Foot problems such as misaligned bones and arches of the feet can lead to painful conditions throughout the body, including knee, hip, back, neck and shoulder distress. Furthermore, painful heels, calluses, hammer toes, cramps, sore legs, sore feet, corns and bunions are often only the symptom of a bigger problem
The problem actually starts from the bottom up. By taking a print of your foot and comparing it to the perfect footprint, we can in most cases, identify the cause of your pain
Instead of just supporting or addressing a specific foot problem, 30 years of research has produced an innersole with the shape and flexibility as close as possible to that of a normal healthy foot. Over time the troubled foot then conforms and thanks to a good foundation, the entire muscular and skeletal system is realigned and relieved of pressure.
The Step Forward innersole supports all three arches of the foot namely the lateral, medial transversal (Metatarsal arch).
It is also an active innersole that is flexible and redistributes the weight more evenly through the foot. Most commercial innersoles are static. In other words they do not move with the action of your foot as it hits the ground.
The Step Forward innersole will strengthen your muscles and tendons, improve blood circulation, body posture, and ensure correct weight distribution. The innersole has a 15 year guarantee, is transparent can be used in sandals or trainers, and can be transferred between different shoes.
Step Forward’` products are promoted by doctors, orthopaedic surgeons, chiropractors, osteopaths, physical therapists and sports medicine clinics all over the world.
Painful heels, calluses, hammer toes, 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.

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.
Hammer toes:
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
