Orthotics for Peroneal Tendonitis
Common symptoms include:
- Pain on the outer aspect of the foot below the ankle (lateral malleolus) primarily when running.
- Swelling after standing/walking for long durations.
- Weakness and instability in the foot and ankle.
Peroneal tendonitis typically occurs when there is a change in activity level, footwear or new types of exercise.

Custom Orthotics Designed for Ankle Injury/Peroneal Tendonitis
- Lateral (outer) heel posting - in order to reduce traction on the peroneal tendons by controlling inversion (outer ankle rolls).
- Customized arch support - aids in dissipating the pressure throughout the foot and alleviating the outer aspect of the ankle.
- Shock absorbent heel cushioning - aids in dissipating pressure throughout the foot and offsetting impact at the ankle region.
- Wide base - this will maintain stability in the shoe and prevent any ankle sprains/rolls from occurring - which may cause inflammation to peroneal tendons.
- Neutral casting - to align your feet and lower limbs in order to place them in the most optimal position for gait.
- Deep heel cup - will lock the heel in place, allow your foot to maintain neutral position and place adipose 'soft' tissue under the heel bone to reduce the effect of impact forces.
- Perforated top-cover - shock absorbent materials that wicks away sweat and bacteria while allowing for effective transfer of air and perspiration, resulting in a cool, dry environment.
