You Too Can Have These Results!

Step Forward (the international orthotic specialist) has over 30 years experience, and is still small enough to care. 

"I love the orthotics!  I had been to a Podiatrist and paid $1,500 – I was pushed and pulled and told to lie down. Really weird and very expensive and it didn’t work!  Then I was at the Easter Show and I watched what they did and it just made sense. It’s logical and practical.   I was so pleased I had found them; so I thought I’d try Step Forward Orthotics.  I was given all the information and  the exercise programme,  but I didn’t really listen. I just left them in my shoes and they helped enormously. My knees stopped aching and I noticed the things like corns under my feet vanished.  I’m totally happy and I’ve just got a second pair. I use them daily – I put them in my crocs, I use a stick-on velcro dot and wear them on my sandels too. I love them!"

"I am on my feet a lot all day plus when I sing at gigs at night. It can be quite tiring with dancing and keeping my feet moving. I had really flat feet before and they got hot and sweaty and a little smelly. They also ached quite a bit. Now I find the orthotics keep my feet cool and they don't swell up or sweat. I find it easy to be on my feet all day and night and to walk.  I just take them from my boots to my shoes, it's no trouble.  I also found it really easy to get used to them, it didn't take very long at all."

"I had heel spurs and to start with had trouble walking distances - I walk a lot.  I also needed arch supports as my arches were dropping.   They work very well and I would recommend them to others" 

-Val from Birkdale, Auckland, New Zealand.

 "I always had heel and knee problems as I stand continuously at the markets. I can't go without them now, they're in every pair of shoes. Awesome!"

"I had a sore back and when I put the orthotics on it felt better straight away! I was amazed. They also  felt really comfortable"

"Hi Team. I bought your orthotics last Wednesday at the Henty Field Days. I am very pleased with the orthotics and just wanted to let you know I was able to wear them all day by the following Saturday to my surprise. They feel so good, so spreading the word. Thanks."

"I had been having trouble with my back, my feet and lower legs, painful getting up and going in the morning, poor circulation, aching at night……But here it is mid-March….I feel 100% better. My biggest fear now is losing them!"

"Both my GP and I are astounded that in just 3 weeks I am able to wear my normal shoes (a couple needed heel grips) with minimal discomfort (which only occurs if I have been on my feet for most of the day). We both really thought I would have to have surgery on the hammer toe which would have meant 4 weeks without being able to drive and work and possibly up to 6 weeks before I could resume normal working duties. The surgery cost was going to be in excess of $1,200 but this alternative plus the physical therapy suggested in the literature, is indicating I will not need to have it done. At 62 I have given the really high heels away but still enjoy pretty, feminine feet with a little heel."

 - Jane Hargreaves from Kew VIC, Australia,

"I purchased the stepforward orthotics from you at the Tauranga Home show two weeks ago.  Read all the instructions carefully and put them into my shoes for 5 minutes twice on the first day.  Agony.  So did 5 minutes again the next day, then cruised through to 45 minutes (including walking 4 k's each day in them as we train for our big Europe Adventure) by the end of the first week.  As I do not move around or stand constantly I have found it possible to wear them for several hours each day since then.  I take them off about lunchtime for an hour or two - just to air my feet really - and I must 'fess I can feel some changes in my hips, ankles and knees, but not enough to hurt, more of a re-alignment.

I am very conscious that my balance is better, with my weight distributed evenly across the whole of each foot when I stand still (I have always locked my knees and either been on ball or heel - a very wobbly thing).  I have heaps more energy than before and believe that I am standing taller.

Yesterday we went to a 40th birthday party and I put the orthotics into my dress shoes (a 2" cuban heel) and they were very comfortable - it was stand around and chat style and I had no problems at all.

We leave for Europe on Tuesday and will be away 6 weeks.  I am going with tremendous confidence that I will be able to walk comfortably on all the tours.  Will report back on our return."

"I had foot pain in the evenings, after work. It took three weeks to get used to wearing them, then I wore them solidly for three months. I could feel the difference after three weeks, good results, no pain, my problems have gone"
