I'm only 2 minutes in and already I know this guy is the type to go through everything he is going to say with a thesaurus to make himself sound more clever.
From experience - they do cost £200+ and I've got mine over 3 years ago, BUT those are extremely strong production-wise and fit in a lot of shoes, so I haven't had to buy a new pair yet and got rid of the slight discomfort in my knees.
I paid almost $500 for a pair of those bogus inserts. Not only did they not help me but I could only wear them in one pair of my shoes. You have to have a shoe that has an insert that can be removed so you can put their insert in it and how many pairs of shoes do YOU have that you can pull the insert out of? Now, with that said. Both my sister and my mother have worn shoe inserts most all of their lives and cannot walk without pain without them so they do work for some people. These guys are definitely what they say because they sound just like the doctor I went to and I had bunion surgery.
They have these sorts of machines at a runners shoe store in my neighborhood...and after watching them use it on a handful of customers while we browsed, the advice was always "you need additional ankle support"
I used one of these at a sports shop. I was having a lot of issues when I started running longer miles. They were able to tell me more about my gait and what shoe was the best for me, plus I got a custom made sole. I never had any problems after that and was able to run further, longer and so much more comfortably. I know this episode is old.
@@craigross4565there is actually something to it, believe it or not. Your gait can tell you a lot about current and future issues for example. Sir Alex Ferguson was one who was interested in signing a young Raheem Sterling for Manchester United. But when the sports scientists at the club raised issues around sterling's gait, the advice was that his career would be shortened due to the effect of it on his knees (may have been hips, I forget). Therefore the advice was not to sign Sterling.
When I see Richard Farleigh in these old uploads, I still feel so bad for him that they kicked him out. He had even moved permanently from Australia to the UK to continue on his Dragons Den journey.. but, alas, the powers that be couldn't care less and poor Richard was gutted!

@@tommydenato8863 You’ve missed the point. It was perfectly acceptable to say that back then. You can’t judge someone’s language from the past Mr hindsight.
basically every single person has a flaw on their foot and they will sell you an expensive "remedy" to fix it. the remedy for your specific fault seems to be the one-size-fits-all shoe insert!! what a scam.
Has no one else noticed this is the exact same thing as those Dr. Scholl's machines at Wal-Mart. You stand on it with your shoes off and it scans your foot and recommends which of their shoe inserts are the right fit for you. I've actually had them before and they are pretty nice 👌
@@oxymoron02 yes it's a great system. Unfortunately here we pay at point of use to see a doctor. €50 usually. So people are very accustomed to pay for l kinds of treatments, directly. Hence there are lots of private physios. Even public hospitals bill for the accommodation and food.
So many red flags with these guys. Emotionless pitch, very high prices, medical examination in like 5 seconds......, 'buy this or some day you will have a problem' This is very icky
Takes me back to late 90s/ early 00’s when folk paid £300 for insoles. The dragons dodged a bullet here- it’s all about good trainers now. 👍 ps- watched this while having breakfast…… roll on another at lunch 😃

Maybe because he was Canadian he was a bit nervous but I suspect he was just a conman.
I get that custom sole inserts can help some people but basing the results on only one step per foot makes it seem unreliable I remember seeing Dr.Scholls kiosks in stores and at least then if it need one I can get it right off the shelf on its side
They where wrong I trailed a pair or work boots made by a company using a very similar machine to this one, making separate insoles to fit the shape of my feet now everyone that works for the firm and it's a world wide one has a pair, I'm out and I don't always get it right, springs to mind.
He's not just using buzz words. He knows the science and knows if you break it down that if you use an insole, your walking posture and your whole upper leg and body will change for the better.

If they had these insoles when I was younger maybe they would have helped me instead of plaster casts and splints.

tbf i do wear orthotic insoles in my shoes and they alleviated my back and hip pain really well - i think they may actually have something useful if they could sell it
do not know what they turned out, but the same tech is available all over now. went to a clinic in sweden that did a similar scan of my feet to make inserts.
@@kerberos623 my chiropractor sold me those several years ago. He said they were a Candian company . had exactly the same setup and sent data to Canada .Insoles would be delivered 4 or 5 weeks later. If he could get that .Cant see why any other qualified practitioner wouldnt be ableto
@Liz.Proving.Demons ᎷᎾᎠ maybe, the problem with going to Blackpool is that it's Blackpool. I did read you can keep them chilled after harvesting for up to two weeks so a little venture somewhere might actually be worth it
I had the same suspicion. Real doctors wouldn't be trying to flog this system. They are just chiropractors. The Dr is just a courtesy title, which makes them sound legitimate.
This reminds me of how Scientologists get people to do their free personality tests and no matter what the result, they try to convince them that something’s wrong with them.
While it may seem that way most people do in fact have biomechanical issues with their feet. Flat arches being the most common, over pronation, under probation. All sorts. Very few people, but yes some people have nothing wrong with the feet or their gait. But it doesn’t mean this guys or podiatrists in general are trying to scam you out of money for something you don’t need.

Sadly these entrepreneurs believed their pitch was a shoe in until the dragons gave them the boot. Accepting defeet and turning on their heels to flee was the only thing left for them to do. No doubt one of them has a rich ankle that invested.

tbf i do wear orthotic insoles in my shoes and they alleviated my back and hip pain really well - i think they may actually have something useful if they could sell it
It too expensive to sell.
Anyone know how they ended up turning out? It was a pretty good idea. And it seemed to work in Ireland.
do not know what they turned out, but the same tech is available all over now. went to a clinic in sweden that did a similar scan of my feet to make inserts.
U can probably Google it.
@@kerberos623 my chiropractor sold me those several years ago. He said they were a Candian company . had exactly the same setup and sent data to Canada .Insoles would be delivered 4 or 5 weeks later. If he could get that .Cant see why any other qualified practitioner wouldnt be ableto
The company was liquidated when the 2 guys became arch enemies
The Canadian got itchy feet and left the company

Duncan: Dyoo think we're dumb?
Also Duncan: Does every electric toothbrush have a battery in them?
Theoretically, it can have a cable
They were a right couple of plonkers!
Yes, but apart from that they were okay.

@Liz.Proving.Demons ᎷᎾᎠ maybe, the problem with going to Blackpool is that it's Blackpool. I did read you can keep them chilled after harvesting for up to two weeks so a little venture somewhere might actually be worth it
Go to Bury market
I think I'll have some sole in the oven tonight for dinner

THEO THE FETUS
I find myself wondering if they are " Doctors"
I had the same suspicion. Real doctors wouldn't be trying to flog this system. They are just chiropractors. The Dr is just a courtesy title, which makes them sound legitimate.
Oh cyberspace, that means it's like the future or something. One day I hope to drive on the information superhighway
1:25 "to our lavatory" WHAT? XD
Just here for Richards lustrous locks
This reminds me of how Scientologists get people to do their free personality tests and no matter what the result, they try to convince them that something’s wrong with them.
While it may seem that way most people do in fact have biomechanical issues with their feet. Flat arches being the most common, over pronation, under probation. All sorts. Very few people, but yes some people have nothing wrong with the feet or their gait. But it doesn’t mean this guys or podiatrists in general are trying to scam you out of money for something you don’t need.
These two are not medical doctors, only chiropractors.

I think the gent on the left would be more suited in a Krays film going round duffing people up, certainly looks like a Kray, that part would suit him
Like the crustaceans? Or do you mean the krays?
@@No-mn3bw The Krays. Didn't realise i spelt it with a "C". I've corrected it now
Did Theo just get his first foot job
This only makes sense to people who have serious foot problems, like I do. Orthotics are not cheap.
