Unlike other generic orthotics, Orthotic Active custom makes 3D printed insoles that are unique to the needs of the individual. As a track athlete, I have rather specific running needs. In particular, I needed the insoles to work both in my regular shoes and in my track shoes. Being a runner, everything is linear, and when 0.1s in a race matters, creating the most efficient technique is extremely important. Orthotic Active can custom create insoles that refine themselves to what you need and cut out everything you don’t. The ability to have custom made insoles means they can be applied to any sport, lifestyle, foot, and shoe. I wear them in my distance runners and track trainers to maintain consistency from shoe to shoe.

It was good to find an inner sole that wasn’t quite as bulky. Having the right orthotic gives you not only comfort but more stability and more peace of mind when it comes to injury. It’s definitely worth the investment and process. Anton really individualises it for you.

Anton was good. Coming from a sports background and working with cricketers in the past, he had a good idea of what bowlers do on their feet. Once we got into the Gait Track, it was eye-opening seeing how much stress goes through the foot. I really enjoyed going to see him. It’s been a huge difference to me. I can definitely recommend 3D printed insoles to other players. Hopefully, with these orthotics, I can extend my career for a few years yet and play the sport for which I have a lot of passion.

For me, it was more a case of the minor niggles. I would feel pain in my ligaments or in my Achilles heel, calves, or hips. The insoles are more about helping with a reduction in niggles, so that when I am not otherwise injured, I feel at 100 percent fitness, as opposed to around 90 percent. The fact that I have less niggles leads me to believe that I’m not going to be in line for as many hip injuries. These orthotics help reduce that. My feet are also feeling a lot better!
