    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.

      ​@@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.

The British don't even mind if the voiceover has an Irish voice in the UK. For most successful Irish companies the obvious first place to expand has always been the UK.
