Prolab Instep Prefabricated Orthotics with no post control motion and distribute pressure evenly with their functionally corrected, semi-rigid polypropylene design. The semi-rigid orthotic is designed to control abnormal pronation and the 3/4 length design allows the orthotics to be transferred from shoe to shoe. The deep heel cup keeps the heel seated in the orthotic, for a more comfortable fit.
Prolab Instep Orthotics are white in color and have no post at the heel. They do not control as much motion as the P3 Orthotics, but may have a better fit in shoes with a narrow heel or shoes with less depth. Prolab P3 Posted Orthotics.
Medical Usage: Recommended for heel pain, heel spurs, arch pain, plantar fasciitis, hallux limitis and metatarsalgia.
Prolab Prefabricated Orthotics come in 10 sizes to accommodate most foot sizes.

How Orthotics Work: Prolab Functional Orthotic's rigid design controls abnormal motion in the foot and prevents midfoot collapse. In the picture below, the foot is pronated, the base of the heel has rotated out and the ankle has rotated towards the midline of the body.
|
 |
When the heel rotates like this, it causes instability of the midfoot and results in midfoot collapse (arch collapse). Orthotics help to control the motion at the heel, preventing arch collapse. |
 |
| The difference between the Prolab P3 Posted Orthotics and the Prolab Unposted Instep Orthotics can be seen below by looking at the orthotics from the back. The Posted Orthotics have an addition at the heel to help control extra motion (pronation) and further prevent arch collapse. The Prolab Instep Orthotics do not have a rearfoot post and may fit better in shoes with more narrow heels. |
 |
 |
Controling the motion at the rearfoot and preventing arch collapse takes stress off of the heel and the arch and helps foot conditions like plantar fasciitis (heel spurs) and general arch and heel pain. |
 |
 |
Prolab orthotics distribute pressure more evenly between the heel and forefoot, decreasing excess pressure on the ball of the foot. The orthotics also help minimize elevation of the 1st metatarsal, in those with hypermobile feet. |
|  |
| When the 1st metatarsal elevates, the weight is transfered to the ball of the foot. By balancing heel and forefoot pressure and preventing 1st metatarsal elevation, the orthotics help decrease pain in the ball of the foot, for example metatarsalgia. By controlling motion and distributing weight, orthotics also help hallux limitis. |
