Medical Corner

I am not a doctor, nor have I played one on TV.

I do however hear often, “I have plantar fasciitis”, “I have Achilles’ tendonitis” or “I have bone spurs”, to name a few.

Sometimes, we hear these comments from people that have been to one of our medical partners and received a medical diagnosis. Sometimes, they are self-diagnosed. If you are one of those that are self-diagnosing, we encourage you to visit one of our medical partners. Stay tuned for a link to a list of these partners on the medical partner page on the website.

Fitting you for shoes and insoles when you are injured or experiencing pain has been taken to the next level with our FitID and Pressure Plate technology. Hopefully, most of you have been fit using the FitID, the scanner that provides a static 3D image of your feet. Recently we have added a new machine that provides a dynamic scan of your feet.

This new technology shows exactly how much pressure you are putting on the bottom of your feet as you walk across it. Even if you don’t come in with a medical referral prescription, this scan can show where you are experiencing pain or discomfort as you move. This technology isn’t just for runners, anyone experiencing some type of pain or discomfort, can benefit from this scan. In addition to this technology, we have several other tools for prevention and recovery. Strassburg Socks for plantar fasciitis. Addaday rollers for Achilles tendinitis. IcyFeet to cool the feet after a long day on them.

Please stop in and experience this new way to fit you for great shoes and great insoles. We can show you the way we see your feet.
