The Fargo-Moorhead Area’s Only True Prescription Custom Orthotics
Retail arch supports from stores like Good Feet are pre-fabricated products handed to every customer — they aren’t prescribed, they aren’t custom-molded, and they aren’t eligible for insurance coverage. Dr. Bekkum’s Footmaxx prescription orthotics are built from a 3D digital scan of your specific foot with over 30 biomechanical corrections chosen for your diagnosis.

The Right Orthotic for Every Foot & Every Life
Footmaxx manufactures over a dozen distinct orthotic lines, from carbon fiber sport orthotics to diabetic accommodative devices. Dr. Bekkum selects the appropriate product line based on your scan findings, diagnosis, and lifestyle.
Athletic & Sport Orthotics
Sport-specific designs for basketball, hockey, soccer, running, golf, baseball, tennis, skiing, and cross-training. High-density shells with sport-appropriate top covers, impact absorption, and motion control under dynamic load.
High-Performance Carbon Fiber
Carbon fiber construction — 26.7% lighter and 37% thinner than traditional polypropylene. Expedition® features XRD® impact technology. Voyager® adds PORON XRD shock absorption and SmartTech™ temperature regulation. For high-level athletes and active adults.
Everyday & Dress Orthotics
Slim-profile orthotics for dress shoes, work boots, and everyday footwear. Trilamaxx™ blends functional support with accommodative comfort. MaxxLife™ features premium vegan leather construction for professional environments.
Diabetic & Accommodative
Three-tier diabetic orthotic system — from semi-rigid Diabetic 1 for mild risk to ultra-flexible Diabetic 3 and High Risk designs for pressure redistribution and ulceration prevention. Full-contact EVA milled construction, CLEANTSPORT NXT™ antimicrobial protection.
Arthritic & Inflammatory
Specifically designed for arthritis, gout, and inflammatory foot conditions. Progressive flexibility levels from Arthritic 1 (semi-rigid support) through Arthritic 3 (maximum accommodative cushioning) — reduces forefoot pressure and joint loading.
Children’s Prescription Orthotics
Custom-fitted for growing feet. Addresses flat foot, in-toeing, heel pain (Sever’s disease), and early gait dysfunction. Pediatric sizing with age-appropriate shell flexibility. Catching structural problems early prevents them from becoming adult pathology.
From 3D Scan to Custom Orthotic — 4 Steps
No foam boxes. No plaster casts. One clinical visit, a 3D digital scan of both feet under load, and a prescription sent directly to the Footmaxx lab.
Clinical Exam & Diagnosis
Dr. Bekkum reviews your history, examines your foot structure and alignment, and assesses your gait pattern. This clinical diagnosis drives every correction selected — not a store questionnaire.
AcquireTD 3D Foot Scan
Both feet are scanned with the Footmaxx AcquireTD system — first unloaded, then under your full body weight. The structural deformation between those two positions determines the exact correction needed.
Prescription Written & Submitted
Dr. Bekkum selects from 40+ available corrections — shell type, posting angles, accommodations, top cover — and submits a detailed prescription directly to the Footmaxx lab.
Delivery & Fit Appointment
Your custom orthotics arrive in 2–3 weeks. Dr. Bekkum fits and fine-tunes them at a follow-up visit. Adjustments are included — because a prescription device should fit correctly every time.
Footmaxx AcquireTD — 3D Digital Foot Scanning
The AcquireTD app uses the iPad Pro camera to build a precise 3D digital model of both feet — first in a non-weight-bearing position, then under full body weight. The structural difference between those two states is the critical data your orthotic prescription is built on.
A foam impression box misses the most important information — how your foot collapses under your body weight. AcquireTD captures it in real time, digitally, bilaterally, and with the precision needed to select the correct shell material and corrections from Footmaxx’s 40+ options.
What Custom Orthotics Correct at the Source
Because Footmaxx prescription orthotics offer over 30 individual corrections, Dr. Bekkum can address conditions that a generic arch support physically cannot.
Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain
The most common orthotic indication. Horseshoe pads, heel cushions, arch fill, and rearfoot posting work together to reduce plantar fascia tension at its biomechanical source — not just cushion the pain site.
Flat Feet & Overpronation
Wide medial flanges, high flanges, arch fill, and varus rearfoot posting correct excessive inward rolling. The correction is calibrated to your specific scan data — not a standard “flat foot” insert.
Morton’s Neuroma
A Neuroma Pad spreads the metatarsal heads and reduces compression on the interdigital nerve — one of the few conditions that responds specifically and predictably to the right orthotic accommodation.
Bunions & Hallux Valgus
Morton’s extensions and first-ray accommodations reduce the abnormal load across the first metatarsophalangeal joint — slowing progression and reducing daily pain without surgery.
Shin Splints & Stress Fractures
Tibial rotation driven by overpronation is the most common biomechanical cause of shin splints. Rearfoot posting controls the tibial rotation chain — addressing the mechanism, not just the symptom.
Knee & Hip Pain from Foot Mechanics
Every degree of subtalar pronation creates internal tibial rotation that loads the medial knee. Patients who fail knee treatment frequently improve when foot mechanics are corrected with proper rearfoot and forefoot posting.
Diabetic Foot & Neuropathy
Diabetic 1, 2, and 3 orthotics with Lesion Accommodation and CLEANTSPORT NXT™ antimicrobial top covers redistribute plantar pressure, protect at-risk areas, and reduce ulceration risk in neuropathic patients.
Athlete Overuse Injuries
Sportmaxx™ sport-specific lines with PORON XRD® impact protection and sport-matched top covers address the higher-load demands of competition. Available in 9 sport-specific configurations.
Prescription Orthotics Are Often the More Affordable Option
When you factor in insurance reimbursement, durability, and the fact that a properly designed orthotic replaces the need for multiple pairs, Footmaxx prescription orthotics are frequently the better financial choice.

Already Have Footmaxx Orthotics? Time for a Re-Scan?
Continuous use, weight changes, and activity level shifts can wear out custom orthotics — sometimes before visible signs appear. If your current pair is more than 2 years old, call us. A new 3D scan may show your foot has changed and your correction needs updating.
