Welcome to The Walking Lab, where custom orthotics, foot health, footwear and 3D-printing technology come together.

I'm Kristopher Ketchum, a Certified Pedorthist with nearly 20 years of experience helping people find better comfort, support and mobility. On this channel, I share practical information about custom orthotics, foot and gait analysis, plantar fasciitis, foot pain, arch problems, footwear, shoe fitting and 3D-printed orthotics.

You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how custom orthotics are designed using digital foot scanning, CAD design and 3D-printing technology.

Whether you're dealing with foot pain, looking for better footwear, considering custom orthotics, or simply want to understand how your feet affect the way you move, you're in the right place.

The Walking Lab serves Southwest Michigan, with local in-person services and virtual consultations available outside the local area.
