APMA accepted. Shipped in 10 to 15 days.

Accepted by the American Podiatric Medical Association
Anyone can print "custom" on a box. The APMA Seal of Acceptance is a clinical standard, awarded to products that promote good foot health. Stride Soles is one of the only direct-to-consumer custom orthotics brands to earn it. It's the same recognition given to in-clinic orthotic devices.
Custom Insoles Used To Mean Appointments, Plaster Casts, And $600. Not Anymore.
The clinical process didn't change. Where it happens did. Here's what moving it from the clinic to your phone actually means.
Sub-Millimeter Scans, No Plaster Required
Your phone's camera maps the micro-contours of both feet to clinic-grade precision. Podiatrists rate the results as good as plaster casting, sometimes better.
No Appointments. No Travel. No Second Visit.
The intake, 3D scan, and gait video take 5 minutes at home. A clinic typically needs two to three in-person visits and weeks of lead time before your pair is even ordered.
$249 Instead Of $400 To $1,000
The same custom process, hand-made in Germany by a 3rd-generation podiatry clinic, without the clinic overhead. Free shipping. FSA/HSA eligible.
180 Days. Clinics Rarely Offer One.
Wear them, run in them, work in them. If your pair isn't right, we remake it, adjust it, or refund you in full, any time within 180 days.
The Same Gait Analysis A Podiatrist Runs In Clinic. Filmed In Your Hallway.
This is the step people assume requires an office visit. It doesn't. You film a short video of yourself walking, straight from your phone, and a Stride clinician studies it before your pair is designed. From that footage, they measure:
- How far your ankles roll inward or outward with each step
- Whether your knees track straight or collapse toward the midline
- How your hips compensate when your arches give way
That data sets the angle and stiffness of your corrective shell. It's the difference between padding the pain and removing its cause.
Get My Custom PairPodiatrists Compared Stride To Their Own In-Clinic Orthotics. Here's Their Verdict.
Not paid actors. Practicing clinicians who prescribe custom orthotics every week, who tested Stride Soles on their own feet before recommending them to patients.
"As Good As Plaster Cast Or Foam Box Orthotics. Maybe Better."
"When we prescribe insoles, we are balancing support, comfort, and changing the forces on the foot to relieve pain. Stride does that job very nicely. I have put plenty of walking and running miles on mine with very little discomfort and barely any break-in time. Compared to plaster casts or foam impression boxes — the traditional methods — these are just as good, maybe slightly better, at a genuinely competitive price point."
"We Scan Our Own Patients With Stride. The Insoles Arrive In Days."
"We chose Stride because we needed an orthotic company that could make truly customized orthotics that were both easy to scan and incredibly comfortable to wear. That is exactly what we found. We scan feet with our phones, film the patient walking, send it off, and in a few days the insoles arrive. We can even customize them for cleats or cycling shoes. Our patients' feet feel better, and that drives the clinical outcomes we want."
"I Have Tried Hundreds Of Insoles. Stride Checks The Boxes."
"I have tried hundreds of insoles. I am very overtly critical, very picky, and Stride checks the boxes. I am on my feet 14-to-16-hour days between surgery and being a busy dad, and Stride insoles definitely take the brunt off my foot pain and heel pain. They have been versatile enough to flip in and out of my dress shoes, tennis shoes, Hey Dudes, and Nikes. They work in everything I wear."
What "Custom" Actually Means In A Stride Pair
Heat-mold inserts and foam kits call themselves custom too. Here's the difference: every Stride pair is individually designed across all six of these dimensions, set by your 3D scan, your gait video, and your intake answers.
Custom Arch Support
Your shell is contoured to the exact height and shape of your arch, taken from the 3D scan. Not "low, medium, or high." Yours.
Shell Stiffness & Flex
A marathon runner and someone standing on concrete all day need different shells. Stiffness and energy return are tuned to your weight, activity, and gait.
Heel Cup Depth
Heel pain, instability, or a history of plantar fasciitis calls for a deeper, more stabilizing cup. Your scan and intake answers set exactly how deep.
Custom Fit For Your Shoes
The same pair can't fit a dress shoe and a hiking boot. Tell us what you wear — sneakers, dress shoes, work boots, even slippers — and the insole is shaped to fit them.
Orthopedic Corrections
Wedging and posting for overpronation, supination, and alignment issues our clinicians spot in your gait video. This is what makes it a corrective orthopedic device, not a cushion.
Left And Right, Designed Separately
Most people's feet differ in size, arch height, or wear pattern. Each insole in your pair is designed individually from its own scan, never mirrored.
Independent Clinician Evaluations
Clinicians receive product samples and are never compensated to submit evaluations.
A genuine improvement in how we deliver orthotic care
"My patients have loved using Stride. Some scan at the clinic, and some at home — either way, the product is great. The scanning accuracy is impressive, and the heel stabilization helps calm the irritated plantar fascia and supports tissue recovery in patients who have been stuck for months."
Ideal for clinicians who work outside the clinic
"As an on-the-go PT, I love how my patients can just scan their feet from anywhere. By redistributing pressure, Stride orthotics protect joints from overload and reduce discomfort — useful for patients with arthritis, bunion pain, or long-standing joint issues. Convenient to order and easy to live with."
A genuine shift in how we approach at-home foot pain care
"Stride Soles has changed how we manage foot pain with patients. The custom orthotics are effective, and the at-home scanning process means patients who would never make it to a podiatry appointment still get a tailored device. I have seen strong compliance and meaningful relief in patients with plantar fasciitis, overpronation, and post-run soreness."
Mirrors what I do in clinic, but makes it accessible from home
"When I first experienced the Stride process, I was genuinely impressed. The intake questions, the scanner, the gait analysis — all of it mirrors what I do in clinic. I can now remotely offer my patients custom orthotics that adhere to full podiatry standards, without the cost and scheduling barriers of an in-person visit."
Solves an acute need for clients avoiding a podiatry visit
"Stride Soles solves an acute need for my clients who want custom orthotics without the hassle of going to a podiatrist. I've been blown away by the quality and service of the Stride team, and I'm proud to call them a partner. The finished product holds up under real load, and I recommend them to golfers and recreational athletes alike."
Patients' knees, hips, and backs all feel better
"I fit a couple of patients with Stride Soles and they absolutely love them. It's made a big impact in their lives. Their knees feel better, their hips feel better, their backs feel better — and of course their feet feel better too. These have become part of how I manage conservative care for patients dealing with referred pain from foot mechanics."
