  1. I got a pair of custom orthotics several years ago that served me well. Now
    they are falling apart. Does anybody know of a good place to have them
    refurbished?

    Thanks,

    Francis

    What means falling apart? If the basic structure, i.e. the form, is no
    longer keeping your foot aligned, then the orthotics are cooked and you
    will need to return to have another pair molded and built. I doubt the
    person that made the old pair still has the old form around and frankly
    I would want a new mold in case your foot shape has changed from running
    with the old orthotics.

    If you talking about the cover or some pieces of the external frill
    there are choices. Call the Person that made them, find a local shoe
    repair shop or ask at shoe(either running shoe or dress shoe) store, or
    look for a pedorthist. I have a mom and pop dress shoe store that has a
    pedorthist on staff.

  3. Check out www.footproducts.net. We can ship you an impression kit to
    create a new pair of custom orthotics. We have a team of podiatrists
    that ensure top quality.

    The process is very easy and we keep your molds on file for at least a
    year. This makes reordering extremely easy and fast.

  4. just for a year?

    This seems just plain useless unless you lose the orthotics. If you need to
    reorder within a year for any other reason, I'd say you got a bad orthotic
    maker. I've been wearing orthotics for over 20 years and about the only way
    keeping molds would have worked for me is if they are kept for at least 5
    years.
