I had a great experience at Foot Solutions in Encinitas. As a professional in the wellness industry, I'm pretty particular about the care and recommendations I trust--and Rudy, the owner, truly exceeded my expectations. 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. read more

Very Disappointing Experience -- Be Careful We had a very disappointing experience at this shop, particularly because the customer involved was my 90-year-old mother. When we first arrived, we had to wait about 15 minutes because the salesperson was late opening the store. My mother was looking for a pair of sandals in the exact same style and color as a pair she has owned for many years. The salesperson, who had a European accent, ordered the color my mother wanted and told us she could modify the insert for approximately $30-$40. About two weeks later, we returned to pick up the sandals. At that point, my mother purchased an additional insert, costing approximately $200. The total purchase came to $549.53. She repeatedly assured us not to worry and said she would "make it right." Unfortunately, when my mother got home, she immediately noticed that the sandals did not fit or feel like her original pair and was very unhappy with them. We returned to the store and requested a refund. The salesperson initially resisted the refund and repeatedly told us that she would lose money if she refunded the purchase. I explained that this was not an appropriate way to treat a 90-year-old customer and that we would dispute the charge if necessary. She eventually agreed to take back the sandals and the expensive insert, but she still charged my mother more than $90 for the original modification. I asked to see exactly what had been done to the sandal. What I saw was essentially a small piece of cotton with a small piece of rubber attached to it. I was shocked that we were being charged more than $90 for this. The salesperson claimed it took her approximately 30 minutes to install it. I personally witnessed the work, and it took approximately five minutes. She also refused to refund that $90 charge and would not allow us to take the piece of material with us. We are now in the process of disputing that portion of the charge. The issue here isn't simply the money. It's the way the situation was handled. My mother is 90 years old, and we expected honest pricing, good customer service, and a willingness to make things right when the product didn't work for her. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. We left feeling that my mother had been taken advantage of, and I cannot recommend this shop based on our experience. read more

Better customer service. I witnessed you treating an 90 year old woman very unfairly for wanting to return a pair of shoes that hurt her feet. These were not worn and she had a receipt. Will not return to this store. read more

Glad I found these guys! Love my new custom foot insoles. The owner is so sweet and helpful.

Shoe store with personal service I recently was on the hunt for shoes that would help with my problem feet. That's when I discovered a small, full-service shoe store in Encinitas, Foot Solutions, in the same small shopping center with Sprouts. I walked in and realized this is a customer service store meaning the owner will give you the attention and her expertise to help you find the right shoe for you. It was such a pleasant experience that I wanted to give the store and the owner, Rudi, who is quite involved in the Encinitas community, a shout out. If you're looking for custom arch supports or shoes to either save your feet or solve a foot problem, you might find the perfect pair for you. 1347 Encinitas Blvd, Encinitas. read more

Foot Solutions Encinitas - Owner of Foot Solutions - Shoe Stores Near Me - Encinitas, California

I was having foot pain and was getting ready to see a Podiatrist. A friend recommended I go to Foot Solutions in Encinitas first. To save money, I figured I'd give it a try since an orthotic can be $800. I was pleasantly surprised that Rudy, the owner of the store, knew so much. Just by watching me walk, looking at the wear inside my shoes, and checking out my feet, she said I did NOT need an expensive orthotic. I tried on an inexpensive "orthotic" sandal. From the moment I put them on, I could tell that my feet were being supported in just the right way. I decided to purchase them along with one simple orthotic to move from one pair of shoes to another. After just a week I have noticed a tremendous difference. No more foot pain! I LOVE the sandals and wear them inside instead of bedroom slippers or flip flops. Plus the orthotic in my shoes feels amazing. I strongly recommend you give Foot Solutions a try. The people are knowledgeable and friendly, the products are reasonably priced and they work! No more foot pain for me. John B Encinitas, CA read more

I just purchased my second and third pair of custom orthotics from Rudy. The first ones I purchased several years ago and they were wonderful. However, I stopped wearing them a year ago because of new shoes that I bought and I thought my feet issues were gone, but recently started having serious foot pain. I got my two new pairs of orthotics this week, and my foot pain has gone away! Rudy is professional, knowledgable, friendly, and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend Foot Solutions for anyone with foot pain! read more

My feet are complex with post surgical toe fusion issues and metatarsal pain. I was relieved to get Roudi's expertise to find me quality sandals that would help me walk better. She also advised me on coping strategies and adapted my existing shoes so I could still wear them. She assessed me as soon as I limped into the store and quickly understood more about my ortho problems than the many healthcare pros and podiatrists I've seen in two cities. Friendly, empathic and excellent customer service. Highly recommended! read more

Roudi solved all my feet problems in less than an hour. She is now my designated foot guru and guardian angel!

Had a horrible experience at the store when having a prescription taken them for new orthotics I made it very clear to the woman that took care of me that the orthotics had to fit in my current shoes that I could not possibly afford to buy all new shoes both work casual and work out they made the orthotics they did not fit at all they offered to change the shape and shave them but then they would not do what the doctor prescribed them to do I asked for a refund they would not the owner got very aggressive with me and threaten me I told him I'd be canceling the charges and would prefer her not to get into a social media issue he said go ahead I don't care the owner of the store actually said I don't care what people think of me avoid the store at all cost I have contacted my Dr to make sure he never gets another referral from their office! read more

Foot solutions is my go-to place now for shoes. I have bought sneakers, flip flop, ankle boots, sandals from them. I love all my shoes. Roudi (the owner) does a great job with her selection of shoes.

Great experience and new exactly what I needed. Very professional and helpful. Would recommend them to anyone.

I was suffering from plantar fasciitis and could barely walk some days. I was unable to play pickleball and to do my daily walks. Two friends recommended I go to Foot Solutions and I am so glad I did. Roudi cares about the whole person, not just the feet. Her recommendation for supportive flip flops, the Italian orthotics, and posture changes have made all the difference. As she explained, the PF will take time to fully heal, but my foot health has made great strides -- I have returned to pickleball and my daily walks. I highly recommend you try Foot Solutions in Encinitas. read more

After walking in my Joya shoes all over Italy twice I wanted to replace them. No matter how many hours I wore them they were always comfortable but the soles were wearing.

I had a problem with the insoles on a pair of shoes which were otherwise comfortable. Foot Solutions provided me with the perfect FOOT SOLUTION and I was very thankful!! FIVE STARS! read more

Foot solutions is a lot more than I expected in many ways. I bought a pair of boots and my heels were slipping up when I walked so I wanted an insert to fill up some space. The full service staff looked at my situation and tried several options to optimize the fit of the boots including adding a pad in the top to stop my foot from pressing too far forward and a riser under the toes to keep the heels down. I wanted the insole that I came in for in the end. The accessories are stored behind the counter so I did not know what the cost would be. I was guessing $15-20 but I was about 500% wrong. The total was $97 which shocked me. I almost turned away due to sticker shock but was too embarassed after the good service. My husband bought shoes there for $350 once, the superior service and quality demand a high price. read more
