I was looking to replace the old orthopedic cushions in my shoes, I had them for about 5 years and they helped my feet. The store that I bought them from closed. So was was searching for another one. I had passed Good Feet many times, they are near where I live.
I entered the store on Saturday 01/ 25/25. A man named Dan said hello how can I help you. I said that I need a pair of orthopedic cushions for my shoes. He never said we don't sell them. Asked me to take a seat. I sat down and another man sat to the left of me. I think he was being trained to sell. Dan sat in front of me. I felt like I was being questioned by he FBI. They started asking me questions: what is the reason you are here for? I replied I was looking to replace the old orthopedic cushions in my shoes and proceeded to take them out of my shoes. They never said we don't sell them.
Asked me where my feet hurt and I pointed to the bottom of my feet. Are you walking OK? I replied that I lose my balance occasionally and have fallen a few times, also I walk much slower then I used to, I'm 82 years old. Dan brought out a flat board with white paper on and it had ink on the bottom. He asked me stand up and place my right foot on the paper. Pulled the paper out and asked me to do the same thing with my left foot. He then show me the spot on my feet that needed help. I've never seen anything like this before and I've been wearing orthopedic cushions in my shoes and sneakers for the last 52 years. Dan said I going to the back to find the Custom Inserts for my feet. He came back
with a Vibrating Foot Massager, which he asked me to place my feet on while he was giving me the presentation. Also a pair of Brooks Sneakers, a Soft Cushion Walking Shoe, 2 Pairs of socks, and 3 different Plastic Inserts: Strengtheners, Maintainers and Relaxers. Velcro Dots to fasten the Plastic Inserts to the bottom of your shoe. Also 2 Full Length Pads that go over the Plastic Inserts to make them feel more comfortable. I asked what is the price? Dan said first I want you to try them on and walk around the store. I did what he said, he placed hand on my shoulder so I wouldn't loose my balance and fall down. I said they hard my feet on both sides and my heel, He said you have to break them in and wear them the rest of the day. I tried walking by myself and they still hurt. I went back to my seat. He put the Vibrating Foot Massager on to calm me down and relax me. I asked again how my does it cost. He replied the whole package is $2,400. I said that I can't afford it I'm on Social Security. He said that you can finance it at no charge for 1 year with Care Credit. I said no. I should have walked out then. He said that you can have 1 pair of the Plastic Inserts for $500.00. He said that you must wear them for 2 Weeks for them to adjust to your feet . We have a Lifetime Guarantee, if your not satisfied come back and we'll adjust them. I realized after 2 days there is no way to adjust the hard plastic, you can't bend it at all.
So I said OK I'll try them. Went to the front desk paid on my credit card. When I got home I realized that I did the wrong thing. I believed that it was a SCAM. So I went on Googled their website www.goodfeet.com to check out the comments. There were other sites that claimed it was a Scam.
I did what Dan said and wore them Saturday and Sunday My feet have never felt worse. I'm in constant pain. I feel down twice, I have to use my walker that I bought and never used.
On Tuesday I called my Podiatrist, I couldn't get an appointment but I was able to see his Physician Assistant. I brought the plastic inserts with me and showed them to her. She showed the doctor who said that other patients had bought them and they damaged their feet. He said that I should never wear them.
I need help getting the $541.26 back that I spent. read more
