Correcting foot alignment

A corrective alignment insole assembly for making a shoe correction for the alignment of a person's foot, comprising:

• a base insole in the general shape of a person's footprint having a lateral portion, a medial portion, and an arch stability portion, and adapted for correcting both pronation and supination in combination with at least one of at least one supination control pad, at least one pronation control pad, or at least one arch control pad;
• at least one supination control pad for adjusting the supination alignment of the person's foot;
• at least one pronation control pad for adjusting the pronation alignment of the person's foot;
• and
• at least one arch control pad for adjusting the support of the person's arch;
• wherein the at least one supination control pad, the at least one pronation control pad, and the at least one arch control pad are selected based upon a lateral angular alignment measurement of the person's foot.

A subtalar joint inclinometer for measuring the lateral angular alignment of a person's foot when the person is in a standing position, comprising:

• a base having a first portion adapted to be positioned beneath the heel of a person in a standing position and a second portion orthogonal with respect to the first portion and adapted to be placed adjacent to the Achilles tendon of the person whose heel is positioned on the base first portion;
• a heel alignment member adapted to be positioned on the heel of the person whose heel is positioned on the base first portion;
• and
• a protractor scale indicia on one of the base second portion and the heel alignment member and a reference line indicia on the other of the base second portion and the heel alignment member, wherein the reference line indicia is aligned with a zero position on the protractor scale indicia when the person's heel has a zero angular alignment and is adapted to indicate on the protractor scale indicia the degree of angular deviation of the person's foot from zero angular alignment.
