Topcovers can be changed or replaced as long as the base shell is made from fiberglass, plastic, or graphite. The topcover materials can be replaced many times during an orthotic's life and can be altered with any repair option regardless of the original length or cover material.
Topcover Replacement
Material Options
Neoprene is a premium covering option having a medium softness and great compression resistance. The overall thickness is 3/16" and is a favored choice for full length orthotics used in athletic and casual shoes with removable insoles. (Black)
Genuine leather is a thinner topcover option having less cushioning, yet superior durability. The overall thickness is approximately 1/8" and is the preferred choice for dress shoes, perspiration issues, and 3/4 length orthotics. (Brown)

Topcovers are made in two lengths: 3/4 or Full Length. 3/4 length covers the shell only or extends slightly past the shell, while full length topcovers extend ALL the way to the toe of the shoe.

Extras
Metatarsal Supports
Pads that support the transmetatarsal arch, aleviating pressure from the ball of the foot. These pads are located at the distal end of the orthotic shell, they are effective, yet may take a little time to get used to.
Heel Spur Pads
These are horseshoe shaped cushions that alleviate pressure from the central part of the heel.
Extra features can be added to an orthotic while the topcovers are being replaced. Metatarsal supports, heel spur pads, and arch pads are the most common add-ons. If your orthotic originally had any of these extras please request them on the order (or they won't be included).

Ultra Sponge
Pamper your feet by upgrading to the softest, most comfortable topcover option we offer! It starts with a 1/16" top-layer of neoprene, followed by a 1/8" mid-layer of ultra sponge, then finished with a durable bottom cover on the full length option. This tri-laminate combination has excellent cushion, durability, and compression resistance.
*All materials may be ordered in either full length or 3/4 length.
*Choose your topcover options based on YOUR needs, you don't have to duplicate the original length, materials, or extras.

Arch Pads
The regular leather and neoprene topcovers come with a standard foam layer under the topcover material for comfort and rigidity. The full length ultra topcovers have an under layer of synthetic suede to protect the soft mid-cushion material.
Ultra Leather
Arch Pads
For those who prefer leather, but don't want to sacrifice comfort! We use the ultra sponge mid-cushion, then add a premium leather top instead of neoprene.
A soft contoured arch pad increases the support under the arch, approximately 3/16" higher than the original shell support.
*Extras can be ordered even if your orthotics did not include any of these features originally.
