Welcome to our new unique patented world-wide Crown Medical Orthotics (CMO).

We understand that each individual has their own unique biomechanical condition, and our orthotics are specifically designed to address these differences. Crown Medical Orthotics empower practitioners to customise and prescribe orthotics based on each patient’s specific biomechanical needs.

The Crown Medical Orthotic (CMO) ‘Thermal Heat Moulding’ (THM) device is carefully crafted using premium Elastic Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EEVA), ensuring the highest quality. Our orthotic Laboratory conducts extensive design and testing, subjecting the product to numerous evaluations to deliver optimal outcomes for practitioners and patients alike. Thanks to THM technology, we have the capability to customise Crown Medical Orthotics to suit each patient’s unique condition, incorporating appropriate external additions to accommodate their specific prescription requirements.

THE WIDE LOAD DIFFERENCE

Since its release in 2009, WIDE LOAD® has become the benchmark in wide fitting extra depth safety footwear.
Designed and developed in Sydney Australia in collaboration with leading orthopaedic/custom made shoemakers and Podiatrists*, the WIDE LOAD® last is based on 6E fitting profile with an additional 8mm of volume of forefoot girth. The perfect foot is hard to find, and some say one does not really exist. It is true however, that some injuries and foot trauma is more likely to be associated with incorrectly designed or poorly fitted safety footwear.

Wide Load boots are designed and manufactured with a wide profile steel/composite cap that has been specifically designed to meet the needs of those with wide feet, it is 12-15mm wider and 5mm higher than the industry ‘standard’, thus facilitating the fitting of custom-made orthotics and more importantly, challenging feet.

The anatomically designed forefoot provides an additional 15% “footprint” compared to the industry standard. This additional surface area combined with the self-cleaning cleat design outsole provides maximum stability and enhanced slip resistance. Walking can increase ground forces by up to 3 times body weight. The Wide Load bevelled heel strike and heel cushion zone helps reduce shock and lesson the effects of these forces on the body. The foot is a complex structure containing 26 bones, a network of muscles, joints and ligaments. A fiberglass shank in all Wide Load boots is incorporated to enhance torsional rigidity and support in the waist of the boot. The shank also assists the forefoot to flex in the correct position.

The new airport friendly composite cap range is 10% (150 grams) lighter than its steel cap counterpart and incorporates high performance ‘nylon6’ non-metallic lace hardware. The cap provides less transmission of hot and cold while achieving “steel-like” safety for impact and compression. The cap meets all safety standards without compromising comfort.
