STABILITY
STABILITY Custom Orthotics for Foot Stability and Support
Feel better supported with custom orthotics designed around your stability needs. FOOTLAB STABILITY is a rigid to semi-rigid foot orthosis developed to provide enhanced structural support and greater containment around the heel.
Its higher trimline helps provide additional heel stability, making it an option for individuals who require greater control during walking, prolonged standing, and other weight-bearing activities. It may also be considered for activities such as golf, weightlifting, and bowling, where a stable base of support is important.
Every STABILITY orthotic is prescribed according to an individual's foot structure, balance and mobility needs, activity demands, and clinical assessment.
Key benefits and features
Enhanced structural support
A rigid to semi-rigid design intended for individuals who require a higher level of foot support than a softer cushioning orthotic may provide.
Greater heel containment
Higher trimlines are designed to provide additional containment and stability around the heel.
Support for weight-bearing activities
Prescribed support is matched to the demands of walking, standing, and selected activities that benefit from a stable base.
Individualized stability
The amount and location of support are determined by the orthotist based on foot alignment, symptoms, function, and footwear compatibility.
Is STABILITY right for you?
Here is who STABILITY custom orthotics are designed for, which concerns they may help address, and what to expect.
Who is STABILITY designed for?
STABILITY may be suitable for individuals who:
- Require additional structural support around the foot and heel.
- Experience foot instability or discomfort during weight-bearing activities.
- Need an assessment for balance-related difficulties or concerns about stability while walking.
- Participate in activities such as golf, weightlifting, or bowling.
- Need a more supportive orthotic design than a softer, flexible insole can provide.
- Have support requirements that may not be adequately addressed by COMFORT+, subject to clinical assessment.
Balance difficulties and an increased risk of falling may have causes that extend beyond the feet. An orthotic assessment helps determine whether additional foot support is appropriate and whether further clinical evaluation is needed.
What concerns can STABILITY help address?
Depending on your clinical findings, STABILITY may be considered when the goal is to:
- Improve the support provided around the heel.
- Manage excessive foot motion when additional control is indicated.
- Provide a more stable base of support during weight-bearing activities.
- Accommodate foot mechanics that require a firmer orthotic design.
- Address specific support needs identified during a clinical assessment.
STABILITY does not guarantee fall prevention or injury prevention. Its suitability depends on the underlying concern and the individual's overall functional needs.

What makes STABLE different?
STABLE is designed to emphasize structural support and heel containment. Its rigid to semi-rigid construction and higher trimlines distinguish it from COMFORT+, which prioritizes soft cushioning, and MOVE, which accommodates greater freedom of movement for dynamic activities.
The goal is to provide the level of control and support appropriate for the individual, rather than choosing an orthotic simply because it feels firmer.
What to expect from your STABLE orthotics
Your certified orthotist will evaluate your foot alignment, gait, balance-related concerns, activity level, and support requirements. The resulting custom orthotic will be designed and fitted according to your assessment.
- Evaluation of your foot alignment and gait
- Review of balance-related concerns and activity level
- Assessment of your support requirements
- Custom design and fitting
Because STABLE may provide firmer support, you may notice pressure in areas where the orthotic makes contact with your foot. Follow the recommended adjustment schedule and consult your orthotist if discomfort persists, you develop numbness or skin irritation, or your symptoms worsen.

Book a Free AssessmentWhat is the difference between STABLE and COMFORT+?
COMFORT+ prioritizes soft cushioning and everyday comfort. STABLE provides firmer structural support and greater containment around the heel for individuals who need additional stability.
Is STABLE suitable for flat feet?
It may be considered for some individuals with flat feet when additional structural support is appropriate. Flat-foot posture alone does not determine which orthotic is needed.
Can STABLE help with balance problems?
It may provide additional foot support in selected cases, but balance difficulties can have many causes. Your orthotist will assess whether an orthotic is appropriate as part of your overall care.
Can I wear STABLE for weightlifting or golf?
These are among the activities for which STABLE may be considered. The appropriate design depends on your individual foot mechanics, activity requirements, and footwear.
