Dr. Dominik Walter, Stride Head of Design
"After many years of development, we are finally able to bring our world class German orthotic to you across the world. Stride offers the same in-clinic experience and medical oversight as if you’d see me in person, without any of the hassle or cost.
Dr. Elsa Gould, DPT. Northwestern Medicine.
"As a doctor of physical therapy specializing in foot pathology, I now solely recommend Stride for my patients. Their insoles are superior in both medical quality and comfort to the in-clinic podiatric insoles my patients had previously been using."
What will you achieve with Stride Soles?
Not fitting well? Need adjustments? No problem! We’ll adjust your custom insoles to fit like a dream so you can get back to enjoying life pain-free.
Head of Podiatry, Stride Soles
Each orthotic is custom designed in Germany by Dr. Dietmar Walter and his team of master pedorthists. Dr. Walter is world renowned for his craftsmanship, having won multiple prestigious awards including the Adalbert Seifriz Award for the combination of skilled craft and science in orthosis design.
Yes! And in many ways better.
Just like in the clinic, you capture a 3D foot scan, record a gait analysis, and answer key questions about your foot health. You can even request a 1:1 consultation with a member of the Stride team. All this in just 5 minutes and a fraction of the cost.
Your information is then analyzed by our podiatrists who then craft your custom orthotics, designed to alleviate your pain and improve your health.
Custom orthotics are a first line treatment for flat feet, plantar fasciitis, ankle instability, arthritis, pronation, supination, limb-length discrepancy, morton’s neuroma, fractured bones, patellofemoral syndrome, posterior tibialis syndrome, and many other musculoskeletal conditions.
Strides are more than just a medical treatment. Our insoles are specifically designed to prevent injury by correcting postural issues before injuries occur.
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee, meaning we will redesign your pair free of charge or offer you a full refund.
Adjusting to custom orthotics is a process. While most people feel immediate relief, the ligaments, bones, and muscles in your feet may need some time to adapt to the corrective design. We ask that you give your feet at least 21 days to adjust to the insoles, starting with 1-2 hours of wear for the first few days until you feel comfortable.
Stride insoles last 4-6 years, depending on factors like activity level and body weight.
This is way longer than the 6-12 months it takes for a pair of Strides to correct your foot architecture. In some ways, orthotics are like braces. As your teeth adapt, braces need tightening. Similarly, after 12 months your foot structure will have corrected a substantial amount. To reach your physiologic potential, we recommend a rescanned insole every year.
No. Stride orthotics are available without a prescription, but they are designed and reviewed by medical professionals, so you get clinical-grade care without needing an office visit.
Yes—our insoles are available in different profiles (low, standard, and high volume) to fit everything from athletic shoes and boots to casual sneakers. We’ll guide you to the right fit based on your scan and use case.
Yes, though for best performance and longevity, we recommend having multiple pairs if you switch shoes frequently or wear different types (e.g., running shoes vs. work boots).
Stride doesn’t currently bill insurance directly, but you may submit for reimbursement through your FSA, HSA, or insurance plan. We’re happy to provide documentation for that.
After your scan and intake, our podiatrists begin designing your insoles right away. Most orders are delivered within 10–14 days.
Yes, we create custom insoles for growing feet too. Proper support during childhood and adolescence can prevent long-term issues.
