Plantar fasciitis pushes on ligaments connected to the arch and calcaneus. It’s more than just regular “heel pain.”
You may have plantar fasciitis if these are familiar:
Most people treat PF symptoms, but not the cause. Custom orthotics for plantar fasciitis keep pain from coming back by addressing the root problem directly.
Support the Arch. Reduce Heel Strain.
Plantar fasciitis isn’t caused by lack of cushioning, it’s caused by excess strain on the arch and heel.
Built from your 3D foot scan to match your unique foot anatomy.
Designed to reduce strain on the plantar fascia, especially during morning steps.
Fits comfortably inside most athletic and casual shoes without bulk or shifting.
Dr. Dominik Walter, Stride Head of Design
"After many years of development, we are finally able to bring our world class orthotic to you across the world. Stride offers the same in-clinic experience and medical oversight as if you’d see me in person here in Germany, without any of the hassle or cost.
Dr. Elsa Gould, DPT. Northwestern Medicine.
"As a doctor of physical therapy specializing in foot pathology, I now solely recommend Stride for my patients. Their insoles are superior in both medical quality and comfort to the in-clinic podiatric insoles my patients had previously been using..."
What will you achieve with Stride Soles?
Head of Podiatry, Stride Soles

Yes! And in many ways better. Just like in the clinic, you capture a 3D foot scan, record a gait analysis, and answer key questions about your foot health. You can even request a 1:1 consultation with a member of the Stride team. All this in just 5 minutes and a fraction of the cost.
Your information is then analyzed by our podiatrists who then craft your custom orthotics, designed to alleviate your pain and improve your health.
Don't take our word for it... Stride is Prescribed by doctors at top podiatry clinics worldwide.
Studies show 3D smartphone scans are more accurate & more effective at treating foot pain.
Plus without back and forth shipping, get your orthotics weeks faster!
After completing your purchase, we will send you detailed instructions to your email to begin the scan and gait recording process.
The entire process takes around 5 minutes. If you require additional assistance email us at team@stridesoles.com.
All steps can be completed with an iOS or Android Device.
We offer a 180 day satisfaction guarantee! Meaning we will redesign your orthotics until you are satisfied, or you can simply return the orthotics for a full refund.
Over 99% of patients love their orthotics, so rarely does this happen!
Yes of course! In the open-ended portion of the questionnaire please enter your prescription/information and we will build your orthotics accordingly.
You may also send any documents to team@stridesoles.com with subject "Podiatrist Review".
Finally, if you want an exact replica of your existing orthotics, we have the ability to provide that service for an additional $25 USD. Please write us at team@stridsoles.com for more information.
We currently accept HSA/FSA cards, as well as doctor notes indicating patient need.
Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not cover custom orthotics, so we do not partner with any.
For 80% of patients, relief is immediate as your arches get the needed support.
For others, relief is gradual over two weeks as your body gets used to the support and improved gait mechanics.
Note: At first, wearing custom orthotics may feel funny or even leave you a bit sore. This is completely normal and evidence that the orthotics are working -- and not just gel cushions from a department store.
Stride Soles will last 3-5 years, depending on patient weight and usage.
All custom orthotics come with a 3 year quality guarantee. If the product is damaged within that period, simply reach out to us and we will replace your orthotics, free of charge.
Stride provides custom orthotics for the following shoe types:
Stride Soles take an average of 3 business days to complete in our factory. Shipping takes an additional 5-7 days as we must clear customs from Germany.
