orthotics

A physical therapist recommended for me to get orthotics for my ice skates. Does anyone know of a good orthotist in the northeast?

thanks!

You'd be best to go back to your skate fitter, who will have the right sort to go inside ice skates.

My customs were made w/ orthotic soles. They are great. They were made from a mould of my foot. Cannot say enough good about them.

This won't help if you already have boots, but Klingbeil's custom boots do orthotic soles. You step into a tray of green foam (like the stuff they put plants in) and they do a mold from there. Really comfortable, even for people with "normal" feet.
