A small practice with its own insole workshop.
Yfke Huisman started the practice in 2011, on Voorbeeldstraat. She wanted a place where you don’t walk out after ten minutes with a standard insole. That is why we measure first, make the insoles ourselves and you see the same podiatrist again at the follow-up check.
Why we work this way
Most complaints are not complicated. But they do need a good look. That is why we set aside forty-five minutes for a first assessment, not twenty.
And because we make the insoles ourselves, Dorien can adjust them the same day if something pinches. No sending away, no waiting for weeks.

The workshop
A 3D scanner, a milling machine, a sanding machine and a long workbench with glue, leather and cork.
Every insole starts as a block of EVA. The machine mills the shape from your scan, then Dorien finishes it by hand: sanding until it fits your shoe, adding the corrections, covering it with the top layer.
- Design and milling in-house
- Adjustments while you wait
- Leftover material goes to a recycling company
