So he hasn't changed his process, then.
Having gone through the custom shoe buying process multiple times, the best way to get a good result is with a plaster mold of your feet.
I had no issues with the orthotics Don made - they were great. The challenges I had were with the 3D shaping of my feet and getting the toe box shape correct.
