Success Stories
Ankle Pain
"I am a RN and am on my feet 12 hours a day multiple days a week. I started having ankle pain and went to my doctor, did physical therapy, etc, with no relief. A friend I worked with suggested Ideal Feet, and of course I was skeptical, but hey why not.
When I got there, the staff was excellent; they had great customer service skills and were able to demonstrate to me why and how their product works. I have used them for years now with no more ankle pain! I can go for 12+ hour shifts and still be fine at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this store for anyone with any kind of foot pain!" Dallas M., San Antonio, Texas
"I have always had pain in my left foot. I felt as though something was seriously wrong with it! I had trouble walking, running or even standing at times. I had no arches, and it felt as though the bones in my foot were misaligned! So, after many and many years of suffering and getting no help from Dr's, I went to Ideal Feet! OMG! I walked out feeling as though my feet weren't even touching the ground! Seriously! I’m not even joking or exaggerating! My husband even said I walk like a girl now!! I felt as though I could FLY! I not only had all the horrible foot pain, but also I have a bad back and scoliosis! I gave birth to a beautiful angel 5 years ago and he was born with Spina Bifida. He didn’t start walking till he was 3 1/2 years old. So basically I carried him everywhere! He now has a prosthetic foot and his clubbed foot has been fixed but still it put such a toll on my body that by 5pm every day I was pretty much bed-ridden because of the pain my body felt. So here's the good news! Six months ago I went to ideal feet...and today I am a new woman!!!! =) No pain ANYWHERE on my body! Not my feet, back, knees, neck. My headaches are gone! My nerves are no longer pinched in my spine and I even sleep better! I would recommend ideal feet for EVERYONE!!! My dad is about to go and I know my mother in law is going to go for a visit soon also! I recently started working after being a stay at home mom to care for my disabled son, and I can just say that I couldn't be more grateful to Ideal Feet for their healing arch supports! I don't know where I would be today without them! THANK YOU IDEAL FEET FOR LITERALLY SAVING MY LIFE! AND BODY!" Julie N., Broken Arrow, Ok
“I have had foot pain, particularly in my right foot for quite some time. In 1990 I fell off a ladder and broke both of my ankles. This caused an alignment issue due to my right foots ankle being fused. I also have had both my knees replaced and this may have also contributed to my current foot pains. I've used spring-soled shoes, had nerves deadened, and have had calluses continually shaved down. I’ve done all of this in order to relieve the pain. After having heard Ideal Feet commercials for it seems years, I decided to stop and see what you had to offer. You were very helpful in not only telling me what to expect and after fitting me you demonstrated to me by the balance exercise you do, what you did for my standing equilibrium and balance. I now have been using my Ideal Feet inserts for about two months and have not experienced the pain and discomfort I had previously experienced. Thanks for your help and I hope this encourages other people to try your product and walk without pain.” Bill B. Plano, Tx
“I walked into Ideal Feet limping, having difficulty walking, in pain and swollen ankles. This was going on for over a year. I had even stopped doing my daily (3-4 miles) walk. I thought I would NEVER be able to walk normal again. I became depressed. I had gone to the doctor where I was given pain medicine, injections, physical therapy, wore a boot for 3 months, and he even wanted to do surgery. I refused the surgery! Then I came to Ideal Feet, where I was fitted with these inserts and my life has changed. I think back to almost one year ago, when I fell due to the pain I am blessed that I didn’t break my hip, arm, or neck I just had a purple and blue face/eyes for one month. I thank God for my inserts, I was treated wonderful here, and most importantly I have my life back. Although I have only worn my inserts for less than a week and feel absolutely great! No pain, no swelling, I can walk, hop, and be normal again. I am very grateful for the attention I received here and the healing of my feet. Thank God first and Ideal Feet for giving me my life back. I highly recommend this to anyone who feels what I used to feel.” Manvela, El Paso, TX
"The pain in my feet and ankles had been increasing with my age and weight. We heard your advertisements and after much urging from my dear husband (!!), we went into your store and now, I am thrilled to say, I have a lot of my mobility back! Pain-free is wonderful! Just returned from a vacation of a lifetime and was able to sight see, shop and climb onto and off tour buses and trains with considerable ease. Your great staff have stayed in contact with me ever since---and I am most impressed with their caring attitude! You can be sure I will be your stanchest advocate in spreading the good word about Ideal Feet!!!! God bless you." Anne, San Antonio, TX
Arthritis
"Ideal Feet has made it possible to walk without pain-When I came in my left foot was in terrible pain when walking on a hard surface - I walked out - almost in tears - because I could walk without the joints of my left foot hurting" Betty B., Arlington, TX
Athletes
“I am a road cyclist who has for years tried to find a solution for the hot spots on my feet when I pedal. I’ve bought every orthotic available, wider shoes, and different pedals.Nothing worked until I went to Ideal Feet. Now for the first time, my feet are not in pain when I ride.”William, Arlington, TX
Bunions
“I was diagnosed with bunions and my feet hurt when I walk. I learned that my feet were not balanced and it was causing my bunions. After purchasing my Ideal Feet arch supports, my feet feel great and my bunions are no longer a problem.” Crystal W., Plano, TX
Calluses
“I have had foot pain, particularly in my right foot for quite some time. In 1990 I fell off a ladder and broke both of my ankles. This caused an alignment issue due to my right foots ankle being fused. I also have had both my knees replaced and this may have also contributed to my current foot pains. I've used spring-soled shoes, had nerves deadened, and have had calluses continually shaved down. I've done all of this in order to relieve the pain. I now have been using my Ideal Feet inserts for about two months and have not experienced the pain and discomfort I had previously experienced. Thanks for your help and I hope this encourages other people to try your product and walk without pain.” Bill B. Plano, Tx
Chronic Back Pain
“I brought my better half to the store to see if she could get some relief from her hip pain, she was fitted with the inserts and could walk without the cane. She was so excited that she told me to try some for my come and go back pain, I did, I wore them for a couple of hours the first day and have been wearing them constantly from day 2 and haven’t felt any back pain since. They are as great as the ad says they are! “ Adolph G., Little Rock, AR
“Since I have tried the arch supports, I have felt much relief, and no pain. When I started to wear my Ariel Brooks shoes with the arch supports, I have felt my lower back changing and less pressure on my heels and arches. I continue to wear my trainers on a daily basis and still feel great. I am glad to know that if I need any adjustments, I can go and make those adjustments at no charge. Thank you Ideal feet.” Olivia A., San Antonio, Tx
“I am very happy with my inserts they work great and my feet and back are much better now.” Stacy, Louisville, KY
“It feels great to have my arches lifted up, supporting my feet so they don’t feel so tired at the end of the day. My posture is improved, which has helped my lower back pain.” Jane, Arlington, TX
“When I first came in I could hardly put pressure on my right foot. When I left, I was able to walk normal with no pain. I did what my sales person told me to do with the inserts the rest of the day. I had back pain too, but when I woke up the next morning, there was no pain in my back. Ideal Feet really works.” Jerry, Arlington, TX
“I have used the Ideal Feet inserts over a year now and I cannot wear shoes without them! They have helped my back pain immensely and my pain management specialist was very interested – he even wrote down all the information! Back shots of steroids last only 2 weeks but the inserts are helpful all the time. This system works and I’ve recommended it to all my friends.” Cynthia, San Antonio, TX
“Ideal Feet arch supports are great! I feel better from my feet to my head. I had knee, back, hip, and shoulder pain. Now the pain is gone and I can walk for hours and hours. The best investment for me and my feet!” Anthony, Plano, TX
“When I first came to Ideal Feet, I was in pain. I was on my feet all day as a waiter, and I had a very sharp pain in the center of my right foot. My father gave me this as a birthday present, and within a couple of weeks I no longer had any pain in my feet or back! I now can work my 10-hour days again. A great birthday present! “ Garrett J., Plano, TX
“Since I purchased the orthotics … my knee pain is almost non-existent, my heels definitely do not hurt and my chronic back pain has been virtually eliminated. If you suffer from these types of chronic conditions, spend the money to invest in a product that will change the way your body will feel. The bottom line is these things work. I feel more active because my body does not hurt, and believe it or not as far as pain, most of it was gone in the first full day of wearing these products. Thank you very much for your expert knowledge and help.” Carlos, San Antonio, TX
“As a retail manager, I am always on my feet. I’ve experienced feet, heel, back and hip pain for years. The first day I wore them I could feel a difference. And everyday it gets better. I never thought something so small could make such a big difference. Thanks for the help and relief.” Deb, San Antonio, TX
“I have been using the Ideal Feet inserts for a little over a year and I no longer have sore feet or lower back pain. I feel less tired at the end of the day because of Ideal Feet. The insoles are definitely a good investment. I would recommend Ideal Feet to anyone.” Paul, Louisville, KY
"I heard the Ideal Feet commercials on the radio for months and then ran into a friend who had purchased the orthotics. He was very pleased with the results so I decided I would give them a try. I had spinal fusion a year ago and have been recovering with some lingering pain. I pronate both feet and the heels of all my shoes show uneven wear. I have been wearing my Ideal Feet orthotics for almost a month now and my back pain has eased and my feet no longer pronate. I recommend anyone with joint pain to see the friendly staff at Ideal Feet. Thanks for your help and advice." Jerry S., Louisville, KY
"My name is Lori and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 7 months ago and I have looked high and low for something, anything to help my back pain and couldn't find anything that would help me in my day to day life. I took a trip back home and my step dad told me about a place called Ideal Feet. He said " I bet that would help your back." And so my mom took me over there and I met Jennifer. She told me how it would align my back and help me stand up straight. So as skeptical as I was I still wanted to try anything. Jennifer put the inserts in my shoes and instantly my back was straighter than its ever been. As I broke them in I noticed that at my usual time of day that I would be in alot of pain I was still going strong! Thank you Ideal Feet, you gave me my life back! I still wear them everyday and I have told everybody I know about how much you have helped me!" Lori E., Hobbs, NM
Dancers
Flat Feet
“Several months ago my feet started really bothering me. I was thinking I needed to see a doctor. Then I heard the ads about Ideal Feet and thought I would check them out. Well, I discovered the people working there were very knowledgeable and super nice. They showed me what was happening with my feet and put the inserts in a pair of shoes and had me try them on. I walked around in the store going, “OH MY, OH MY.” They asked what was wrong and I exclaimed, “Nothing! It just feels so good.” These inserts give the support to my arches that are so needed for my flat feet. John and the wonderful ladies worked with me so patiently to make sure I got the right fit and that my feet and I were happy. Now I love going into the store because we all feel like family. I conclude by saying: If you are having problems with your feet, The Ideal Feet Store cant be beat!” Annalee, San Antonio, TX
“Having been mostly flat footed all my life and with having to work where the floors are made of thick concrete (with thin tile laid upon it), I have often found myself with aching feet and a sore back at the end of the work day. I have purchased thick-sole shoes in the hope that they would provide some cushioning from the hard floor, but found it didn’t help much. I have also purchase other shoe inserts (soft cushion arch supports), thinking that the “supposed” arch support they would provide would alleviate the soreness in my feet and the aches in my lower back, but again, the conditions never improved. It wasn’t until the recent purchase of the “Ideal Feet” arch supports that I finally found true alleviation of foot pain and my back muscles no longer felt tight and sore at the end of the day. I’m quite surprised as to how well this product truly works. Just by properly re-aligning my arches (into their ideal position) has helped my whole body to better cope with standing for long periods of time. I don’t find myself in agony anymore. I find myself with more energy now that I’ve become more active after work, finding myself wanting to walk (and exercise) most evenings because it feels good to be on my feet.
I have returned to the store twice now for readjustments, just to “fine tune” (if you will) my arch supports by being fitted with different trainers. It is truly nice to know that the “Ideal Feet” representatives stand by their word when they say this product has a “Life Time” guarantee, that whenever I feel I may need another adjustment, I can come in and they’ll take care of me. I found them to be courteous, accommodating, and quite knowledgeable of the product. One of the main reasons I was sold on this product was because of how well they explained to me the “anatomy” of the foot, the proper alignment of the body, and how the arch supports help keep it all in proper balance.” Ceasar, San Antonio, TX
Foot Pain
"I purchased my inserts yesterday. While in the store being fitted with the corrective and maintenance inserts I could feel the pain in my right foot decreasing by the moment. After 1 hour in the corrective inserts and the rest of the day in the maintenance inserts my feet felt better than they have in 2 years. I've done 2 hours in correctives and have been using the maintenance inserts in a pair of shoes that I had quit wearing because of the pain they caused and I feel no pain in the sides of heel and very little in the ball of my foot. Before I wasn't sure how I could even work, now I'm thinking about taking long walks in the nearby parks. THANK YOU Brandy and Ideal Feet!" Mark A., Irving, Texas

“Buying the orthotics was one of the best decisions I have made. My feet would get tired by the end of the day and would be very sore after working out. After wearing my orthotics, my feet feel relaxed and comfortable everyday. Not only has it helped my feet relax, but it has taken off all the pressure by helping my arch.” Yan, San Antonio, TX

“I came in with a lot of pain. I could hardly walk. I had tried everything. I went to different doctors in Mexico and United States. They gave me injections in my feet and they recommend I operate my feet, which I did not want to do. I had to use a cane to walk. I saw a commercial on TV and I went to try Ideal Feet. Ideal Feet rescued my feet. I felt like I went to heaven. I recommend them to everyone. I should have come to Ideal Feet first; I would have saved thousands of dollars.” Rose, San Antonio, TX

General Labor
“I have known the guys at Ideal Feet for some time now. I never thought I would need arch supports. About 3 weeks ago my legs were in so much pain I was not able to sleep through the night. I came in one day to see Teresa and I was so blown away with the immediate pain relief I felt just standing on the arch supports. I am now a believer. I work as a general contractor and I am also into extreme sports, like skydiving. Thank you Ideal feet for giving my life back.” Johnathon K. San Antonio, Tx
“I work in a warehouse environment. I am on my feet 8-10 hours a day. Moving from a sitting position to standing and walking. I have sharp pain in my heel. I have been fitted for Ideal Feet arch supports and can tell a difference just from being fitted.” Helen, Arlington, TX
“I’m on my feet 8-10 hours per day. I lift heavy objects, bend, squat and walk with heavy loads. I heard your Ideal Feet advertisements on WBAP Radio and after injections by a foot doctor in my heels; I finally decided to give you a try. Wow! What a difference! No more pain or discomfort and I’m 61 years old!” Jon, Plano, TX
“When I first came to Ideal Feet, I was in pain. I was on my feet all day as a waiter, and I had a very sharp pain in the center of my right foot.

“When I first came to Ideal Feet over a year ago, I was having major leg and foot pain. After being fitted for orthotics, it was an instant relief. The immediate relief I felt amazed me. I spend 9-12 hours a day on a concrete floor and have had no reoccurring problems. I have come in for a second pair today.” Richard, San Antonio, TX
“I mow yards, that’s my job! I walk a lot. A year ago, I got a pain in my left foot. Don’t know why or where this pain came from. Both feet were sore in the mornings and it would take a while before I could start walking and get going. Just walking to the bathroom I had to hold on to the bed, walls, sink, and anything I could support myself to keep from falling. I thought I was just getting old and my feet were sore due to the excessive walking. I considered giving up work. I made an appointment with the podiatrist. It would be three weeks away. Then I head on the radio about Ideal Feet. A sister told me she had similar problem and had taken shots on her feet to make her feet better. That was not for me, so I decided to check out Ideal Feet. As soon as I walked in, the friendliest people met me and they knew what was going on with my feet. Minutes later, I walked out the store, feeling better and in a week, I was full sprint at work. Oh, the podiatrist appointment? What a waste of time. Let’s just say that when I mentioned that I had been to Ideal Feet and my feet were feeling better, he told me if the feet hadn’t improved all I can do is offer pain pills and injections. Today more than a year later, I am still mowing yards and never got a single injection on my feet. Thank you all the staff at Ideal Feet.” Augustin, San Antonio, TX
“I am a farmer who developed foot pain to the extent I couldn’t walk without severe foot pain. I was fitted with Ideal Feet inserts about three weeks ago. Now I can chase cows and calves, walk anywhere I want to go with NO pain. Thank you Ideal Feet. I am so pleased with the results.” Doyle, Lebanon, KY
“I am on my feet as a restaurant manager all day. I developed plantar fasciitis years ago and found partial relief with over the counter inserts. When it came time to replace them – every six months at least – I finally purchased the lifetime supply of inserts from Ideal Feet for value. But in the two months I’ve worn them it has proven to be a much better product. I have less fatigue and more bounce in my step – more energy! I love them!” Kathy, Louisville, KY
“I’ve tried everything to solve my knee, back, ankle and feet problems including surgery on both knees and my back. I walk on construction sites everyday to add to the problem. Ideal Feet solved my problems within one week. It is once again a pleasure to walk.” Mark, Louisville, KY
“After being on my feet 12 hours a day, I was beginning to wonder if my feet would ever be workable again. After stopping at Ideal Feet I was sold!” Sharon, Louisville, KY
Hairstylists
“I am a hairdresser and I stand on my feet all day. By the end of the day, my feet are very sore. I also do a spinning class at the gym. As soon as I put the Brooks running shoe with the Ideal Feet supports, all that soreness melted away. I came in to your store because my husband was in here last year and he had Planar Fasciitis. After wearing Ideal Feet supports, he has no pain. I tell all my clients about Ideal feet.” Rita T., San Antonio, Tx
Hammertoe
“I have Cerebral Palsy and I have had many orthopedic surgeries. I recently had surgery on each foot. I had what’s called Hammer Toes. I have trouble walking, but since I have had my inserts, my balance is better. I walk with 2 tripod canes and drag my right foot a little bit when I get tired, but I am walking so much better. Today I went to physical therapy and my mom showed the therapist the impressions before and after inserts that my Ideal Feet coach Jordan had fitted me with. She wanted to make copies of it the next time I go to see her. She was impressed. My Ideal Feet rock.” Josh, Tulsa, Ok
Heel Pain
“I have been training for a Kilimanjaro climb since the fall of 2009 and have also been suffering with plantar fasciitis in both feet. The fasciitis would get better and then get worse again. I was seeing a podiatrist and had received steroid injections. The injections relieved the pain for a couple of weeks. Then with only 2-3 weeks before my climb, the pain came back worse than ever. I went to the Ideal Feet store in Little Rock in a panic for help. I did an accelerated boot camp and was able to wear my maintenance supports in my hiking boots for the entire climb. I made it to the top of Kilimanjaro and amazingly I DID NOT HAVE HEEL PAIN!! I am so thankful for help for my feet. It made a once of a lifetime trip possible and made reaching the summit achievable. Thank you Ideal Feet!“ Cheryl A., Little Rock, AR
“When I came in to the store, the heel pain in my left heel was so severe I could barely walk. The second the insert was put in the shoes the heel pain stopped. I had dealt with it for months and I was so upset I had waited so long when it was so easy to fix. I am completely sold on Ideal Feet and I will be a lifetime return customer. Thank you so much!” Tory, Arlington, TX
“I could tell an immediate difference, my feet hurt so bad on my heels it was horrible. The inserts were great. My feet started hurting again about a year or a year and a half later. They re-checked my feet and gave me replacements with no hassles. I highly recommend their product.” Judy, Arlington, TX
“As soon as I stepped on the “trainer” arch supports, I felt relief from the pain I had been having in my right heel for 3 ½ months. As I walked around with the trainers in the store, I continued to be pain free.“ Steve, Arlington, TX
“I am an extremely satisfied customer of Ideal Feet. I came in because I work on my feet. I had foot pain daily, mainly my heels. My sales associate was extremely knowledgeable. I am very happy. I recommend Ideal Feet to my friends.” James A., Plano, TX
“I came to Ideal Feet because of heel pain. I had visited a podiatrist and was not satisfied. After working with the Ideal Feet experts I decided to try the product.

“Since I purchased the orthotics … my knee pain is almost non-existent, my heels definitely do not hurt and my chronic back pain has been virtually eliminated.

“As a retail manager, I am always on my feet. I’ve experienced feet, heel, back and hip pain for years. The first day I wore them I could feel a difference. And everyday it gets better. I never thought something so small could make such a big difference. Thanks for the help and relief.” Deb, San Antonio, TX
“It would feel like a lightning bolt of pain on my heels, especially my left heel. It would affect my output at work and leisure time with my family; I would rather sit than walk or stand. After hearing of Ideal Feet from a co-worker and on talk radio I decided to give the store a visit. In about one month of wearing the insoles it was improved my life, more output at work and walking with my family at the store, flea market, garage sales, going to mass it is all a breeze. Thank you Ideal Feet. Keep up the great work.” Mark, San Antonio, TX
“I heard the radio advertisement about Ideal Feet and decided to check them out because of the severe pain I was experiencing in the heels of my feet. I was a little skeptical based upon the price, but I figured the cost was less than surgery or continuous shots of cortisone over time. Bottom line is they work, No more pain! My son started experiencing the same problems, so I have purchased orthotics for him also.” John, Louisville, KY
Heel Spurs
“I work in a warehouse environment. I am on my feet 8-10 hours a day. Moving from a sitting position to standing and walking. I have sharp pain in my heel. I have been fitted for Ideal Feet arch supports and can tell a difference just from being fitted.” Helen, Arlington, TX
“I had a heel spur and could hardly walk when I came in. I could feel an immediate change especially in posture. I have no pain now, but I am afraid not to use my inserts. They are so comfortable.” Anita, Arlington, TX
“My feet started hurting/aching when I get out of bed in the mornings. It had just started a few months before I heard the Ideal Feet commercial. I decided to come and see if something could help. John helped me – he showed me my arches were collapsing. He gave me the inserts. It took a few days but now 2 ½ months later my feet don’t hurt in the mornings when I get out of bed.” Rhonda, San Antonio, TX
High Arches
“I am on my feet all day at work. I would have intense foot pain after two days of starting my work week, then pray for the weekend to be able to recover. The inserts from Ideal Feet helped relieve all my foot pain and also helped pain I had in my knees and hip that I assume was related to old football injuries but was really due to my extremely high arches. I would recommend these to anyone. In fact, I’m writing this recommendation because I’ve brought my wife in to help with her flat feet and bunions. She is going to get a discrete insert that will fit under her flip-flops, which she loves to wear. Thanks Ideal Feet.” Brian, Louisville, KY
High Heels and Dress Shoes
“I wear high heels everyday. I could not live without them, but my feet are always in so much pain. With my new Ideal Feet arch supports, I can wear any type of high heel and be pain free at the end of the day! Thank you Ideal Feet.” Crystal W., Oklahoma City, Ok
Hip Pain
“Ideal Feet arch supports are great! I feel better from my feet to my head. I had knee, back, hip, and shoulder pain. Now the pain is gone and I can walk for hours and hours. The best investment for me and my feet!” Anthony, Plano, TX
“As a retail manager, I am always on my feet. I’ve experienced feet, heel, back and hip pain for years. The first day I wore them I could feel a difference. And everyday it gets better.

"In early July I was using a cane for hip pain. I had to do something and heard an ad on the radio about Ideal Feet and decided to give it a try. I noticed relief immediately. It is now mid September and I can walk greater distances without difficulty. The inserts did wonders for me." Happy Customer
Joint Pain
"I heard the Ideal Feet commercials on the radio for months and then ran into a friend who had purchased the orthotics. He was very pleased with the results so I decided I would give them a try. I had spinal fusion a year ago and have been recovering with some lingering pain. I pronate both feet and the heels of all my shoes show uneven wear. I have been wearing my Ideal Feet orthotics for almost a month now and my back pain has eased and my feet no longer pronate. I recommend anyone with joint pain to see the friendly staff at Ideal Feet. Thanks for your help and advice." Jerry S., Louisville, KY
Knee Pain
“I had to find something that would work. I was feeling desperate – my heel was so tender I was in pain even when I was wearing shoes. My ankles were almost perpetually swollen. Worst of all my knees were giving me so much pain I wore braces on them all the time; I was in pain whether standing or walking, and I won’t even talk about stairs. My lower back ached so much it was difficult to sleep. I heard about Ideal Feet on the radio and thought I would go in to see what they were all about; I thought they might be able to help with the pain in my heel. Brandi was my sales person. She was considerate and understanding of the problems I was having. She explained the process and what the inserts could do to change my balance and the impact this would have on my feet, legs and back. By the end of the first week of wearing the inserts, my heel pain was completely gone, my ankles were no longer swollen and it no longer hurt to stand up from a seat. It took awhile longer for the swelling in my knees completely diminish. It feels so good to go walking again, to sleep comfortably, and to stand up from the couch without steeling myself for the pain it used to cause. This has given me back the pleasure of moving without thinking – I don’t have to calculate if what I want to do is worth the pain or down time it would cost me – now I can do what I want and feel good." Jayne S., Arlington, Tx
“I have had foot pain, particularly in my right foot for quite some time. In 1990 I fell off a ladder and broke both of my ankles. This caused an alignment issue due to my right foots ankle being fused. I also have had both my knees replaced and this may have also contributed to my current foot pains. I've used spring-soled shoes, had nerves deadened, and have had calluses continually shaved down. I’ve done all of this in order to relieve the pain. After having heard Ideal Feet commercials for it seems years, I decided to stop and see what you had to offer. You were very helpful in not only telling me what to expect and after fitting me you demonstrated to me by the balance exercise you do, what you did for my standing equilibrium and balance. I now have been using my Ideal Feet inserts for about two months and have not experienced the pain and discomfort I had previously experienced. Thanks for your help and I hope this encourages other people to try your product and walk without pain.” Bill B. Plano, Tx
“Since I purchased the orthotics … my knee pain is almost non-existent, my heels definitely do not hurt and my chronic back pain has been virtually eliminated. If you suffer from these types of chronic conditions, spend the money to invest in a product that will change the way your body will feel. The bottom line is these things work. I feel more active because my body does not hurt, and believe it or not as far as pain, most of it was gone in the first full day of wearing these products. Thank you very much for your expert knowledge and help.” Carlos, San Antonio, TX
“I’ve been in pain with sciatic and knee problems. As soon as I tried the orthotics, the pain is subsiding. Thank you.” Irene, San Antonio, TX
“Ideal Feet arch supports are great! I feel better from my feet to my head. I had knee, back, hip, and shoulder pain. Now the pain is gone and I can walk for hours and hours. The best investment for me and my feet!” Anthony, Plano, TX
Leg Pain
“I have known the guys at Ideal Feet for some time now. I never thought I would need arch supports. About 3 weeks ago my legs were in so much pain I was not able to sleep through the night. I came in one day to see Teresa and I was so blown away with the immediate pain relief I felt just standing on the arch supports. I am now a believer. I work as a general contractor and I am also into extreme sports, like skydiving. Thank you Ideal feet for giving my life back.” Johnathon K. San Antonio, Tx
“When I first came to Ideal Feet over a year ago, I was having major leg and foot pain. After being fitted for orthotics, it was an instant relief. The immediate relief I felt amazed me. I spend 9-12 hours a day on a concrete floor and have had no reoccurring problems. I have come in for a second pair today.” Richard, San Antonio, TX
“I’ve known the people at Ideal Feet for a little over a year. Several times they encouraged me to check out their product to help me with foot and leg pain that started keeping me from sleeping. After 3 weeks of agonizing leg pain and aching feet I stopped by Ideal Feet. The product they provided put an end to all of my leg and foot pain. I’m finally sleeping well again. Thank God.” Johnathon, San Antonio, TX
Metatarsalgia
“Ideal Feet saved me from horrible pain in my feet, mainly right under my toes. Riding a bicycle was impossible because my feet would literally start hurting and cramping and go to sleep. I am only 4’10” and I live in heels. I was told to stop wearing heels. Ideal Feet solved my dilemma, I can now walk anywhere even in heels.” Everly, San Antonio, TX
Mortons Neuroma
Neck Pain
"I can actually say that Ideal Feet did a miracle for me. I have 2 degenerated discs in my neck which caused me problems. I went through 8 weeks of physical therapy without any improvement. And thanks to Ideal Feet even my bunion is gone. I can actually straighten out my spine. I have perfect posture. No more neck pain, or back pain. I can stand and walk all day and I don't feel my feet tired like before." Lorenza G., San Antonio, Tx
Nurses
“A couple of weeks ago when I came in, I was rather skeptical – I owe you an apology! You were right! These orthotics have made a world of difference for me. My knee, foot/heel, and calf pain are GONE and I’m not nearly as tired at the end of the day. So yesterday (after wearing the orthotics daily for the last 2 weeks) I did a little experiment and wore the same shoes but without the orthotics, and the pain came back! I’m truly a believer now, and my husband will be coming in to get fitted soon.
To other customers who are skeptical – give it a shot! I know they ‘re not cheap, but it was worth it to me to get rid of the pain. I can do so much more in a day now that I’m pain free, And I can get my work done so much faster now – I’m a nurse and am on my feet, constantly walking fast, for 8 – 12 hours a day. Now I’m not as tired at the end of a shift – which makes it easier to do everything I’ve got to do once I get home. It also makes it easier to work more hours per week, translating to making me more money. =) So I think in a way these have paid for themselves already!
Thanks again and sorry for being so skeptical!” Cheryl RN, Tulsa, OK
Other Problems
"I came to Ideal Feet because of problems with the ball of my feet. I can’t believe it!! I can wear flip flops, heels and tennis shoes with no more pain in the ball of the foot. I would recommend Ideal Feet to everyone!” Terry, Plano, TX
“The Ideal Feet arch supports brought comfort quickly after weeks of pain.” Juanita, Plano, TX
“I have been a customer of Ideal Feet for 3 years. I cannot be happier with the custom inserts that I purchased at the Plano store. From day one, I received the relief that I have been searching for. Also, the customer service has been excellent. I have had a few re-fits over the past three years and the staff has always been very professional. Thanks for the relief and I mention Ideal Feet to all my friends.” David, Plano, TX
“My Ideal Feet orthotics are absolutely amazing. I feel like, for the first time in years, that there is hope for my painful feet. I have been wearing both sets as per the instructions on the wearing schedule, and in just 2 weeks, I can already feel the difference! I am so happy about my soon-to-be normal feet! The staff are all so polite, friendly, and knowledgeable!” Kitty, San Antonio, TX
“Since I have tried the arch supports, I have felt much relief, and no pain. When I started to wear my new shoes with the arch supports I have felt my lower back changing and less pressure on my heels and arches. I continue to wear my trainers on a daily basis and I still feel great. I am glad to know that if I need any adjustments I can go and make those adjustments at no charge. Thank you Ideal Feet.” Olivia, San Antonio, TX

Overweight
Plantar Fasciitis
“I cannot explain enough the difference in my ability to move around since I purchased my set of arch supports from Ideal Feet. I have had multiple spine surgeries and was suffering from plantar fasciitis in my heel. The pain was so excruciating that if I bumped my feet in the night it would wake me up. I was fit with the correct arch supports and within 48 hours my heel pain was gone. It felt so good after a couple of weeks I quit wearing the arch supports. The pain came back so I started wearing them again and I wear them every day now and for 3 years I am pain free. Thank you Ideal Feet.” Cindy C., Tahlequah, Ok
“The arch supports I purchased have been an absolute blessing! I don't wake up in the mornings with pain anymore, and the arch supports have been a big relief. I strongly recommend Ideal Feet and I assure you will experience great comfort.” Sandra G., San Antonio, Tx
“I am a hairdresser and I stand on my feet all day. By the end of the day, my feet are very sore. I also do a spinning class at the gym. As soon as I put the Brooks running shoe with the Ideal Feet supports, all that soreness melted away. I came in to your store because my husband was in here last year and he had Planar Fasciitis. After wearing Ideal Feet supports, he has no pain. I tell all my clients about Ideal feet.” Rita T., San Antonio, Tx
“I have had trouble with plantar fasciitis in my right foot for well over a year. It has now pretty well gone but my left foot got plantar fasciitis even worse. We came in to help my mom and I tried the orthotics too. What a relief. Within 3 -4 weeks I was walking all night, on asphalt, at a Relay for Life in Gonzales. (I wish I had worn a pedometer, too!) Did I mention I was walking all night in Ariat Boots with the orthotics. Thanks for the help.“ Janice, San Antonio, TX
“Since using Ideal Feet’s inserts, I can tell a difference in my foot pain. It has dramatically subsided my plantar fasciitis is no longer a daily occurrence. Thank you Ideal Feet for giving me my feet back!” Wendy, Plano, TX
“When I first bought my arch supports a year ago, I was very leery that it would work. I had plantar fasciitis. In just a few days my feet felt 100% better in about 2 weeks all pain was gone and to this day I have never had another problem. I still wear my supports every day.” Rick, Plano, TX
“It was the fall of 2008, several months following an auto accident, when I began to suffer from plantar fasciitis in my right heel. The pain was so severe that I had trouble getting out of bed each morning. The pain was beyond excruciating. Finally I responded to the radio ad for Ideal Feet. From day one to this, I have never been without my shoe inserts. The inner soles of all my shoes (25 or more counting my slippers) have been removed to accommodate my inserts. The payoff of being such a good patient has been the receipt of new upgraded inserts. I am never without them. This coming August, I will be 79. I arise at 5:00am each Monday and Thursday for golf with retiree friends. I still mow my yard of approximately one half acre with 1200 feet of edging. I maintain two cars. My local church is on 8 ½ acres. It is a pretty piece of property as there is in the city, as grounds chairman, I am responsible for its maintenance. To an active elderly gentleman, my feet are my most important asset.” Joseph, San Antonio, TX
“After years of dealing with diabetes my feet would become very sore after working all day. I also had developed Plantar Fasciitis making it unbearable to walk in the morning and very sore during the day. I was desperate for any type of relief when I came into the store. After being treated and after several days I found that I had not experienced any relief at that time. I continued with the routine and after 8 days I started to feel like I was improving. Two months later, I came by the store to purchase three additional inserts. It was the best money spent that I had made for my personal well being, I highly recommend anyone with this type of foot problems to give it a try, be patient and follow instructions. Also, I had purchased Medi Rub Massager, great for starting out the day and for relaxing after a hard day at work.” Raymond, San Antonio, TX
"I have been training for a Kilimanjaro climb since the fall of 2009 and have also been suffering with plantar fasciitis in both feet. The fasciitis would get better and then get worse again. I was seeing a podiatrist and had received steroid injections. The injections relieved the pain for a couple of weeks. Then with only 2-3 weeks before my climb, the pain came back worse than ever. I went to the Ideal Feet store in Little Rock in a panic for help. I did an accelerated boot camp and was able to wear my maintenance supports in my hiking boots for the the entire climb. I made it to the top of Kilimanjaro and amazingly I DID NOT HAVE HEEL PAIN!! I am so thankful for help for my feet. It made a once of a lifetime trip possible and made reaching the summit achievable. Thank you Ideal Feet!" Cheryl A., Little Rock, AR

Runners
“After 33 years of running, I began to have problems in my feet. Being in the medical field I suspected plantar fasciitis. I’d heard of Ideal Feet and decided to try them out. I found relief and have since then referred others to Ideal Feet.” Roland, San Antonio, TX
“I love to workout, which includes running, hiking long distance with a heavy load on my back. Over the years I’ve developed heel, arch, knee, and back pain. I have tried everything to alleviate the pain. Or so I thought. About six months ago I heard of Ideal Feet through the radio and told myself I’ll check them out one of these days. One of these days happened to be three months ago. I’ll never forget the day, because I’ve been pain free since that very day. The inserts are a true blessing. The best investment I have ever made!” James, San Antonio, TX
"Ideal Feet and I are best friends forever! After 30 years of running...over 100 marathons and ultras worldwide...my feet and legs were in need of help. Over the years I have tried many orthotic support systems both doctor prescribed custom molded systems and over the counter insoles with no success. I saw the Ideal Feet ad on the TV one late night and had to try one more time not really expecting success. Well I am back running comfortably at age 72. Thank you Ideal Feet"

Teachers
“I just wanted to thank Ideal Feet for your products and service. I have had my arch supports for a couple of years now and I can tell a measurable difference. When I went into your store the first time, I was hurting daily, changing shoes constantly throughout the day, aching in the morning, rolling my feet on balls in the evening, taking ibuprofen and missing out on many activities with my children. Since being fitted with arch supports, I can tell that my feet have strengthened considerably. I never, ever go without my inserts. My feet feel stronger, sturdier, and healthier. I can enjoy walking in the neighborhood and even some low impact exercises. I am a believer in your service and products. Thank you for your products!” RaeAnn G., middle school science teacher and mom of three, Gainesville, Tx
“I am a teacher and on my feet all the time. When I was younger, I didn’t worry about what I wore on my feet. Cute and fun was fine. As I got older I assumed that “older feet” needed “older shoes” but I resisted. I didn’t want chunky old lady shoes. But when the pain was constant - then even the “old lady shoes” didn’t help. I decided to go to a podiatrist. That led to pills and shots in my heels! Not only did that not work, it hurt - and I did not want to spend the rest of my life on pills! After trying over the counter remedies I decided to try Ideal Feet. I truly did not believe that anything like an insert would make a difference, but after hearing the testimonials, and being so unsatisfied with other “solutions”, I was desperate. At first, I couldn’t tell a difference because I had suffered for about 1.5 years of pain. It took about 2 months before I realized that I wasn’t hurting! I woke up in the morning - pain free - I went running, exercising - could do anything I wanted and wear any shoes again - as long as I had my Ideal Feet arch supports. I am a true believer and a life long customer.” Stacey, San Antonio, TX
Tendonitis
Toe Cramps
"I wore my Ideal Feet arch supports when I went grocery shopping today and for the first time in many years, I walked around the store (on concrete floors) without any toe cramps or foot pain! Thanks to my Ideal Feet arch supports, I can feel that my body weight has shifted off of the balls of my feet and I'm balanced over my arches. I plan to wear my arch supports every day to work and when I take power walks. One of the great things about the Ideal Feet arch supports is that I can wear them in athletic shoes, flats, heels, clogs and sandals. Hey, that's all of my shoes! Thank you, Ideal Feet, for your great arch support system and for helping me solve my foot problems." Dr Peggy D., Houston, Tx
