One Small Step For Man, One Giant Leap Toward Comfort

Our feet and ankles contain 26 bones, 33 joints and over 100 muscles. But even with such complex interactions, keeping them comfortable normally requires just two key factors:

• Proper shoe fit
   
• Appropriate support

However, in order to achieve proper support, one must understand the mechanics of your step, which includes three basic phases:

1. Heel Strike	2. Mid-Stance	3. Toe-Off

It is vital that your foot be properly supported and held straight during all three phases of the step. If your feet are not supported and in sequence, you body will try to compensate, leading to problems with your feet, ankles, legs, knees, and back.

At Foot Solutions, our trained professionals use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to evaluate your feet and recommend products – appropriate footwear, custom arch supports, and other foot care accessories – that will properly support them during the activities you enjoy. Proper support allows your weight to be distributed equally across each foot’s full length, helping reduce foot pain and other conditions that cause discomfort.

The right sized shoes are critical to keeping feet comfortable. Most people think they know their correct length size, but we’ve found that this is often incorrect. At Foot Solutions, we measure both feet using a variety of methods to assure proper shoe length, as well as proper width and height. All three measurements are essential to foot comfort.

At Foot Solutions, we can even perform custom shoe modifications to make sure proper sizing and support are achieved for the exact shape of your feet.
