Carbonflex orthotic devices are manufactured using prefabricated 2mm composite shells, assembled as per the clinician’s prescription. They are a popular option as a lower cost alternative to fully custom orthoses. Simply send us a plaster cast, foam box or foot sketch and we will select the relevant shell size for your patient. They are available in either ¾ or full length in both standard and slimfit options. There are also a variety of heel types available; standard, slimfit, comfort fill or no heel. This customisation makes Carbonflex devices a popular choice for slim fitting footwear such as dress shoes and football boots.
