Dazshell Posted January 7, 2014 Share I got a pair of cork orthotics made up by Byron Starkey at Kings Park Medical Centre - 031 303 3874. They have lasted 3 years. Also made me a pair for my running shoes out of rubber. Have done nearly 3000kms with them. They are at the Lion Match business park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuppa Bru Posted January 7, 2014 Share Keeping an eye on this thread!I have flat feet and gave up getting orthotic insoles after the prices I saw were astronomical Going for barefoot walks helps with the pain in my ankles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia Posted January 8, 2014 Share I have a pair from Byron at R2600.00.Very worried they will not last and would like to have a solid replacement made.The pair I have seem very fragile and I really do not see them lasting. After one days wear I can see chaffing. I.need at least 2cm on my injured leg so may have to make a wear plate myself.I was just hoping somebody could make some up in carbon/glass for all my shoes..

Sepia Posted January 9, 2014 Share Google found this: http://footlogics.co...es-inserts.html R290Thanks but these are for standard feet. I need copies made of my existing inserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shangri la Posted January 9, 2014 Share If you in the area check out the Specalized shop in Balito or Hillcreast ( I think??)- I use their inserts and sorted out the knee pain I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telephone 031 2021122. Musgrave Park. he makes all sorts of orthotics and prostheses. My mate has polio in one leg and has had his shoes built up internally by him. But I have used Byron and when I had a problem with my first pair of orthotics he sorted them out at no charge. They should last for years.
