I work in carbon fiber.  It's light, strong, and maintains a stiffness based on thickness that if tweaked juuuust right, provides a spring of energy return at the moment the proximal tibia advances over the toes.  It's not toe-off  i'm concerned with, it's the assistance of the body's COG to get forward.  By the time the heel is off the gound is too late.  But if I can help the heel to rise from the return of energy stored by pronation in the mid-foot, my mission has been accomplished.
Guess what, I do and it is.  Try any of these styles and experience what comfort really is.

Welcome to the Future of Orthotics

These orthotics are all you need.  I mean really, in 10 years i've made thousands of orthotics and 80% had these attributes: 4 degrees of intrinsic hindfoot post, a neutral arch, and 2 degrees of forefoot post.  What changed? top cover materials, amounts, and shapes.
I've developed these orthotics to satisfy the people who are demanding of quality, but want a device that will WORK and LAST.

The Travail style came about because as a younger man, I used to have a job that required me to stand 12 hours a day on hard marble floors.  I used to stuff rolled up socks in my arches to combat the pain from plantar fasciitis!  My comfort was truly dictated by the amount of cushion in my shoe.  In 1999 I became a Physical Therapist.  I poured myself into the specialty of the foot and ankle and in 2001, became a Certified Pedorthist.  I've made countless custom foot orthotics and braces using every method imaginable.  Once I found a combination that worked, I vowed to replicate it in an orthotic that could be made without needing a cast of a foot.

Why no cast?  Simply put, I think it's unecessary for the majority of people with foot and ankle concerns.  In my opinion, and based on the literature, if a person has more than 8 degrees of forefoot varus or a  unique shaped foot, a cast is in order.  But most folks require a long lasting device with good arch support, high quality materials, and expert fabrication.

The comfort orthotics I create have been used by hundreds of persons all over the world.  They last around 10 years.  They help people heal.  They keep people from surgery.  They help you perform your sport.  They just plain feel good.
