Custom molded orthotics will relieve pain in your feet, back, knees, legs and heels, and improve comfort and performance. Keep your legs, knees, pelvis, back and body properly aligned. Absorb the pounding of day-to-day walking, standing, working, carrying heavy loads, and sports stress. Relieve the pain of Plantar Fasciitis and other foot problems.
Provide support for fallen arches and control pronation (where your ankle rolls too far inward). To sell more shoes, manufacturers design them with standard insoles to accommodate as many people as possible. These insoles don't provide the support your feet need to function correctly and keep your body in proper alignment.

Services
Experienced custom foot support experts for over thirty years in the St. Paul - Minneapolis metro area. FootLab grew from our decade's long work with skiers. The human foot is simply not designed to function properly in an inflexible ski boot at 30, 40 or even 50mph. The loads that the foot is subjected to under those circumstances are tremendous.
The short answer is yes, health savings accounts and flex spending will cover orthotics through the FootLab. Make an appointment and bring your account credit card, we'll swipe it through our terminal just like a regular transaction.
In terms of traditional health insurance, the short answer is typically no, health insurance does not cover orthotics unless you're a diabetic patient and that process is different from the process we use here at the FootLab.If you have any other questions don't hesitate to call us at 651-429-333 and have a great day!.

The FootLab Orthotic - our process for custom made orthotics for St Paul / Minneapolis, MN area clients. In the first two cases, the impressions are sent to a lab where plaster is poured into the foam box or plaster cast to make a plaster mold of the foot. In the case of a digital image, the image is emailed to a lab where a mold of the foot is machined from molding material.
Other orthotics providers may require multiple visits to get your custom orthotics or insoles made. A first appointment to get a mold made of your feet, then they send it to an offsite lab which can take weeks to fabricate your orthotics and then you need to schedule a second visit for a final fitting.
The answer to that is no. We are not podiatrists. A podiatrist is a medical physician, we are certified pedorthists (Cpeds). A certified pedorthist scope of practice is basically from the ankle bone down. We're trained in the 26 bones and 33 joints that are part of the human foot. When we build an orthotic, we're extremely focused on what happens as the foot goes through the walking stride, or what we call the gait cycle.

My feet have high arches and I'm also getting older, although I'm very active for my age. I was having a hard time walking longer than 3 miles without pain. The Foot Lab's process of custom made Orthotics was the answer! Great service, high quality and affordable! High value that keeps paying me in dividends for my lifestyle; no more painful hikes and walks!

I have been to the team and shop here twice and they provide exceptional insights and service as you think of buying anything. I know the world is changing and we all run to amazon to buy and price match but these folks are so good with their knowledge that you do feel like spending money after the A+++ service. A very friendly and nice store. Cheers and I will return to this store in a 💗 heart beat. Thanks Bill and team.

Literally the only reason I can do my job! I have really high arches and was in constant pain, then I came here and got insoles. I seriously spent everyday in pain. My feet killed me. These insoles literally changed my life. Steep upfront cost is more than worth it. If you question that they'll help, they will. If you question the cost, it's so worth it. Please give it a shot. This man is a rockstar. I'll be back for more soon as I put them in my work boots (law enforcement), gym shoes (running, heavy weights), and casual shoes. So important and so worth the investment.

I called Footlab after receiving (in my opinion) an excessively expensive quote for orthotics from my Orthopedic's office. I had the pleasure of speaking with Brad Nelson, who was extremely thorough in explaining their process and why their pricing was much less than my Doctor's Office. It was immediately apparent to me that he not only knew what he was talking about, but had a real passion for his work. I immediately booked an appointment.
