Welcome to Partnership Fabrication Systems (PFS), affectionately known as "Richey Lab." We are the first and only BAPFOL-accredited foot orthosis lab in Virginia. We expertly fabricate foot orthoses, shoe modifications, shoe repair, custom shoes, and also perform contract research and prototype development for foot and ankle researchers.

Our name symbolizes our philosophy -- to work in partnership with our medical practitioner customers to create the finest orthopedic devices available. Our friendly staff is eager to meet the specific needs of our customers.

Our logo emphasizes our belief that the foot orthosis, the shoe and the shoe modification work together in partnership to support the foot and ankle. We make orthopedic devices for the patients of doctors, physical therapists, pedorthists, and other medical professionals.

We specialize in accommodative, semi-rigid, and functional foot orthoses. Click here to see a listing and description of our foot orthoses.

PFS is part of Richey & Co. -- one of the largest pedorthic companies in the United States. Richey & Co. was founded in 1938, and has been making foot orthoses since the 1970's.

Consumers: Sorry -- we are not set up to take consumer calls -- we encourage you to call your doctor or physical therapist or, if you live in the Mid-Atlantic United States, to call one of our stores and ask for a pedorthist who can help you with your questions.
