Superb foot orthotics that are made from premium material and fabricated properly, not made from a foot-type library. Highly recommended by our local podiatrists as well. Kevin runs the place like a well oiled machine and he is always available to answer calls or emails even while running the lab. Very knowledgeable Pedorthists on staff. The turn around time is unmatched as well! We love Rx Orthotics.

The Richie Brace is a specialized orthopedic brace designed to support the foot and ankle. It’s commonly prescribed by podiatrists and orthopedic specialists for people with tendon injuries, instability, or structural foot problems.
Benefits of wearing a Richie Brace:
1. Improved Foot and Ankle Stability 🦶
The brace stabilizes the ankle joint and limits excessive motion. This helps prevent the foot from rolling inward or outward, which is especially helpful for people with Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction or chronic ankle instability.
2. Reduces Pain and Inflammation 💊
By supporting the arch and controlling foot alignment, the brace reduces stress on injured tendons and ligaments. Many patients experience less pain when walking or standing.
3. Helps Correct Foot Alignment
The Richie Brace helps guide the foot into a more natural position, which can be beneficial for conditions such as Flatfoot. Proper alignment improves overall biomechanics during movement.
4. Allows Continued Mobility 🚶
Unlike a rigid cast, the brace allows users to walk normally while protecting the injured structures. It fits inside many shoes, making daily activities easier.
5. Prevents Condition Progression
In cases like PTTD, early use of the brace can slow or prevent worsening deformity by supporting the arch and reducing strain on the tendon.
6. Customizable Fit
Many Richie Braces are custom-made or semi-custom, meaning they are tailored to a patient’s foot shape and medical condition for better comfort and effectiveness.
7. Alternative to Surgery ⚕️
For some patients, wearing a Richie Brace can delay or even eliminate the need for surgical treatment by providing long-term structural support.

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
Adult-acquired flatfoot
