"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."

"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 alot 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 - Willmington, 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."
DR - La Quinta, California
