About Us

Our Story

Mid Star Lab is a family-owned and operated custom orthotics company headquartered in the Midwest.

Founded in 1998, the company began as an orthotics wholesaler, supplying quality custom made inserts to podiatrists and other foot care providers.

The company expanded its services in 2011 and began offering diabetic shoes. Soon after this expansion, Mid Star Lab began servicing patients directly by adding certified orthotists & pedorthists to their staff. With locations in Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas, Mid Star Lab focuses on providing high-quality custom foot orthotics, and diabetic/ orthopedic shoes.

Kari Wagner-Bouse, one of the company’s founders, serves as the Principal CEO of Mid Star Lab. She is joined by her daughters, Jennifer Belcher and Kelsey Huber, who serve on both the executive and patient care team.

Our Technology

Sharp Shape Scanner

For anyone seeking top-tier custom foot orthotics or orthopedic insoles that truly make a difference, look no further. Our commitment at Mid Star Lab is to enhance your quality of life from the ground up.

With our steadfast commitment to embracing cutting-edge technology, we provide our clients with cost-effective, robust, and masterfully engineered custom orthotic solutions. Leveraging the esteemed Dr. Alex Shang’s Automated Orthotic Manufacturing System (AOMS), we achieve the exacting precision that addresses your orthotics foot condition. This sophisticated CAD/CAM system not only allows us to preserve your patient’s foot scans indefinitely but also guarantees perfect replication of custom orthotics with each additional pair crafted.

Utilizing the industry-leading Sharp Shape Scanner, we capture precise, 3D images of the foot in a non-weight bearing, neutral position. This advanced technology is celebrated for its unparalleled accuracy—measuring length, width, and arch to the nearest 1/1000th of an inch—and facilitating comprehensive visualizations, including both medial and lateral heel views. The Sharp Shape Scanner excels in sectional foot analysis, enabling precise evaluations of rearfoot and forefoot discrepancies.

Rest assured, we treat your scans like gold – securely storing digital casts for effortless reordering or creation of secondary pairs. Partner with us and witness significant savings; by bypassing traditional Plaster of Paris methods, your clinic could save between $1,000 to $10,000 annually on both time and materials.

Enrich your practice today by integrating the Sharp Shape Scanner, and benefit from increased efficiency and enhanced quality without impacting accuracy. For a detailed guide on how to optimize your orthopedic manufacturing process, and to address any particular foot condition with absolute competency, we invite you to request further information. Join forces with us—where superior quality meets innovation.
