Flexible Orthotics for Active Movement

Orthix Super Flex is designed for people who need orthotic support with greater flexibility through movement. Its positioning focuses on an active feel and compatibility with footwear where a more flexible device is preferred.

Active lifestyles
High-impact sports

Quick answer

Flexible orthotics are designed to bend more readily than rigid devices while still providing a shaped interface under the foot. Super Flex is the flexible-support option in the Orthix range, but suitability depends on the required control, activity, and footwear.

What are Super Flex orthotics?

Super Flex is organized around shell behavior rather than one sport or diagnosis. A flexible device may feel more natural in motion and may fit selected active shoes more easily, but flexibility alone does not determine clinical suitability.

Who may benefit from this model?

This model may suit active people who prefer a more flexible feel or have been assessed as needing less rigid control. It can be compared with Sport for general athletic use and with Dress for lower-volume shoes. The final recommendation should reflect the person’s foot, movement needs, activity, and footwear.

Key characteristics

Flexible shell behavior
Support that moves more readily with the foot
Active-lifestyle positioning for compatible footwear

Footwear and fit

Bring the primary active shoes to the fitting. Check that the orthotic lies flat, does not slide, and leaves enough space for the toes and heel. A flexible device still needs a stable, correctly fitted shoe to form a secure system.

How this model is different

Choose Super Flex when flexibility is the key product requirement. Choose Sport for a broader performance category, Marathon for long-distance running, or Dress when the central challenge is low shoe volume.

Frequently asked questions

Is Super Flex softer than Super Soft?: Not necessarily. Flexibility describes how readily the device bends; softness describes cushioning and surface feel. They are different characteristics.
Is Super Flex suitable for arthritis?: Only a qualified clinician can determine that. Arthritis varies widely, and the most flexible device is not automatically the best choice.
Can I use Super Flex for high-impact sports?: Only if the product has been assessed for the activity and fitted appropriately. Do not assume that flexibility alone provides impact protection.

Compare Orthix Super Flex with Sport and Dress during a fitting to find the right balance of movement, control, and shoe compatibility.
