Roam offers true custom orthotics—without the doctor visits, delivering the same medical-grade quality, expert design, and durability as clinic-made orthotics, but at a fraction of the cost and hassle.
Made using professional-grade materials and precision molding, Roam Insoles provide targeted relief for foot pain, flat feet, plantar fasciitis, and general fatigue—ideal for people who stand, walk, or stay active all day.
While podiatrists are essential for complex medical cases, most people can get the relief they need directly through Roam, skipping the markup and still enjoying the long-term benefits of better posture, comfort, and mobility.
When it comes to custom orthotics, most people assume they need to see a podiatrist to get the real deal. But what if you could get the same high-quality, custom product—without the high costs, long wait times, or doctor visits?
That’s where Roam comes in. We offer true custom orthotic insoles designed to support your feet just like the ones you’d get through a specialist. The biggest difference? The price.
Ordering a pair of custom orthotics from a doctor’s office can cost you $300 to $800 per pair with the average price being about $500-$600. Not to mention the additional $100–$250 for the doctor's consultation! You’ll likely wait days or even weeks for appointments and follow-ups—and that’s all before you even receive your insoles. If you’re dealing with daily foot pain, that’s time and money you don’t want to waste.

High Quality, NO Corners Cut
Roam can deliver the same level of quality and customization: fully custom orthotics at a fraction of the price and delivered directly to your door.
You’re not sacrificing anything when you skip the office. Roam insoles are made using:
Medical-grade impression foam to capture your exact foot shape
Casts are reviewed and your orthotics are designed by experts
A manufacturing team trained to produce orthotics at the highest level
The same materials and technology used by top orthotic labs
In short, we’ve removed the middleman—but not the craftsmanship. You still get the same medical-grade quality, with none of the medical markup. All the comfort, support, and durability you’d expect from a clinical product—delivered directly to your door. Every insole is designed for durability, premium support, and all-day comfort—helping you move better, feel better, and live pain-free.

So, What Can a Doctor Do That ROAM Can’t?
It’s an important question—and we’re honest about the answer.
A licensed podiatrist can do full medical and biomechanical assessments, take detailed measurements, and most importantly, diagnose medical conditions that may be causing your foot pain. If you’re dealing with more complex issues, like diabetic foot concerns, nerve problems, serious joint deformities, or post-surgical recovery—a medical specialist is the right choice.
Doctors can also make real-time adjustments to your orthotics, do in-person fittings, and follow up to tweak the product based on your feedback. That kind of hands-on attention can be valuable for more severe or specialized cases.
If you're dealing with things like severe deformities, diabetic foot care, or trauma-related issues, a medical evaluation is the right move.
But if you’re someone who:
Stands or walks all day
Has flat feet or high arches
Suffers from plantar fasciitis, heel pain, or general foot fatigue
Wants better support in your shoes
Then Roam is more than capable of delivering the comfort and results you're looking for. Without the appointments or markup.
The True Value: Healthier Feet, Happier Life
Your feet are the foundation of everything you do. Literally. When they’re properly supported, the ripple effect is enormous. You feel the difference not just in your arches or heels, but in your knees, hips, back, and posture. With the right insoles, you can move better, hurt less, and keep doing the things you love.

Just ask yourself:
What is pain-free movement worth to you?
What’s the value of waking up and not wincing with every step?
How much would you pay to walk farther, stand longer, and live more actively?
This isn’t just about foot comfort—it’s about long-term wellness. Chronic pain wears you down, steals your energy, and limits your lifestyle. Investing in Roam Insoles for your feet is investing in your mobility, health, and happiness for years to come.
Healthy feet mean more than just avoiding discomfort—they lead to a more active, energized lifestyle. Whether you're chasing kids, climbing stairs, or walking the dog, the right support makes it all easier and more enjoyable.

Your feet carry you through life- it's time you gave something back. And with our guaranteed fit promise, you can feel confident every step of the way! Order today or chat with one of our experts to get started making your own pair of custom insoles.
