This is the 2ft Custom made Orthotic form.
This award winning design controls how your foot rolls as you walk. The way your foot rolls through the compass points as you walk is critical to your body health. If the foundation of your skeletal frame (your feet) are unstable your whole bodies skeletal frame is unstable. Instability cause the muscles of your feet, legs and lower back to over compensate, this causes wear at the joints and nerves to be pinched. Your walk goes from perfectly normal to a limping form. The damage to your body only gets worse with time.
A custom made 2ft Orthotic stabilises your feet and causes them to roll correctly through the walking gait. Your feet become a stable foundation, your posture immediately improves and in no time at all there is a bounce in your walk once more. Try on a test pair at one of our outlets and you will immediately feel the change. Once customised you will wonder how you lived and walked without them. They truly are a technological marvel.
Sturdy EVA Co-polymer Form
Your Orthotic form is constructed using the very best quality in EVA plastics technology.
EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is the co-polymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. It's an extremely elastic material that can be sintered to form a porous material similar to rubber, yet with excellent toughness.
2ft Orthotics are so tough that it is not unusual for them to last more than 5 years without any maintenance. The EVA maintains is springiness throughout its functional life span giving you a consistent spring in every step you take.Anti-Torsion Plate
Your 2ft Orthotic has an inbuilt Anti Torsion Plate. (stainless steel fused into the co-polymer EVA)
This innovative approach to stabilization of the mid section of the Orthotic, ensures a controlled & even inward/outward roll in your foots gait cycle. This exclusive feature creates varying zones of resistance across the Orthotic which then acts as a active control mechanism. This innovation balances the roll of your foot as it moves from heel strike to toe off.
2ft Orthotic EVA Cover
The changeable lining of your 2ft Orthotic is made from EVA foam
This outstanding material has some exceptional properties. These include:
vibration and impact absorption / weather / chemical, oil, and fuel spill, splash resistances / thermal insulation resilience / buoyancy and low-water absorption / long life / mold resistance /quickly recovers from compression'sActive Ventilation Cells
2ft custom Orthotics have inbuilt ventilation cells
2ft active ventilation cells work like miniature bellows that gently pump air around your forefoot and toes. The air gently and unnoticeably circulates through your shoes, under your feet and across your toes as you walk assisting in keeping your feet dry and fresh. This unique system is another 2ft innovation.
Many foot deformities are the cause of increased perspiration and foot odour. This gentle flow of air assists in reducing if not eliminating perspiration that can be the cause other unwanted symptoms such as Fungal growths & Tinea Pedis (Athletes foot).3/4 Length Form
The 3/4 Length form of your 2ft Orthotic allows it to fit approx. (93%) of all shoes.
This means you will not be required to change your shoes to wear your custom made 2ft Orthotic.
Other form features include;
The Orthotic form splays at the front giving support across the ball of your foot with the toe arches bridging the end of the form making for a comfortable fit and wearing experience.
The side of the form splay outward creating a friction point between the side of your shoe which makes the form resistant to moving laterally.Customised Metatarsal Support
The customized metatarsal (forefoot arch) support is a key feature of your 2ft Orthotic.
Your forefoot arch is a critical component of the correct function of your foot, without it you lose the spring in your step and calluses quickly form on the ball of your foot making walking very uncomfortable.
The 2ft customized metatarsal (forefoot arch) will lift & re-align your forefoot arch and will make all the difference to your walking and standing wellbeing. You will be amazed at the comfort you feel when you try one on for yourself.Customised Longitudinal Support
The Longitudinal Arch (inside arch) is the keystone of your foot.
The importance of strengthening and realigning the key arch cannot be underestimated. Your 2ft Orthotic is designed to be customized and adjusted over time to gently reshape your foot into the form nature intended.
Pads are added or removed under the soft cover to the Longitudinal arch support which reshapes & re-aligns each of your feet based on each foots particular issues. These pads ensure comfort while performing regulated change to the foots structure.Customised Lateral Support
The customized lateral (outside arch) is the forgotten child of your foot.
Your 2ft customized Orthotic supports the lateral arch which controls the outward roll (supination) of your foot as you walk. This is the third arch in the triangle of arches that form the function of your foot. This little-known arch is often forgotten yet it is crucial to your walking comfort.
The 2ft customized lateral support is adjusted with pads that are added or removed under the soft cover to the Lateral arch support which reshapes & re-aligns each of your feet based on each foots particular issues. These pads ensure comfort while performing regulated change of the foots structure.The 2ft Heel Cup
The Heel Cup of a 2ft Custom Made Orthotic manages heel strike control & heel bounce
Heel strike control & heel bounce are key factors in a normal walking and running gait. The heel cup gently cradles your heels and redirects the downward forces of gravity in a manner that also relieves pressure on the Plantar Fascia where it connects to the Periosteum (a thin layer that covers bone) of your Calcaneus (heel bone) where heel spurs form.
Heel spurs are a symptom of deeper foot issues such as Plantar Fasciitis; they can be caused by over active Osteoblasts, (bone making cells) and cause significant heel pain.Moisture Barrier
The 2ft Moisture barrier captures any excessive perspiration from under the forefoot arch. The forefoot moisture barrier allows excessive perspiration to evaporate with the assistance of the 2ft active ventilation system. Excessive dampness under the toes can be a catalyst for fungal infections.

This unique system is another 2ft innovation. 2ft custom Orthotics active ventilation ducts gently pass air across your foot as you walk. The 2ft active ventilation cells below work like miniature bellows that gently pump air through the ducts and around your forefoot and toes. The air gently circulates through your shoes, under your feet and across your toes as you walk and run assisting in keeping your feet dry and fresh.
Many foot deformities are the cause of increased perspiration and foot odor. This gentle flow of air assists in reducing if not eliminating perspiration that can be the cause other unwanted symptoms such as Fungal growths & Tinea Pedis (Athletes foot).Sturdy EVA Co-polymer Form
