Testimonials

Dr Odette Reader, Chiropractor from Salisbury SA, Australia, says:

I am even more impressed with the Step Forward orthotics because I have had knee surgery, some 35 years ago, and then hurt my knee in the snow in Canada last Xmas. I had constant 'bone pain' knee pain with a severe limp for 6 months even with chiropractic management (my chiropractor is a trained and qualified sports chiropractor). Nevertheless the knee pain was so intense of a non-stop nagging pain that both my chiropractor and myself were looking at possible surgical intervention. It was at the Congress in June 2005 that I put in the orthotics (in my normal pair Spanish leather fitted shoes) and within minutes the knee pain stopped for the first time in 6 months. Maybe now you can see how pleased and convinced I am about the orthotics and the management of knee pain!

I have worn podiatric orthotics supplied by a variety of podiatrists in Canada and Australia for almost 40 years. They were prescribed for me due to muscle cramping when I was competitive swimming and weight lifting. I have found that I would de-compensate after some months of wear and developed persistent low back pain and headaches. I would need to take them out until the foot pain (plantar fasciitis) or back pain (scoliosis) became worse and then a new pair of orthotics would relieve this pain for months. This cycle has continued for all these years. My brother-in-law is a podiatrist! I still like your products better!! User friendly, practical and functional (no gross matronly shoes!).

Lars Lindin from Uppsala, Sweden, says:

After 26 years of clinical work at the University hospital in Uppsala, Sweden, as a physiotherapist, I started my own business. Two years ago I came across Step Forward and from the beginning I WAS very sceptical mainly because there are other actors, brands on the market and because I didn't understand fully the "philosophy" behind. For one year I let friends, former colleagues and my wife test the orthotics. From all positive response, I did understand that this was something unique and something worthwhile introducing on the Scandinavian market, which I have done for almost one year now. I feel more and more confident with the product. Having served many satisfied clients, I am convinced that I can help people, that my business will be successful and that Step Forward will grow.

Adriyana from Canberra ACT, Australia, says:

I recently bought a pair of orthotics from your company at the small farming show in Queanbeyan. They are great. I would like to buy some for my father now as he too suffers from feet pain. (2006)

Colin Bareham from Pymble NSW, Australia, says:

A Miracle Cure – I Think So! After years of aching calves and ‘red hot’ burning sensations in my heels I came across salvation at the Adelaide Home Show. The team there tested my footprint and suggested a solution. They seemed to know exactly how much pain I was in. The solution was simple – wear the corrective inserts, stick to the program and it would get better. Here I am one year later and write this testimonial that after a few days it felt much better and after a few weeks it began to matter less and less. No more aches & pains. In fact I definitely feel better all over. (2006)

Margot Hays from Albury NSW, Australia, says:

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. (2006)

Jane Hargreaves from Kew VIC, Australia, says:

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. (2006)

Sue Poole from VIC, Australia, says:

We bought the orthotics in Bendigo 3 years ago and we have found them so comfortable. John is wearing them all the time & they have relieved the pain in his knees & ankles and no trouble with sore heels. They are just wonderful & we are two happy customers. You wouldn't think they could make so much difference - just try them!! (Mar 07)

Joan Sim from Auckland, NZ, says:

I have a pair of your orthotics and they are just marvellous. I have spoken to a friend about them as she has the same problem as I had...........have you an agent in NZ yet? (Apr 07)

O. Bates from VIC, Australia, says:

The best health product I have ever invested in! (Sep 07)

Harlene from Melbourne VIC, Australia, says:

I bought step forward orthotics at the Older and Bolder exp in Melbourne in August. I am getting a result-even though it's slow but I can see and feel a change in my feet. As an ex dancer I have a bunion on my left foot and my right foot had a smaller bunion. I would say my right foot has had the most dramatic change as there is even a small space between my big toe and 2nd toe - where they used to be touching! My left foot is a little slower to come good but I can see a small change. I am glad I bought them and wish I had bought them earlier in my life! I am 36 years old. (Sep 07)

Heather from Bacchus Marsh VIC, Australia, says:

My daughter has just broken in a pair, wearing now for 3 weeks & is fulltime and she is rapt with the result – pain in legs & feet has diminished considerably. (Sep 07)

Bharat from Hillarys WA, Australia, says:

I bought these at the Perth Show last year and have worn them everyday with different shoes. This product has completely eliminated my knee problem and reduced my back ache. It actually works and has made a lot of difference. Thank you for recommending it - very impressed! (Sep 07)

Edwin from Nedlands WA, Australia, says:

I used to suffer from severe pain in both legs and heels and especially in the calves until I made a decision to try the orthotics. At first it was somewhat difficult to get used to the inserts in my shoes but after several weeks I felt a marked difference in my legs and finally the pain completely disappeared. I do not have the problem in my legs any longer. I recommend the orthotics to anyone with this problem. (Sep 07)

Jim Hall from Rosebud, VIC, Australia, says:

At 64 years of age the problems are: 1. Arthritis in the knees. 2. Flat Feet. When compared with others, this is a good deal!! Following big expenses with podiatry and orthotics over 50 years with no real benefit, I enquired at the Caravan Show, Caulfield Race Course two and a half years ago. It is now nearly two years since I got my Step Forward Orthotics. they are great and I don't walk around in circles any more. Highly recommended. (Oct 07)

Stella Hammond from Croydon South, VIC, Australia, says:

I am very aware of the importance of taking good care of my feet, especially as I do a lot of walking and both my mother and my grandmother suffered from bunions and other foot problems. About 5 years ago, I started to need chiropractic treatment on my feet as I was getting swollen "bunion" joints and aching feet. But since getting my Step Forward Orthotics, about two years ago, I haven't needed to have chiropractic treatment. My orthotics are comfortable and support my feet in the correct position. I transfer them from my work shoes to my hiking boots with no bother at all. I am very pleased with them. (Oct 07)

Brian French from Safety Beach, WA, Australia, says:

I purchased Step Forward Orthotics at the Perth Home Show 2006 and have worn them since. I have lost my burning feet sensation. I managed to use them full time within one week. I would highly recommend this product. (Oct 07)

Norm from Perth, WA, Australia, says:

I purchased my Step Forward Orthotics in November 2006. I am in the construction industry and on my feet all day. Since purchasing the orthotics a lot of my back pain has gone, as well as the aches in my feet. (Nov 07)

Josephine from Mount Claremont, WA, Australia, says:

Give your feet a present - they deserve it! I bought my orthotics a year ago. My toes have been very scrunched up since World War II when I wore shoes that were too small. I have been wearing the orthotics for one year and my feet are gradually improving. It is ongoing. (Nov 07)

Ellen Loecherer from Reservoir, VIC, Australia, says:

I bought the Step Forward Orthotics at a show in the Exhibition Centre. At first I did not want to buy them because I had bought other ones from Chemists and Podiatrists. I became curious because I could wear them in sandals too and also my toes would lay free. I am wearing the right shoes, so I thought I would give them a try. In the beginning I had a lot of problems because I left them in my shoes for too long, so I had corns between my toes and had to wait until they healed up. After that time, my feet got used to it and I am wearing them every day in every shoe and sandal and also in my slippers. I feel taller because I am going straighter. In my two weeks' holiday I wore them every day in my shoes. I am very happy now and I do highly recommend them. Just take it easy, your feet will tell you when they are ready to wear them all day and all the time in any shoe or sandal. (Nov 07)

Len & Annette Penny from Bright, VIC, Australia, says:

Both my wife and I had the chance while on holidays to fully work on the recommended day-by-day, week-by-week settling/wearing-in of our orthotics. This eventually paid off as we didn't have any troubles - even minor ones. So far Annette has steady improvement (for an 88 year old!) in her toes. She has noticed the problem of her toes curling under slowly straightening out. For myself, no more cold feet during winter (in the past I always wore two pairs of socks - now only one light pair). My big problem was having to use a spacer between my right big toe, and the bump behind the big toe. Now both problems have diminished - no spacer and 'bump' more comfortable. (Nov 07)
