I’ve been here twice now to get custom orthotics. After my first time in late 2007 they didn’t keep my records on file so when I returned in early 2014 I had to have another scan of my feet(instead of the old sand foot mold). After that I looked at a pair of shoes and the sales lady didn’t know anything about them. Could really tell me if they where orthotic shoes or not. When I was waiting to pay, I could see in the managers office this huge whiteboard chart with the title«Getting the Customer to Yes», with all these diagrams of up selling. It hit me then that Kintec Footlabs is more about sales than it is about helping people get over painful foot conditions.

Disclaimer about my self: I am in no way in shape, or athletic. I do however enjoy cardio classes and going to the gym. For years I’ve struggled to find the perfect shoe, as I tend to get horrible shin and inner arch pain when I’m running or doing a class. In the past I would buy my runners from sports check or Athletes World but would come away deterred as I found they didn’t quite understand what I was asking. A friend recommend I check out Kintec Footlabs and since I was in the area on Thursday I thought I would check them a try. I really wish I could remember the girl’s name who helped me b/c she was Amazing! I highly recommend visiting this store. They give you one on one attention and really listen to your needs. She told what things I should look for when buying running shoes and tips on how to avoid shin pain. I didn’t feel pressured to buy or out of place. But it’s amazing how the runners I’ve been wearing all along are not meant for my feet. What a difference the right pair can make. I didn’t buy the shoes she recommend b/c 1) I didn’t feel like walking around with the shoes after 2) I wanted to check the price at other retail stores. — Having looked online the price for the runners she recommend(and I loved) are the same price every where. I will def be going back.
