| Heel counter | reinforces the shoe and stabilizes the foot by controlling the calcaneus |
| Collar | Band of leather stitched to the top of the quarters |
| Lace stay | portion containing eyes for laces |
| Heel cushion relief | give pressure relief for the heel part like in a calcaneal spur |
| Sole relief | cut sole for pressure relief |
| Scaphoid pads or arch cookies | rubber or foam wedge to give medial longitudinal support |
| Met pads | pad under the met heads |
| Heel wedges | medial wedge promotes inversion and later wedge promotes eversion |
| UCBL orthosis | custom molded insole used in flat foot |
| heel cup | provides calcaneal support |
| arch insert | can support medial or lateral longitudinal arch |
| insoles | useful for many deformities |
| rocker bar | convex strip placed under met heads externally to relieve metatarsal pan, quicken gait by assisting rollover, assist dorsifelxion or ecrease demand on weak plantar flexors |
| met bar | external device under met heads relieves pressure from the met heads |
| sole wedge | medial wedge promotes inversion and lateral wedge promotes eversion |
| toe wedge | medial toe wedge encourages toeing in and lateral toe wedge helps in toeing out |
| sole flare | widens base of support |
| steel shank | is inserted between inner and outer sole and reduces work of metatarsals/phalanges while bending |
| heel flare | used medially to resist eversion and laterally to resist inversion |
| heel extension | supports longitudinal arch and can project medially or laterally |
| cushioned heel | is a heel with posterior portion replaced by a rubberised material to absorb shock |
| heel lift | is used to compensate for pes equnus deformity or a leg length discrepancy of 1/4 to 1/2 inch |
| Pes Planus | Goal: decrease eversion an longitudinal arch support Modification: Thomas heel with medial high wedge, medial longitudinal arch support with cooke |
| Pes Cavus | Goal: distribute weight over entire foot, decrease pain and pressure on med heads Modification: high quarter, high toe box, lateral heel and sole wedges, met bars and molded inner sole |
| Pes equines | Goal:Heel strike, contain foot in shoe, decrease pressure on met head Modification:High quarter shoe, heel and sole elevation of the other shoe, modified lace stay for wide opening, medial longitudinal arch support |

| Short limb | Goal:Equalize leg length Modification:<0.5 inches internal lift; >0.5 external; >1 both internal and external; high quarter shoe and rocker bottom |
| Hammer toe | Goal:Decrease pressure on the painful region and support transverse arch Modification:Extra depth shoe with high toe box, met pad |
| Hallux valgus | Goal:Decrease pressure on the Met head, prevent foot slide and pressure distribution Modification:Relief in a soft vamp for the valgus, low heel, Met pad, medial longitudinal arch support |
| Calcaneal spur | Goal:Decrease pressure on the painful area Modification: Heel cushion |
| Arthritis of foot | Goal:Support the joint motion Modification:wide shoe, extra depth, flexible sole, fully molded insole, metatarsal pad, soft toe box, soft heel counter |
| Insensate foot | Goal: prevent ulcers Modification: Extra depth shoe, microcellular rubber insole; Patient needs to examine the foot for any trauma and pay attention to the metatarsal head and can soak daily & apply emollients |
| Plantar Fascitis | Goal: Pain releif Modification: UCBL shoe insert. This is a custom insert made of plastic shell, holds foot in position that releives tension in plantar fascia |
| Pronated foot | Goal: to decrease pronation Modification: This is seen in runners. The foot tends to roll inward causing wear along the inner side of the shoe. Needs medial support, wide flared heel and motion control heel counter |
| Arthritis of foot | Goal: pain releif Modification: wide shoe, extra depth, flexible sole, fully molded insole, metatarsal pad, soft toe box, soft heel counter |
