Why are Root Orthotics beneficial?
Patient and professional skier, JT Holmes shares his experience with Root Orthotics.
We are a leader in innovation and have helped improve the lives of hundreds of millions
We invented the modern foot orthotic.
In 1958, our founder Dr. Merton Root, began work on a thermoplastic Functional Orthotic and then wrote two seminal books Biomechanical Examination of the Foot Vol. 1, 1971 and Normal and Abnormal Function of the Foot - Clinical Biomechanics Vol. 2 1977.
The Lakers team podiatrist Howard Liebeskind, DPM loves Foot IDTM technology and orthotic outcomes
CEO of KevinRoot Medical, Kevin Rosenbloom calls out Howard Liebeskind as the G.O.A.T. of team podiatry and an inspiration for the next generation of podiatrists.
We have a tradition of helping great athletes perform
After establishing his practice, Dr. Root expanded his practice into professional sports. He treated prominent athletes such as Gaylord Perry, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, and Ken Carpenter. He was also the team podiatrist for the San Francisco Giants baseball team.

We start with the patient
In 2019 we released Biomechanical IntelligenceTM, Modernizing Root exam methods in an updated method for collecting patients’ mechanical data, methodically examining the MSK patient, making prescription decisions and getting extraordinary outcomes.
In 2020 we released Foot IDTM
Foot ID is the first iOS app to scan the patient using Apple's TrueDepth camera system. This eliminates the need to scan with a larger more cumbersome system or cast your patient in the more antiquated traditional method of plaster or foam impression.
Foot ID allows you to scan and submit orders to our lab in seconds maximizing your efficiency.
By diagnosis
We take evidence based approaches with pathology designed prescriptions to create therapeutic solutions for your patients.
Advanced modifications
With over 845 possible modifications to choose from, you get exactly what your patient requires.
Custom contoured
A geometric frame shape that is contoured to your patient’s prescription is created using the latest 3D software.
We offer the best orthoses for difficult pathologies to make great patient outcomes easy
Plantar Fasciitis
Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
Arthitis
Plantar Plate Tear
Foot Drop
Hallux Rigidus
Our orthoses are made from the highest quality materials
Orthoses covering and frame material options improve clinical management of biomechanical compression and shear loads for each unique individual.
- TL2100 Carbon
- Medical Grade Polypropylene
- Myolite Polyurethane
- Prolite EVA foam
We guarantee patient satisfaction and against breakage with our peace of mind guarantee.
Leverage the best for your clinic with specialty devices
