Foot Orthotics can fit into "Pumps"
Problem:
"I need to wear my Foot Orthotics but they do not fit into my Pumps"
Solution:
Modern day orthotic laboratories now have a special technique to fit the Foot Orthotic into a pump.
Pumps for women are usually heeled. The shape has varied through time. In the UK, in 2007, a closed toe and wide (non-stiletto) heel were worn by the very fashion-conscious, but most still wore stilettos of mainly 'kitten' height to medium height.
In the UK, outside the fashion trade, the term "pumps" would normally imply flat or low-heel dancing or ballerina pumps, or even rubber-soled canvas plimsolls. In the U.S., "pumps" exclusively refers to women's shoes with a kitten or higher heel.
Pumps can be made from any material, but traditional patent leather is popular. Pumps are mostly worn with a suit or a uniform, but are also worn with formal and informal dresses, skirts, trousers, and jeans. White, stiletto-heeled pumps are the standard attire with swimsuits in beauty pageants.
Foot Orthotics and "Pumps"
Custom Foot Orthotics and women's shoes can be problem with fit. The general nature of a pump is that it is narrow and tight fitting. When a attempt to fit a orthotic device is made there is little room for the bulk of a regular shaped Orthotic.
Solution:
1. Reduce bulk by grinding the shape to mimic the shape of the pump. A pump is narrow in the mid-foot with the forefoot and rearfoot wider.
2. Lower the heel cup to 10 mm deep.
3. Grind the thickness of the pump in the heel until a hole is formed. This will allow the foot to seat deeper in the shoe.
4. Allow the Orthotic to bend to adjust to different heel heights of the shoe.
Dr. Yoshidas Foot Orthotic Center has experience with this problem and has a practical solution.... order the correct Orthotic.
A typical Walking Orthotic or Sport Orthotic will be to bulky to fit.
A "Slim Fashion" Orthotic will fit and give you the orthotic support necessary.
If you already have an Orthotic, a duplicate pair can be made to fit your narrow fashion pump.
