Insole Testimonials
"I have suffered from heel spurs and planter facitis for 10 years. I
have spent hundreds of dollars on orthopedic insoles that have done
nothing. I was just about to give up on running, when I saw your product
and said 'what the hell, nothing else works!' I was wrong, they are
awesome! I wear them in my running shoes, work boots and regular
everyday shoes. Thank you!"
Sergeant Andrew Garcia - Los Angeles Police Department
"Thank you
very much for your Flat Feet arch supports. At 43 years of age, my
running had been limited by my daily plantar fasciitis and knee pain
during and following my training runs. While attending the "Runners'
Fair" the evening prior to the Chicago Marathon, one of your staff (a
slender blond lady) advised that I try the Flat Feet arch supports. She
insisted that I NOT try them for the first time during the marathon the
next day. However, I was desperate, and against my better judgement, I
did, indeed, wear them for the first time during the marathon. Not only
did I clip 15 minutes off my best time in the marathon, I ran entirely
pain-free for the first time since I was a teenager. I experienced the
expected fatigue in my calves and quads, but it by no means was painful
or incapacitating. The following morning, I had absolutely no pain in my
arches. Thank you for extending the running life of this
ultra-marathoner-to-be."
Jay Fawver, M.D. - Fort Wayne, Indiana
"I have finally found the best product on the internet! I bought a
pair of your insoles a couple of weeks ago for work. After trying
everything in order to keep my feet comfortable, I came across your web
site set for people with flat feet. Why not? Why not try. If it's a
gimmick, oh well, I lost just a little bit of money. Well, glad to say,
it isn't a waste, I'm ordering 2 more pairs for my other day to day
shoes."

"I use to work out running three miles easily, but once pain
developed in my feet, I basically gave up because running was too
overbearing. I gained weight, and felt completely lost for the past two
years. I started jogging again, but I could only develop tolerance for
the pain. Hoping for any type of support, I ordered your product. I
admit, I was unsure about the insoles. They looked rather flimsy for
something that cost over $30. But after trying them, playing basketball
and jogging again, I have to admit that this product is a godsend.
Instead of hauling two miles with frequent pain, I can go four miles
with minimal pain. Besides reducing most to all of the pain, the
recovery time is top notch. Thank you very much."
Jimmy Nguyen
"On October 25, 2000 I came to your office for treatment of heel
pain. I had been treating this for over a year with a podiatrist who had
given me three cortisone shots with no relief. I had been taking
800-1200 mg of Advil to help with the pain which only took the edge off
of it. At that point in time I was disappointed and resolved if I needed
surgery to remove the bone spur (caused by high arches), I wanted you to
do it. You recommended that I try your heel inserts for about 5 or 6
weeks to see if this gave me some relief. I want to tell you that I am
almost pain free at this point in time. Within 5 weeks I was down to a
pain scale of 1, 10 being the highest, and I was probably around 9 when
I came to see you. I can wear shoes without the inserts part of the time
without any discomfort but I do try to use them for the most part. I
have recently begun a moderate walking program which for over a year I
could not have even considered. I will recommend these inserts to anyone
I encounter with heel pain. Thank you so much for helping me to recover
from this chronic pain."
Rita Meighen
"I just received my flat foot inserts three days ago. In
successive days I: 1)walked four miles, 2)ran six miles, and 3)walked
twelve miles. My chronic sacro-iliac pain and low back pain almost
disappeared. I've been a runner for thirty years with twenty marathons
completed. Six months ago I quit regular running because of the pain and
started physical therapy. I walked, swam, and biked because it hurt
less. I'm looking forward to resuming running with the flat foot
inserts; something that custom orthotics could not help me do. My wife
now wants a pair. How could I say no!! So far they are great."
S.L. Contract
"Just to let you know that I did receive the insoles for my son.
They do indeed fit perfectly and he loves the way his legs feel now.
When he plays his sports he now says he does not experience any pain in
his legs and he's only been wearing them for a few days. I've watched
and massaged my son's knees a lot as he's grown through life and taken
him to doctors who always told me he had growing pains. I am happy to
see my son for once enjoying what he loves best without any pain. I have
this company bookmarked and will continue to order more of this product
as needed. I appreciate the help you gave me as well as the promptness
in which I received the insoles. I am very happy I found this company."
Odette Tremblay - Computer Technician
"I am a chiropractor and have been wearing your doctor sample. I
have been very happy with the solution from my problem at long last.
Other orthotic products have created knee torsion problems. I am
purchasing this for my father. Please forward more info on your product
to my office."
Dr. Youngerman, D.C.
"I purchased a pair of your flat foot inserts at the Boston
Marathon Expo in '99, and have run more in the last year and a half than
I EVER have, because my knees no longer hurt. I'm thinking it's time to
replace them, can I do that over the phone? Also at that expo in the
same booth you sold "sized" socks which I also loved. Where can I
purchase more of those? Thanks so much."
Kelly R. Green
"Thank you for your excellent product. My Flat Foot insoles are
more comfortable than any previous insoles, including several different
pairs of athletic insoles, some with arch support and some without. By
not exaggerating the arch, your product feels much more natural. I play
a lot of squash, and pound my feet very hard, and these are the best
relief yet."
Zach Leber
"The inserts helped to relieve the pain in my feet, knees and
lower back. They're soft enough to be comfortable, yet firm enough to
support and compensate my feet. The Flat Foot inserts continue to work
well. Here I am atop Mt. Soraksen in northeast Korea. They got me up,
down and around Korea very comfortably."
Ann Bauer - One of the many patients of Dr. Pryce who have benefited
from the inserts.
"I recently purchased a pair of insoles from you. I have been
wearing them for 4 days now. I must tell you that my feet have not felt
better in about 3 years. I was even able to stand at work all day. It
sure is nice to be able to go to work and still be able to do things
when I get home. I have purchased custom orthotics twice in the past 3
years. That cost me approx. $400.00. Your insoles beat theirs 'hands
(feet) down.' THANK YOU!!!!!!!!"
RG – Akron, Ohio
"I am writing to tell you how happy I am with your insoles. On two
separate occasions I have had professionally fitted orthotics. Both were
rigid and intolerable to wear. In addition to being flat-footed, I have
traumatic arthritis in my left ankle. Prior to purchasing your insoles,
I thought surgery was the only option for the constant pain when I
walked. To my surprise and happiness, both my feet and my left ankle
have quit hurting. Your insoles are a God-send."
MY – Mogadore, Ohio
"After many years of problems related to plantar facea, I tried a
lot of shoe inserts, but the problems persisted. I was resigned to
living with the pain forever. Then Dr. Pryce suggested that I try his
Flat Foot inserts. After only one week my heel pain was gone. I have
been wearing them for three months now and my heel pain has not
returned. These are by far the best inserts I have ever tried. It is
great to be free of pain and to have found a product that lives up to
its claims. Thank you Dr. Pryce."
TP – Ravenna, Ohio
"I received the inserts and wore them for a day and then ordered
two more pairs. I feel like there is less weight on my heels and that my
gait is a more forward and shorter process, resulting in less strain on
my body. My back doesn't hurt when I take long walks now. Thanks for
this wonderful product."
JM – Patterson, Louisiana
"I own a pair of your inserts and have been quite pleased. I am a
runner with flat feet and was a prior orthotics wearer. After wearing
your inserts, my lower back no longer is stiff and sore after my runs.
Keep up the good work!!!"
GC – Fremont, Ohio
"I've had your Flat Foot inserts now for almost three weeks now,
and I love them. They are comfortable, lightweight, and supportive. I'm
on the track team (high school) and I have already gotten a PR running
with them! They are the best inserts I have ever had! Thanks Again!!!!"
EW – Fort Bragg, California
"Today I received my Flat Foot® insoles in the mail, and my feet
are in HEAVEN!! I came home from work with them aching from a long day
on my hard plastic arch supports inside my shoes. I was happy to see
there was no 'wearing schedule' with these. That should have been one of
many clues with my other insoles. My doctor told me I needed arch
supports and to get some HARD ones, with leather and metal, at the
store. I couldn't find any, so she sent me to a foot clinic. They fixed
me up with a nasty pair of hard white plastic things with a wearing
schedule of one hour the first day, two the second, and so on. [This was
to slowly adjust to the PAIN they caused.] These plastic insoles only
covered the heel and arch area. My tender areas, the joints under my big
toes, were now hitting on nothing! Your (insole) arrived shortly
thereafter and not a moment too soon! I am amazed by how misinformed
these 'professionals' are. It's scary!! Thank you very much. I am glad I
went web surfing the day I discovered yours on the internet!!"
GP – Charlottesville, Virginia
"I would like to order another (pair of) Flat Foot insoles.
They're wonderful. They've helped me to avoid sore muscles for a year
now. I look forward to receiving the pair of insoles as soon as
possible."
SL – Lakewood, Colorado
"I am a 40 year old postal worker and was having problems with my
right foot and ankle, so I went to Dr. Pryce. I was diagnosed with
ruptured tendon in my foot and ankle. Dr. Pryce suggested I get a brace
to wear. I had one made for my foot and it helped, then I tried the Flat
Foot inserts developed by Dr. Pryce and I no longer wear the brace. I
not only wear them in my work shoes, but I wear them in my dress shoes
and in my casual shoes. I am very pleased with the inserts. I have tried
other inserts that really did nothing for my feet. Not only do these
inserts help my foot problem, but at the end of the day my back no
longer aches."
MM – Akron, Ohio
"I wanted to let you know that I have been so completely pleased
with the insoles! I have been running for over ten years but I've always
had problems with my shins and knees because I pronate significantly. I
have tried it all! Sports medicine specialists, expensive orthotics and
every motion-control shoe on the market have not enabled me to run
injury free. I finally concluded that I would need to limit my mileage
in order to prevent injuries... and then I bought the FlatFoot insoles
at the Revco-Cleveland Marathon. Although I was skeptical about buying
another device with all of it's promises, I purchased the insoles and
was thoroughly delighted. The insoles are extremely comfortable, fit
easily into all of my shoes, and don't cause blisters! When my regular
orthopedic doctor took a look at the insoles, I could tell that he was
impressed, but he still tried to sell me his uncomfortable,
custom-molded, $400 inserts. No, thank you. Since purchasing the insoles
(and allowing my stress fracture to heal), I have been able to increase
my mileage and get back into marathon training. I am so appreciative of
your product and will certainly encourage my over-pronating friends to
try the insoles as well. Thank you so much and congratulations on the
development of an excellent insole!"

OT -Saskatchewan Canada
"Just ordered 2 new pairs of insoles. I would like to recommend
that you advertise (?) on heelspurs.com, or at least get a mention in
the products section. I have plantar fasciitis and yours are the only
shoe inserts that have worked so far, and I know you could help others
by getting mentioned over there, permanently. My last pair lasted for a
year. Which is pretty good, the store bought ones don't last very long,
and orthotics from the Dr. didn't help me at all."
Shaira Goldstein
"My 12-year old son, Allen, has severely pronated feet. After
watching him suffer from tired legs and feet, I decided to 'find'
something to try that wasn't too costly. Since he hasn't finished
growing, I was told by his doctor that nothing medically could be done
until he had finished growing. Allen has been using the Flat Foot
inserts since mid-December 1998 and has made remarkable, almost
unbelievable, progress. Basketball practice started the first of
October, and he has not complained once of pain in his feet, legs, or
hips!!!!! Furthermore, his walking and running are no longer labored,
and his reflex movements are faster. This time last year, he was in
terrible pain and was very slow in the drills the players would perform
during basketball practice. He was VERY discouraged, and I could tell
that he thought about quitting several times. Allen is so thrilled with
the inserts, and so are the rest of us! Thank you!"
LD - Harriman, Tennessee
"I wanted to give your Flat Sole product a real test before giving
you a reply. To be honest I've tried some other products without much
success, so my expectations were fairly low. To my very pleasant
surprise, I can tell you that I've added many more miles to my weekly
routine and experienced less knee pain. Sometimes, before using your
product, knee pain/soreness would put me off the street for weeks at a
time. I've not missed a workout since Flat Foot Insoles."
Allen - Wilmington, NC
"Thank you for the pair of Flat Foot insoles. I have put them to
work in a pair of tennis shoes and have already improved my ability
because this morning I was a three sets to none victor. If this kind of
endorsement were available from Pete Sampras it would be worth a
fortune. You may use mine, however, no charge. Seriously they are very
comfortable and seem to do as good a job, with a softer feel, than my
much more expensive prescribed plastic inserts."
