Foot Solutions Takes Care of Donations and Feet for Run

Foot Solutions Locations in the U.S., Canada and the Bahamas Are Accepting Donations for the Blue Planet Run Foundation and Assisting the Runners with Free Biomechanical Foot Assessments, Custom Arch Supports and Footwear

Foot Solutions is proud to support the Blue Planet Run by accepting donations to the cause at all of its 230 franchise locations in the U.S., Canada and the Bahamas and is providing free vital foot care assistance to the runners along the route.

Participating Foot Solutions locations will be donating $10 to the Blue Planet Foundation for every custom accommodative insert sold between now and the end of the year.

As the industry leader in specialty footwear, custom inserts and technology driven health and wellness products, we are uniquely positioned to assist in this worthy cause, said CEO and founder Ray Margiano. Proper footwear, starting with foot and gait analysis, is critical to the success of this run, Margiano said.

Margaret Sue Bozgoz, Foot Solutions elite running coach who is serving as the running coach/advisor for Blue Planet Run agrees. “Frequently, it’s what’s inside a runner’s shoe that can make the difference between success and failure. Custom orthotics and a shoe that is biomechanically correct for a specific individuals foot can help put the runner in proper balance and, in turn, improve the alignment of the rest of the body,” Bozgoz said.

For some of the runners like Richard Johnson, custom orthotics, made to within a 10th of a millimeter of the exact contour of his foot, are the key to crossing the finish line. Johnson, a thirty-one year old renowned jazz musician who has performed with musical greats such as Herbie Hancock and Wynton Marsalis, and who is an avid runner, suffered from Achilles Tendonitis until he found Foot Solutions.

Once Foot Solutions fit him with a custom orthotic he immediately began to feel relief and could resume full training.

Foot Solutions has helped millions overcome a myriad of biomechanical conditions since its inception in 2000. With more than 230 franchise locations worldwide, the company provides a unique service to its clients focusing on sports, improving balance, performance, running without pain, injury preventions and, improving the healing process.

Their concept is innovative because the highly trained staff uses digital computerized foot scanning technology to analyze and fit each client and their specific foot care needs. Foot Solutions 10-step fitting process means a fitting specialist will spend an average of 30 to 45 minutes with each client to ensure that they are in the properly designed shoe including customized, accommodative inserts and arch supports to fit and support each and every unique foot shape.

The company targets 18 health problems that are eliminated or greatly alleviated by their products including heel and arch pain; diabetic foot disorders, arthritis and sports injuries.
“We find solutions for people whose feet hurt,” said Margiano,” Consequently, we also help a lot of people who have knee, joint and back problems,” he said.
