Custom made high arch soles are usually made for the the people who have severe cases of low foot arches or complete flat feet. Of course the custom made ones are made from the manufacturers have the specific measurements and such that the flat footed patient will need but what many do not know is that it is possible to create handmade orthotics. The only catch here is that only athletes or people with a mild case of low arch may be able to use it just to be safe.

Now before one would want to make one of these things, he would first have to get hand of certain materials. Now the most important thing that he would need would be some insoles probably from other shoes that he does not use anymore. Just make sure that all sizes of these things are more or less the same or similar.

After getting a bunch of old insoles, then the next thing to do would be to get some super glue that is rather waterproof. Of course one will also be needing a pair of scissors that will be used to cut out these insoles. Once one has already gotten all of these materials, then he may now be able to make the homemade arch support.

So the very first thing to do would be to get at least two soles together and put one on top of the other. As stated above, make sure that all the soles are exactly the same size. From there, try to find the area where the arch of the foot is held.

When it is has been found, cut that part out from only one of the soles. In other words, cut out that part of one sole and make sure that the other sole is whole. From there, glue the one that was cut to the one that is whole using the super glue or the waterproof glue.

After that has already been done, then one just has to wait for the glue to dry before he tries it out. Of course as stated above, the best glue for this type of project would be super glue. It is this glue that is the stickiest as well as the most effective and it dries really fast.

Now if one would want to make his arch support taller than it already is, he can actually do so by adding another sole part to the insole. Now he has to get the third insole and just what he did a while ago. Once he has done that, he just once again has to let the glue dry and then try to walk with it.

Now if one is an athlete who needs a higher arch support or is a person who has a low arch, then he may actually make handmade orthotics at home to save money. Now if he has a very severe case of being flat footed, then it is best that he already buys a custom made one. Other than that, the handmade one is actually more than enough.
