Abstract: A foot orthotic (10) that more effectively supports and stabilizes a person's foot (14) and improves the person's balance so as to reduce tripping and falling. The orthotic device (10) includes several layers of material that are bonded together to cooperatively provide the optimum amount of support and stabilization for different areas of the wearer's foot (14). The orthotic (10) includes a bottom layer (16) that extends substantially the entire length of the wearer's foot (14) and that is placed over the insole of the wearer's footwear; a top layer (20) that also extends substantially the length of the wearer's foot and that receives and supports the plantar portion of the foot; and an intermediate layer (18) that is bonded between the bottom layer and the top layer. The orthotic (10) is configured to elevate the toes of the wearer and thereby enhance balance stabilization.
