Foot orthoses are custom or pre-made devices designed to support, align, or correct foot structure, often addressing deformities, injuries, or chronic conditions like diabetic ulcers. They may also help redistribute pressure to improve circulation and aid in wound healing, particularly after surgery or in cases of poor blood flow.
These devices are typically regulated as medical devices, with classification and supply depending on jurisdiction and intended use—such as whether they are custom-fitted or off-the-shelf. Some may require professional fitting or prescription, while others can be purchased over-the-counter, depending on their design and clinical purpose.
