Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics at SoleScience are designed for personalized comfort and biomechanical support. Using advanced gait analysis and patient feedback, our pedorthists create devices that reduce tissue stress without unnecessary alignment corrections. Each pair is adjustable and backed by a comfort guarantee, ensuring long-term usability and satisfaction for conditions ranging from arthritis to diabetes-related foot issues.

Gait Analysis

Our GAiT Profile combines gait analysis with individual biomechanical testing to identify movement imbalances. This assessment informs footwear choices, orthotic design, and injury prevention strategies. By analyzing foot pressure, arch type, and muscle dynamics, we provide tailored recommendations to improve mobility and reduce injury risk for runners and everyday patients alike.

Footwear Education

SoleScience offers expert guidance on choosing footwear suited to individual foot mechanics. Through arch testing and activity-specific recommendations, we help patients avoid injury-causing mismatches. Our pedorthists evaluate heel-to-toe fit, cushioning needs, and stability features, ensuring shoes complement orthotic therapy or serve as standalone solutions for long-term foot health.

Compression Stockings

Compression therapy at SoleScience addresses venous insufficiency, swelling, and post-surgical recovery. We fit graduated compression stockings that improve circulation and reduce leg fatigue. Our specialists ensure proper sizing and pressure gradients to manage conditions like varicose veins while maintaining comfort for daily wear in both medical and active lifestyles.

Run Clinics

Our run clinics blend injury prevention with performance training for all skill levels. Expert-led programs incorporate mobility drills, gait retraining, and foot-strengthening exercises. Participants receive personalized coaching and access to multidisciplinary professionals, including physiotherapists and dietitians, to optimize running mechanics and reduce long-term injury risks through evidence-based training philosophies.

Questions

How do I know if I need custom orthotics?

If foot pain persists despite proper footwear or affects daily activities, custom orthotics may help. Our pedorthists assess whether your discomfort stems from biomechanical issues or requires alternative treatments like footwear changes or physical therapy.

What makes SoleScience orthotics different?

Our orthotics prioritize comfort over rigid alignment, using a gradual support approach. We offer adjustments until perfect fit is achieved, backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee, ensuring long-lasting relief tailored to individual movement patterns.

How does gait analysis improve foot health?

GAiT Profile testing identifies movement imbalances and footwear mismatches. This analysis informs personalized solutions that prevent injuries, improve mobility, and address specific conditions like plantar fasciitis or knee osteoarthritis through biomechanical corrections.

Can orthotics cure foot problems permanently?

Orthotics manage symptoms rather than cure conditions. For acute injuries, they aid recovery and weaning. Chronic conditions like arthritis require long-term use to maintain comfort and mobility through pressure redistribution and joint force reduction.

What footwear options work best with orthotics?

Proper footwear depends on arch type and activity. High arches need cushioning, while low arches benefit from stability features. Our pedorthists perform comprehensive fittings, ensuring shoes complement orthotics without causing pressure points or alignment issues.

Do you offer services for athletes and runners?

Our run clinics combine injury prevention with performance training. Pedorthists address biomechanical inefficiencies through custom orthotics, gait retraining, and footwear optimization, helping athletes maintain activity levels while minimizing long-term injury risks.

If your looking for reviews on where to book an appointment this is the place. Was able to get me in before Christmas and stayed late last night for me. Over 20 years experience in the field, you can tell he loves his job and ACTUALLY cares about his clients. I am not a fan of any doctors office and he made me feel super comfortable. He also waived a fee for me because of scheduling issues that occurred due to covid restrictions...Colin is an absolute beauty! GO SEE HIM! Honestly best in the city by far.

I placed an order with them on Tuesday for a pair of Brooks. They didn't have my shoes in the narrow but had the wide. They called me and were super helpful and amazing. They included inserts to help with the extra width. Yesterday they were personally delivered to me and they fit awesome! Thank you so much.

After neglecting my foot and heel pain for too long I visited Sole Science who were recommended by a friend. Dr. Dombroski and the entire Sole Science team provided the front to back service and product I was searching for. A 5 Star experience all the way. I would highly recommend Sole Science for all your happy feet needs! I love my new shoes:)

Thank you for the great service and taking the time to ensure my young son felt comfortable. Jeff Walker was great not only in dealing with my child but making sure I was informed on his assessment, next steps and follow up. HIGHLY recommend the team!

Knowledgeable staff and great products. I bought a pair of shoes a couple of weeks ago and I ended up going back today to buy a second pair for work. My feet feel so much better now that I'm wearing the fit of shoes that my feet needed! I'll definitely be going back when these pairs need to be replaced

Fantastic service. Very professional and to the point. The staff was very informed and informative! I was in and out in under a half hour for both my assessment and getting ky orthotics dispensed. I was given stretches to do, even a new one I hadn't tried. My foot pain has decreased a ton with the stretching and I believe it will disappear with the orthotic insoles they designed for me in a week!
