Pain relief starts at your feet.
Auckland's specialist in custom foot orthotics and clinical gait analysis.
Your feet are unlike anyone else's
Hi, I'm Gary — Orthotist and Prosthetist at Auckland Orthotics. I've been assessing and treating patients since 1985, and in 2006 I completed a Master's in Rehabilitation specialising in Clinical Gait Analysis. In that time I've learned one thing above all else: no two feet are the same.
Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, 120 muscles and 7,800 nerves — and every one comes in a different shape, width, and arch profile. For many people, a quality off-the-shelf insole is all they need. When greater precision is called for, that's where we come in.
The American Podiatric Medical Association estimates that 75% of people experience foot pain at some point in their lives. Getting the right support early makes a real difference — because how your feet meet the ground has a direct influence on your knees, hips, and back.
Getting the right product for your feet
When foot pain strikes, it's natural to head to a pharmacy or sports store and try something off the shelf. There's nothing wrong with that — many of those products serve a genuine purpose. The key is choosing the right one for your specific feet, and that's where professional guidance pays off. With the right advice, you can select a product that truly fits your foot shape, arch type, and activity level.
Half of all adults say foot pain has restricted their activities in some way — walking, exercising, working, or playing with grandchildren. Research shows 39% of people would exercise more, and 41% would take part in more activities, if it weren't for foot pain. The good news is that with the right support, most people see a real improvement.
When does custom make sense?
Custom orthotics are worth considering when you want a precise, made-to-measure solution — whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a specific condition, or looking to improve your running pattern. They're designed and manufactured specifically for your feet, giving you support that's tailored to exactly how you move.
We start with a Full Gait Analysis: a comprehensive biomechanical assessment using digital gait analysis technology. You'll receive a detailed written report giving you a clear picture of how your feet and lower limbs are functioning. From there, we'll talk through the options and recommend the approach that's right for you. A fitting and follow-up appointment ensures everything is working exactly as intended.
