Foot Solutions, Inc., the footwear and custom orthotics retailer in business for 25 years, and pickleball pro player Ben Johns have teamed up to create a 3D-printed custom orthotic for pickleball players.
Johns selected the structural and material elements combined with Foot Solutions’ proprietary process to create a custom orthotic based on an in-person foot and gait analysis, a digital scan of the feet and a design specific to each customer.
John Prothro, CEO of Foot Solutions, said, “Ben Johns is the GOAT of pickleball, and he’s known for precision and excellence. Because Ben is also a material science engineer, he is the perfect partner to create a solution for pickleball players to stay comfortable and healthy on their feet.”
Johns said, “I have been a regular user of Foot Solutions custom orthotics since I visited my local store a few years ago. This new product is a result of several months of testing and revisions working alongside Foot Solutions experts. The result is a 3D printed custom orthotic designed to improve performance, especially balance and movement, and alleviate the pain, fatigue and injury associated with pickleball.”
Ben Johns orthotics will be available at select Canada locations and U.S.-based Foot Solutions stores starting May 5.
