Our Goal: We strive daily to produce the World’s Best and most durable shoe insole.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR PRODUCT AND THE “GEL” PRODUCTS? The precision fit of the insole and the physical properties of pure glycerin correct the alignment of the feet and the entire skeletal system. This realignment helps relieve everything from foot pain to knee, hip and low back pain. In addition, Pure Glycerin also serves to moderate temperature in the shoe and foot—reducing perspiration and hot feet in warmer weather and providing an insulating barrier from the cold ground in colder weather. WHAT IF I WEAR ORTHODICS? Our massaging insoles should be placed ON TOP of the orthotic. They will shape into the orthotic so as not to distort the function and will make the orthotic more comfortable. We recommend you continue wearing the orthotic, if your doctor prescribed them. s “Thank you for such great service and product. My knee feels much better when I walk and it doesn't ache by the time I get home. I now know I couldn’t live without them. I now own two pair. It is a pleasure to find a company with such great service” Jacob Kuepfer– 519-595-7430 7455 Perth Road 121– RR1 Newton, ON N0K1R0
