Custom Orthotics Delivered
Foot Pain is Not Normal!
Russell has made walking enjoyable again! I have had multiple issues with my foot, ankle and knee for a number of years… The first time I walked with the custom orthotics he made for me, I had NO PAIN in my foot, ankle or knee. I have had several pairs of orthotics through the years, and none of them helped me nearly as much as these have!"
I highly recommend The Shoe Doctor. My 13 year old son has been plagued with foot problems since he was very young. As he has grown, his feet have begun to physically look odd and his pigeon toed gate more pronounced. Russell took the time to explain his condition in a way that both my son and I could understand. My son is now fitted with orthotics and his walking has already improved!
After using numerous other custom insoles for my plantar fasciitis, Russ professionally and accurately made a set of custom orthotics that have profoundly improved my foot pain. I now have the custom insoles in several pairs of my shows. Simply put, The Shoe Doctor should be your first and only choice if you have heel or foot pain.
Pain in my foot! I am an avid hiker and my foot was starting cause me pain…His products were completely different than other orthotics I have tried in the past. It has been 6 weeks and NO PAIN! …“His products were completely different than other orthotics I have tried in the past. It has been 6 weeks and NO PAIN!
