When I began having pain from Plantar Fasciitis nearly three years ago, I knew I needed more support under the arch of my foot than my fashionable shoes offered. I feared the only solution would be expensive custom-made orthotics which would be fitted to a few pairs of comfort shoes to be worn every day regardless of outfit. I learned of Soul Insole Shoe Bubble through a Facebook ad. Since it claimed to be a small gel cushion which could fit into many different types of shoes while giving arch support, I ordered one set to try. I was shocked at how transferrable the cushion was, and how it could not be seen even in shoes with open sides. Most of all, I was surprised and delighted that my heel pain quickly resolved with the addition of this product. I now own six pairs and swap them around to whatever shoes suit me. Sandals, ballerina flats, Keds sneakers or boots - the Shoe Bubbles can be used in all of my favorites. When they are looking a bit grungy from lint buildup, I just run them under warm water with a dab of dish soap and let them dry naturally. They are good to go for many more wearings. I'm not a frequent review-writer, but the Soul Insole Shoe Bubbles work just as advertised and are well worth the money. They allow me to indulge my love of shoes without being punished with shooting heel pain.

She's incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to understand my specific situation rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. Her personalized attention made a huge difference, and it's clear she genuinely cares about helping her clients achieve real results. One of the biggest takeaways for me has been how much the custom orthotics have reduced my low back pain!! I've already noticed a significant improvement, which speaks volumes about the effectiveness of her approach. If you're looking for expert guidance, customized care, and results you can actually feel, I highly recommend Foot Solutions in Encinitas.

I first got a pair of maintainers in the early 2000s because of knee pain from a dance injury…read more They taught me what to do (there's a break in period) and it was the only solution to my pain. Almost ten years later, I was randomly next to the store and went in to look around. I was informed of their relaxers and it was mentioned that they would fit well in my heels. I was about to go to a wedding so I was sold. It has now been about 20 years since I bought my first pair. I've since gotten my maintainers adjusted once (thank you life time warranty) and am feeling knee pain again. I'm considering purchasing the strengtheners now that I'm older and exercising less. With all of the bad reviews, I figured some people should know my success story.

These people are scammers!…read more My insurer sent me there for an ankle orthotic and when I called for an appointment they literally said "We don't do ankles.". I went there for help and they made me sign that I was satisfied with the product, and accepted it, before I even got to try it on - as a condition of trying it on, in fact. (See Pictures of what they scammed me with.) They then gave me the worst orthotic I have ever seen in my life. I took it home and tried it on and it literally left me in tears - it hurt so much. When I called the next day to complain the receptionist literally told me "If it doesn't work: you can just throw it away.". This office has photos of all of the crippled San Diego Zoo animals they have restored to mobility plastered all over their walls - and they seem proud of their work. But they couldn't wait to get me to sign off on the garbage they foisted off on me and, once they got paid, did not care one tiny bit about if it worked for me or not. The next day I went to a reputable dealer and got something that actually worked for me. But I'll never forget that they actually treated Zoo Animals better than they treated me: and I got straight up scammed by them!! And now I do not trust Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics any farther than I can throw them: and the whole chain has lost my trust because of the bad actors in the La Jolla office. Avoid at ALL Costs!!

Have you ever bought something and really regretted it? Well this is up there with my top 3…read morethings. A extra star is for Mark who provided great customer service, however, Yelp Family let me tell you this. These "inserts" are not worth the high dollar amount. If I could take them back I would. Although I fell for it, I didn't fall all the way and buy the full shabang, which is close to $2k after taxes. My sales guy Mark was wonderful I have to say. He was way more enthusiastic than the other guy that was there. Mark presented his pitch to myself and another lady at the same time. You can tell they were trained to say the same thing and give the same examples. I went in there with the expectation that they really measure your feet and walk pattern .. they don't. I've had surgeries on both feet, my big toes don't bend. I have a hard time finding shoes and inserts that are a comfortable fit. I told this to mark. Honestly their measurements consist of stepping on some paper, squat, stand back up, take foot off paper. All it shows is where you put pressure (hot spots they say) It's not a true measurement. He went in the back, came out with some inserts that I would assume are special to my feet pattern. I say all this to say... when I saw the price I was shocked, I didn't buy the whole package but walked out of there almost $600 later. I bought just the "Maintainer" which should be for every day wear..oh and it's true. They said they would be one price but rang them up almost $40 more than what he quoted. Boy do I regret this purchase. I've waited over a month to see if they made a difference, guess what, they don't. I'm sure they would just say because I didn't purchase the full kit and kaboodle. Yeah oh well I'll take this L but never again. The end...
