Often, we are advised to try walking in another person’s shoes. Yet some of us have a hard enough time walking in our own shoes. Literally.
Foot pain is a major issue in many lives. There are many factors involved in chronic foot pain, but one of the most predominant is uncomfortable or poorly made shoes. Dr. Scholls is a company that specializes in products that can help to minimize shoe discomfort.
The company began in 1906, offering shoe inserts for weary feet. Since then, Dr. Scholls has expanded its product line to include more advanced shoe inserts as well as treatments for skin issues like athlete’s foot, foot odor, dry skin and warts.
Dr. Scholls bases its products on research of all the things that can help the feet or problems with the feet. The predominant focus for the company and for its loyal customers is the shoe insert, which provides support in the arch of the foot and relieves pain throughout the foot and lower back and can be used in any shoe. Consumers trying to find the right insert for their feet can now take advantage of a unique test, available in multiple stores like CVS, WALMART and a few others. The customer stands on a platform and the pressure distribution in his or her feet is measured and evaluated by the machine to determine exactly how much support is needed in that customer’s arch. The screen will display results, advising the customer on the appropriate insert to purchase.
Each insert costs fifty dollars and carries a lifetime guarantee. Consumers can also purchase insoles, which range in price from five to twenty dollars.
