us to custom fabricate.  The Podiatrist then receives them back from us and charges his price. That is what pays his bills and keeps his kids in new Lexus automobiles. Our custom fabricated arch supports run only $210.00 per pair plus taxes. That's plus shipping on UPS from our office to your home. A pair usually last between 12-48 months depending on your weight and the amount of impact they receive. Includes a full 90 day warranty against all manufacturing defects.

Silicone Supports are prefabricated inserts that come in specific shoe sizes. These are particularly useful for any type of heel discomfort or scar tissues on the sole of the foot. They are not available for odd widths or lengths. They are easy to clean and long lasting. They will usually last for 12-24 months. These sell for $94.00 per pair plus taxes. That includes shipping on UPS from our office to your home. Includes a full 30 day manufacturers warranty.

As with Custom Arch Supports, Off the Shelf Supports are a lot faster in delivery. Unfortunately, they do not come in very large or very small sizes nor odd widths. These inserts also last usually between 1-3  months per pair. The advantage of these over the Custom Arch Supports is the price- $98.99 per 3 pair plus tax. That's plus shipping from our office directly  to your house on UPS.
