What is the background of the Perfect Foot Corrector™  Orthotic?
The original mold was developed by a German physiologist named George Alzner in 1948. Since that time the Orthotic has gone through a slight design change based on feedback from many customers. A Mr. Hants White, from Maine, perfected the support after selling the original design for a number of years. The design was not only updated, but the material has been changed to a proprietary blend of several materials that gives maximum support with some flexibility that will last for many years, unlike most Orthotics. A less aggressive support has been designed as well for those who have diabetes or sensitive feet. We are getting a 92% to 93% success rate, which is remarkable in this industry!

Are The Orthotics Hard?
The orthotics offer a stong support base, but they are not stiff and hard. These supports allow the foot to function with the needed support, but still allow the foot to move with some flexibility. Also, we have cushions that soften the step shock even more, as you are adjusting to wearing the orthotics. We have a Soft Moleskin Cushion, as well as a Thicker Foot Cushion that aid in more comfort with the soft cushioning that they provide.

What are my options if the Orthotic does not work for me?
We offer a three month trial period.  If during this period you feel that a size      adjustment is needed or a different level of support is required, we work with you.  If we cannot totally satisfy you, at the end of the three months trial period we offer a 50% money back guarantee or a 100% online store credit, for shoes or any other foot related products that we offer.

Are other supports I see on TV the same as you are offering?
No, they are not the exact shape or made of the same materials. . As most people understand, you get what you pay for! Two houses can look the same but the cost difference can be $100,000 for the same house because of the workmanship and the materials it is made of. You wouldn't purchase a mouth appliance designed for someone else if you wanted to correct your overbite. You wouldn't purchase prescription eyeglasses designed for someone else, if you wanted to correct your vision. So why purchase a generic support that only offers 11 general sizes to fit every foot on the globe?

Also, the idea of fitting supports to the individual according to their shoe size many times is not correct.  It is very common that the arch size and shoe size are not the same.  In addition, a person can have a different size support on each foot, because their arches are not the same. What we do at Foot-O-Pedics is custom fit the arch support to your feet. We have 21 different sizes to work with and we also offer two different levels of support if one is too firm or too soft. If the sizing is not perfect for you the first time, we will resize you. If a change in the level of support is needed, we will correct that as well. We will work with you until the appliance is right for you. If we are not able to size our supports to your foot we will then advise you to see a Podiatrist. Our personal goal is the well being of all hurting people.

I am a diabetic, can I use the Perfect Foot Corrector™ ?
Yes, we have the middle range support that most any diabetic can use. It has more flexibility so that it contours with the foot more easily then the more aggressive orthotic. (However, there are varying factors that would allow a diabetic to wear the stronger support as well. With our mail order kit, we have a questionnaire form enclosed which gives us additional information about you).
We also offer a soft moleskin cushion as well as a thicker foot cushion which makes the adjustment more comfortable and also keeps the support from slipping.

How old do you have to be before you can size a young person?
We have sized people as young as 7 years old that have good size feet. Our sizes start at size 3 women's size and go up to size 14 or 15. If the child's foot can fit in one of our molds the system will work great for them. Instead of having a mold done of the foot, we can custom fit the foot and the child has a chance to try them on to see how he or she likes them. We offer a $35.00 discount to young people whose feet are still growing because they will need to be re-fitted in a few years. This is an exceptional device to keep your children's feet and bodies in proper alignment.

What about the insoles I can purchase at a drug store for under $20.00?
These insoles are not strong enough to hold up for very long, especially if you are overweight. They are good shock absorbers for 3 or 4 months, but do not take the place of a full support system that actually changes the structure of your feet, and offers support to the arches supplying stability. If you have minor foot problems they can work for some people, but, they will wear down and need to be replaced over and over again, just like the tires on a car. With the Perfect Foot Corrector™ , you get maximum support for many years. If you have a problem with the support, we give you a new one. This product offers you a great long term value for your hard earned dollars. The manufacturer stands behind his product with your lifetime warranty. If you have a problem, you return the support to Foot-O-Pedics, we will replace your support and the manufacturer replaces our support.

How can one mold solve so many foot ailments?
The Perfect Foot Corrector™  is molded to be like the perfect foot. It is a neutral appliance that supports the four arches of the human foot and positions all the bones, ligaments, muscles and tendons of a human foot into proper place, taking the pressure off the balls of your feet, toes, and heel. Also it gives the individual a strong longitudinal support. The mold will change your foot to help correct the problems.

How do the feet relate to the other problems that I have with my ankles, knee, hip, back and shoulder pains?
Structural imbalance of the foot causes the heel to roll, ankle and leg to turn, the shin becomes more prominent, the tendons become displaced. Result, the muscles and ligaments are forced to work harder and longer and out of step with other muscle groups, keeping the bones and joints improperly aligned throughout the body.
