Every pair of custom orthopaedic shoes we create at Frans Marx Orthotics is designed with one person in mind — you. 👣

Unlike standard footwear, custom orthopaedic shoes are carefully crafted to match each patient’s unique foot shape, medical needs, and mobility goals. From improving alignment and reducing pain to accommodating deformities and protecting sensitive areas, every detail is tailored for comfort, support, and function.

No two pairs are ever the same — because no two patients are the same.

We’re proud to combine clinical expertise with precision craftsmanship to help our patients move more comfortably and confidently every day.

If you think custom orthopaedic shoes could benefit you or a loved one, feel free to contact us to learn more.

Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFO's) / Splints

AFO's play an important role in stabilising the foot and ankle to improve walking, especially by correcting foot drop and providing essential structural support where there is weakness or injury. They are also highly beneficial for children with mobility disorders such as cerebral palsy, where AFOs assist with alignment, improve gait patterns, support muscle function, and help promote safer, more efficient movement during growth and development. Overall, they help increase mobility, improve alignment, and reduce the risk of trips and falls — supporting safer and more confident movement for our patients of all ages.

At Frans Marx Orthotics, AFO provision is not just a routine service — it is a specialised clinical skill developed through years of hands-on experience, continuous learning, and dedication. Frans has spent countless hours refining his approach to AFO design, fitting, and optimisation to ensure each patient receives the most appropriate and effective support for their individual needs.

Commitment to excellence in orthotic care means working tirelessly to improve outcomes, comfort, and mobility for every patient who walks through the door. This depth of knowledge and passion for patient care is what makes personalised orthotic management so valuable.

We remain dedicated to providing the highest standard of orthotic support to help our patients move with confidence every day. 👣✨

It's been almost 2 years now that we have embarked on a custom made sandal journey. Each sandal is designed according to the support required by the person's foot (iow medical prescription sandals). We continue to receive such good feedback and are glad to have already received couple of orders this spring. Here are a few pics of the previous pairs made.

Summer is here and creativity is out. Colour? No problem, you can mix them all. Leather, also our preferred material to use for our custom designs. Let us design a sandal for you with your built-in orthotic prescription.
