Why Choose Swan Podiatry and Orthotics?

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our orthotics start with a comprehensive biomechanical assessment, followed by advanced 3D scanning to capture the precise contours of your feet. From there, we design orthotics that deliver targeted support where you need it most.


Unique Materials for Real Results

Unlike traditional inserts, our orthotics are built with a semi-rigid, 3D-printed material shell. This innovative structure provides a perfect balance between stability and flexibility. It helps reduce foot fatigue, correct alignment issues and alleviate chronic pain without compromising comfort.

Who Can Benefit from Orthotics?

If you’re dealing with discomfort or pain in your feet, knees, hips or lower back, custom orthotics could be the solution. Many people don’t realise their symptoms stem from poor foot mechanics.


Address the Root of the Problem

We design orthotics to treat a wide range of conditions including:


  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Flat feet or fallen arches
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Bunions
  • Metatarsalgia
  • Heel spurs
  • Overpronation
  • Knee and lower back pain due to poor foot alignment


We help everyone from school-aged children to seniors, ensuring the orthotic is appropriate for their activity level, foot structure and lifestyle.

Types of Orthotics We Offer

At Swan Podiatry and Orthotics, we offer both semi-custom and fully customised orthotic devices. Each style has its advantages, and we’ll guide you to the right option during your appointment.


Full-Custom Orthotics

These are tailored entirely to your unique foot shape using our precise 3D scanning technology. Full-custom orthotics are ideal for complex foot issues or patients with a history of ongoing discomfort. They’re designed for maximum alignment correction and biomechanical support.


Semi-Custom Orthotics

Semi-custom orthotics are made using the same 3D-printed shell, but with moderate adjustments based on foot type and gait. They’re an excellent option for less severe conditions, budget-conscious patients or those looking for preventative support.


Our 4-Step Custom Orthotics Process

We’ve created a simple, effective process to get you the right support quickly with orthotics Dawrin locals depend on. 


Step 1: Biomechanical Assessment

Your journey starts with a full biomechanical evaluation. We examine how you walk, stand and move. We identify any irregularities or alignment issues that may be contributing to discomfort.


Step 2: 3D Foot Scanning

We capture your exact foot shape using cutting-edge 3D scanning technology. This digital scan ensures unparalleled accuracy and a truly tailored fit—far beyond what you’ll find in off-the-shelf products.


Step 3: Custom Orthotic Design

Your orthotics are designed using advanced software, allowing us to model precise contours and support points. Whether you need correction for flat feet, pressure redistribution or arch support, we craft a device that works with your foot—not against it.


Step 4: Fitting and Follow-Up

Once your orthotics are ready, we conduct a fitting session to ensure they’re working effectively. We also schedule a follow-up appointment if needed to make any adjustments. Our goal is to ensure long-term comfort and performance.

  • What is a custom orthotic?

    A custom orthotic is a specially made device to go within your shoe to improve the function of your foot and ankle. The orthotic is designed to alter the current mechanics and alignment to relieve excess stress and strain on the lower leg and foot. The orthotic is ‘custom-made’ as the shape of the orthotic is made to the precise measurements of your foot with the use of a 3D scanner and exact correction added for exactly what each of your feet needs.

  • What are the different types of orthotics?

    Mostly, we use either semi-custom or full-custom ‘functional’ orthotics. The semi-custom orthotics are tailored to your feet and are great for growing kids or adults who need only a mild amount of correction or support. Full-custom orthotics are made to the exact measurements of your feet using the 3D scanner and are great for people who require a larger amount of control to their feet or have a specific area that needs offloading. Both are made from a semi-rigid 3D-printed material shell.


    Mainly used in a hospital setting, soft ‘accommodative’ custom orthotics can be used to deflect pressure and spread load away from high-pressure areas or wounds.

  • What shoes will my orthotics fit into?

    You will need a shoe that has a removable insole and, ideally, can be fastened or adjusted to the size of your foot (e.g. laces). Without the removable insole, the orthotic may take up too much space within the shoe. Some orthotics can be specifically designed to fit semi-enclosed sandals and slip-on shoes or boots. Orthotics are not limited to use in just one pair of shoes and are designed to be transferred between shoes. However, if you want to transfer between runners and a more pointed pair of shoes, they may not fit in the narrower ones. Please bring in all the shoes you want to wear them with, and we will do our best to accommodate.

  • Do I have to wear my orthotics all the time?

    The more you are in them, the more they will help you; wearing them more at the beginning when your pain is improving is recommended. You should wear your orthotics as much as possible and should always wear them during activities that cause pain in the first place, i.e., work or sports. That said, you do not necessarily have to wear them 100% of the time.

  • Will the orthotics hurt my feet?

    Your orthotics should never cause you pain, although they may feel uncomfortable to begin with. During the initial two weeks of wearing the orthotics there will be a small transition period where your feet aren’t used to them and they are not yet comfortable, this is why we encourage wearing them in gradually. After this, you should not really notice them in your shoes.

  • How long will the orthotics last?

    Usually, it takes five years for a semi-rigid orthotic, but maybe only one to two years if it is made of a softer EVA. This does, however, depend on a few factors, such as how much the orthotic is used, what material it is made of and how much force or stress the person is putting through the orthotic. Children may outgrow the orthotics after approximately twelve-eighteen months. It is best to have your orthotics checked yearly to ensure they are still fitting correctly and are still providing adequate correction.
