Overview

 

87% of the population has a foot-related problem and their feet may not even hurt.

Step Forward gives you two ways to make you and your feet feel better from the ground up.

Painful heels, calluses, hammertoes, cramps, sore legs, sore feet, corns, back aches and bunions are only the symptoms of a bigger problem. Hard surfaces, improper footwear, old age and gravity are the major factors that lead to structural malfunction of the musculoskeletal system.

When foot posture is incorrect the entire body structure is incorrect. Weak or misaligned bones and arches can lead to painful conditions throughout the body including knee, hip, back, neck and shoulder distress.

Most foot supports are made to fit the unbalanced or troubled foot. Step Forward's innersoles are made in the shape of a normal foot so that in time, your foot will conform to the shape of the orthotic. If worn properly the muscles and ligaments are realigned, thus eliminating fatigue and related discomfort.

Our approach is this: The foot will change its shape from wearing improper footwear, therefore the foot can regain its balance or posture from wearing our well-balanced foot orthotic.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Canada, the United States and other countries wear this type of orthotic. Step Forward's products are sold by doctors, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, osteopaths, physical therapists, and sports medicine clinics.

All of our products include a limited 90 day wearing warranty.

Your Foot's Arch

The arches of the foot are formed by the combination of the bone and muscle structure.

They consist of three arches: the longitudinal, metatarsal, and medial arch.

The largest and best known of the foots arches is the medial arch, which forms the hollow at the palm of the foot. The smaller longitudinal arch, on the outside of the foot, lies parallel to the medial arch. The metatarsal arch reaches across the foot immediately behind the toes.

Common Foot Ailments

Calluses and Corns:

Underlying bone problems can cause excessive irritation. Where shoes repeatedly rub, dead skin cells pile up, creating calluses on the bottom of the foot and corns on the toes.

Hammertoes:

Produced by a muscle imbalance which causes the end joints of one or two (or more) smaller toes to bend down, while the closer joints bend up. Another cause may be Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome.

Bunions:

Painful when the bursa sac becomes inflamed from irritation caused by spreading of the fore foot, pronation, supination or imbalance.

Plantar Neuroma:

A nerve growth that often accompanies metatarsalgia. It develops when the nerve between two metatarsal heads are pinched and bruised. Symptom: A burning numbness or electric shock sensation in the ball of the foot caused by tight shoes, repeated impacts or jolts to the forefoot or by a dropped metatarsal arch.

Heel Pain:

A chronic inflammation of the plantar fascia, a ligament-like structure that passes from the heel to forefoot. The inflammation is caused by the fascia partially pulling away from the heel. A bony spur - which may or may not cause pain - can also develop here, caused by excessive heel rotation, excessive heel pounding, longitudinal arch weakness, and/or stretched plantar muscles
