Ben Johns’ Pickleball Orthotics Launch: Foot Solutions has teamed up with pickleball star Ben Johns to create a 3D printed custom orthotic for pickleball players. The new product will be available starting May 5, 2025, at all U.S. Foot Solutions locations and select stores in Canada. No appointment is necessary, though encouraged.
A New Step in Pickleball Gear
Foot Solutions, a U.S.-based footwear and orthotics retailer, has worked with Ben Johns, the world’s top pickleball player, to build a foot support made just for the sport. The product includes custom materials and features chosen by Johns himself.
Customers who want the orthotics will get an in-person foot and gait check, a digital scan of their feet, and a design made for their body.
John Prothro, CEO of Foot Solutions, said, “Ben Johns is the GOAT of pickleball, and he’s known for precision and excellence. Because Ben is also a material science engineer, he is the perfect partner to create a solution for pickleball players to stay comfortable and healthy on their feet.”
From Testing to Launch
Johns has used Foot Solutions orthotics for years and helped test this new product over several months.
Ben Johns said, “I have been a regular user of Foot Solutions custom orthotics since I visited my local store a few years ago. This new product is a result of several months of testing and revisions working alongside Foot Solutions experts. The result is a 3D printed custom orthotic designed to improve performance–especially balance and movement–and alleviate the pain, fatigue, and injury associated with pickleball.”
The company has served customers for 25 years and is known for solving foot and joint pain. Many doctors refer patients to Foot Solutions. Its stores receive strong customer reviews.
A Step Toward Better Play
This new product helps meet growing needs in pickleball. As the sport grows, players want gear that protects their bodies and improves play. The custom orthotic could become a go-to solution for both casual and serious players. It focuses on comfort, balance, and preventing foot issues.
