Footfriend - Othoses

Often called, orthotics, foot orthotics or foot orthoses, orthoses are a prescription insole which helps improve foot or leg function and can reduce pressure or stress on a problem area.

Here at Footfriend we provide expert treatment for musculoskeletal problems. Often these problems need a prescription insole for the best results. The purpose of the insole is to improve foot or leg function or to reduce pressure from a problem area.

We take two possible approaches depending on your problem and the specific requirements of your condition. We may either use a prefabricated insole / orthosis or have a fully bespoke orthoses made for you.

Prefabricated insoles / orthoses

We keep a stock of quality customisable prefabricated orthoses ready for patients who need an instant fix. They are also a good way of determining whether orthoses are going to be effective for your problem and also determining an effective prescription. We find they are excellent for children especially, as rapid growth may mean regular replacement of orthoses.

Custom made insoles / orthoses

This is a fully bespoke prescription insole made from casts of your own feet, as no two feet are alike. We feel the best results are obtained when something is specifically tailored to your needs. A major benefit of this type of orthosis is that they are transferable from shoe to shoe, reducing the need for multiple pairs. Custom insoles are also very durable.

Cushioning Insoles

We also stock a range of insoles for purely cushioning purposes. There is no inbuilt prescription in these insoles. They have a gel base layer and are topped with memory foam to conform better to your feet.

Cushioning insoles are great if you have painful arthritic joints which simply need cushioning, or to simply improve the comfort of specific footwear such as walking boots or trainers.

What next?

If you have pains in your feet or legs, orthoses may help you reduce these pains by improving the way you walk. Alternatively, you may simply need a cushioning insole to provide greater comfort. Make your life on your feet more pleasant. Let us get to the bottom of your pains and improve your comfort. Make an appointment today. We look forward to seeing you at our Beverley Clinic; serving Beverley, Hull and surrounding villages.

Patient Stories

I have been visiting Footfriend now for over 12 years. During this time, I have found the standard of care and service to be first class. As I get older, I find visiting a professional very superior to trying to care for my feet and toes myself.

“Since childhood I have suffered from foot problems and have been to several chiropodists with varying degrees of success. When my last chiropodist retired he recommended Damian Johns in Beverley. My wife and I have now been patients of Damian for over 10 years and we are very pleased with him. His practice provides a wide range of foot care including excellent footwear, foot supports and referrals for further specialized foot treatment. The reception staff are very welcoming and are able to offer appointments to suit patients lifestyle. I would recommend anyone with foot concerns to consult Damian for help and advice.”

“Can I just thank you & Vicky for being so nice today at my Mother's appointment. She was 'over the moon' with the service she received & even went shopping in Beverley & bought some new shoes! Thanks again, we will be back.”

Trudy Sinclair

“Damian and Vicky are fantastic and sorted out my very painful foot. I've used their services for quite some time and they never disappoint. The ladies at Reception are fab too and we always have a laugh. Highly recommended.”

Maria Bertocco

“I just wanted to say thank you for the competent and friendly treatment I received on Thursday last week. My feet haven't felt so comfortable in ages and the squidgy thing for between my toes is really very comfortable and will hopefully keep the corns at bay. It shouldn't be a surprise but it's amazing how much happier I feel with less painful and uncomfortable feet! Thanks once again.”

Gill Morrell, Skidby
