XT Composite Ice Ultra Rigid Foot Orthotic Blank (3.0mm)
Designed for use by manufacturers when building a functional foot orthosis (FFO), the XT Composite Ice Ultra Rigid Foot Orthotic Blank (3.0mm) features a tough yet lightweight carbon fibre construction with an ultra rigid 3.0mm thickness. It is ideal for combining with other materials to build a custom orthotic or surgical shoe that can withstand heavy use without cracking.
What's Included?
- 1 x Individual Orthosis Blank
As patients may require an FFO for just one foot, this item includes one FFO blank only.
Who Can Use the Carbon Fibre Orthotic Blank?
The Ultra Rigid Foot Orthotic Blank is designed specifically for use by podiatrists and healthcare professionals when building a custom functional foot orthosis. The FFO blank can be combined with other materials to offer the patient a custom FFO or insole that provides them with the joint realignment and stability that they need.
What's the Benefit of a Carbon Fibre Blank?
The XT Foot Orthosis Blank is manufactured from carbon fibre and polypropylene for a strong yet lightweight orthotic. Unlike the heavy steel sole plates used in traditional surgical shoes, the carbon composite can be reheated and remoulded as required, and it will not creep or bottom out.
What Are the Advantages of XT Composite Orthotic Blanks?
Thanks to their rigid construction, XT composite blanks are ideal for use in the manufacture of deep heel cups that offer firm directional support. XT orthotic blanks can also be easily re-heated and re-moulded, saving you money by making it easy to fix any mistakes made during the moulding process.

The XT Composite Blank is provided here with a thickness of 3.0mm. A selection of other thicknesses are also available, which may be more suitable to the needs of your patient; these can be viewed via the links below:

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit
Using Your Shoe Size
For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.
Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.
Measuring Your Current Insoles
While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.
To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:
- Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
- Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
- Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?
The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.
The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab
What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?
If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.
Trimming Your Insoles to Fit
To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:
- Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
- Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
- Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
- Carefully cut along the traced line
- Your insoles should now fit your shoes better
Carefully trace the outline of your insole
Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
