I work on my feet up to 15 hours a day on hard floor kitchens. Add to that for many years I wore what I thought were cool orange crocs that led to broken arches, heel spurs and having crazy foot pain. I was recommended to Alpha Omega by my foot doctor and I cant thank him enough. Alpha Omega do all kinds of prosthetic devices and orthotics for workers, athletes and regular old folk. In my case they gave me a thorough exam, took computer imprints of my feet and where my potential may be. We then made a soft mold so we could get an exact copy of my feet. About a week later I went in for a fitting and walk about.
I could not be happier with the resulting shoe inserts. They have made a huge difference in how my feet feel. The down side is that when I go a weekend without my work shoes I can tell a painful difference and cant wait to get my work shoes on again.
My insurance wouldn't cover the cost and they are not exactly inexpensive. The cost was over$300 for the pair. However for the relief they have offered I would never complain about the price. In fact I bought a second set of inserts for other shoes.
When you add up all of the money I wasted on over the counter inserts, pads and cushions my custom made inserts are a bargain. read more
