Handcrafted in the USA with Love

Custom Footwear Feel…

Our goal at Corefit Orthotics^® remains unchanged since the first pair of self moldable “Zinke’s Foot Form Supports” were handcrafted: to produce an affordable, self moldable orthotic insert. Mr. Zinke crafted custom made shoes ”with contoured insoles, formed to fit the foot.” Unlike mass-produced shoes, which had mostly flat insoles, his custom made shoes left a wearer feeling as though they were walking “on soft earth” instead of pavement. He then thought, “Why not create an customizable insert that can be inserted into standard footwear, giving wearers comfort that is only derived from custom-made shoes?” A team was then commissioned to developed our custom moldable insert, which would turn out to be evolutionary.

Corefit inserts both stabilize and support the weight bearing areas of the foot…cradling the heel and supporting the longitudinal and metatarsal arches; providing solid comfort and relieving the pain associated with many foot disorders. It is a custom moldable device that is a superior foot support, doing the job more affordably than podiatrist fitted orthotics that can sell for $300 and upward. Many tasks are best done by hand, and as a family owned company, we’re able to preserve the traditional and complex hand-finishing skills that make our orthotics effective.

Our national network of Zinke’s Shoe Repair locations was divested by our California Leather Jobbing parent company in September 2003. Its flagship product, Zinke’s Foot Form Supports, was then re-named Corefit Orthotics^®.
