Although it is true that custom made arch support insoles for those who have flat feet must be made by a licensed professional, it is actually possible to make handmade orthotics at home. However, these types should only be made for those whose flat foot condition is not too severe. Basically, the homemade ones can be made for those who have low arches in order to stay safe.
Now if one would want to make a homemade arch support insole, then he would have to buy a few things. Firstly, he will be needing two to three old insoles that would probably come from an old pair of shoes. He has to make sure that the insoles all have the same size.
The next thing that he would have to get would be a glue that is waterproof or better yet, super glue that can really stick. In order to cut up the insoles, one will be needing a pair of really sharp scissors because insoles may be tough to cut. As long as one has these things, then he may start getting to work on that insole.
Now the first thing to do would be to get the existing insoles and measure them. As stated earlier, all of the insoles have to be of the same size so that there will be consistency. After that, put one insole on top of another and determine which part is the part that would hold the arch.
Once that part has already been found, then the next thing to do would be to cut out that part using the pair of scissors that was acquired earlier. After that, one has to now make sure that the cut part will match the insole, if not, then maybe a bit more cutting will have to be done. Once that has already been done, then one can now glue the cut part to the insole.
After that has already been done, then one just has to wait for the glue to dry before he tries it out. Of course as stated above, the best glue for this type of project would be super glue. It is this glue that is the stickiest as well as the most effective and it dries really fast.
Now if one notices that the arch support is not high enough, then he may actually add another layer if he would want to. All he has to do is get another insole and just repeat the process that was done a while ago. After that, he just has to wait for the glue to dry again and try it on.
Now making handmade orthotics at home as quite easy as one will be able to see. However, do not try to do this if the flat feet case is quite severe. These handmade ones should only be used for those whose cases are not severe as the severe cases would already need the custom made ones with specific measurements.
