Welcome back to Good Day Stateline.
We're walking around all day on our feet.
We want to make sure we're wearing the right shoes.
Tonight, we're talking
about the perfect place to find the right shoes.
The Good Feet Store with Billy and Larry.
Thank you so much for being here with us tonight.
Thank you for having us.
You know, shoes are really important.
I recently found this out at the age of 35
that my feet I've been doing all the wrong things.
That's correct.
So it's good to chat with you guys.
Tell me a little bit, Larry,
you've been working with shoes for quite some time, right?
Actually, it's the arch supports, not the shoes.
Okay. These go inside of your shoes.
Oh, okay. So what it does is it corrects the foot.
Mm hmm. Okay.
Which aligns then up the rest of your body,
your ankles, your knees, your hips, your vertebrae,
which makes a huge, huge difference.
Okay, so how long have you been in the business
with the Good Feet store?
22 years right here in Rockford. Awesome.
So definitely something that everyone needs. Yes.
Or is it just some people need needed?
Most people I know ten people
that don't even have an acre of pain
would benefit from the orthotics because they're proactive.
Okay.
With the alignment, you have less problems
than with your of the joints, the knees,
the helps, the vertebrae and things like that,
as well as the pressure points on your feet.
One of the signs right here
shows you
the ideal footprint,
which we take a print of your foot when you first come in
and then they'll it'll show you the pressure points
we let you try on the arch supports
and you actually get to walk
around and feel the difference immediately.
That's awesome.
And that means that we do have
a lot more options when it comes to shoes.
Absolutely.
These are designed to fit
into the sandals, the heels, the flats,
the shoes that you love to be able to wear.
But you don't want you sometimes because they're
just not comfortable
just to make those shoes very comfortable for you.
That's awesome. Yeah.
So, Billy, tell me a little bit about what you do at the start.
Absolutely. I'm a sports specialist.
My job
is to personally fit people for these instruments
and make sure they're going to be comfortable
and they're going to work and integrate
right into their lifestyle.
Okay.
We want to people to keep continuing doing the stuff
they love. We want them to do it better.
We want people to realize
the potential of their feet with our inserts, not the pain.
That's exactly why we've designed inserts
that are specifically catered towards people's needs.
Awesome.
So what happens when somebody walks into the store?
What's the first step?
First thing is that we greet them.
We're going to, like I say, take a print of their foot
measurement, find out what the problems are
that they're currently having with their feet.
Then these are signs to your arch is not done by a shoe.
Size is done by our size.
We're going to people walk in, wear the exact same size shoe
with the word
driven size arch supports because the toes are different,
the heels are different, so forth.
And then what we want to do, another thing
I said, you get to walk around
and try them on and see exactly how they feel for you.
And then we explain to you how to use them in your current
life, your different activities and so forth.
So when somebody needs these arch
supports, how many does each person end up needing?
Most people wind up wearing at least three different
types of pairs.
They're designed
so that from the beginning, when you buy them,
you're going to have a supporter need your foot all the time
so that you don't have to, you know,
wear them
and then stop wearing them and so forth, like you
said, for the different shoes and so forth.
Most people wind up leaving them in the different shoes
that they were the most the the strength owner.
I leave in most of my tennis shoes,
my activity shoes and stuff like that.
The maintainer, which is the middle one there,
I pretty much leave that in my dress shoes and then my relaxer.
One of the third one, the
the black one is designed specifically to
if you want to go out to dinner or something or a movie, just
you want a little bit of support,
but you want comfort and you want to relax.
Oh, that's great for how shoe or slipper
or something like that also.
So I'm sure a lot of people are thinking, well,
what about those supports
you can just grab from the shelf or buy online?
Why are they so much better?
Because these these are going to be size exactly.
To your arch or you do not know what your shoe size
and this is doing according to your shoe size.
Yeah. This is specifically for you. Specifically.
That's correct.
Which is going to in the long run,
make your body feel better and save you money.
Absolutely.
The problem is that the shoe that you're wearing
is what the shoe isn't doing for your foot. Right.
Because there's design really to cover your foot. Okay.
So what we're really doing
is helping people improve their lives all across
the tri county area here, two feet at a time.
All right.
The last question,
because you were thinking
or we're going to have to get bigger shoes. Absolutely.
Okay, good.
You have a lot of shoes over there.
We want you to keep the shoes that you currently wear
and our system will accommodate for all of those shoes.
I like wearing my dress shoes, like you said, tennis shoes.
And I actually wear them in my flip flops.
No, put them in anything you want.
It's very simple. We actually have adhesive vocal.
We put on the shoes to keep the supports locked in place
so that you don't have to worry about changing the shoes
you want to wear.
And your shoes are more for your feet
and not for anybody else's. There you go.
And we are coming to visit you in a couple of weeks.
And so that is the perfect piece for that,
because I cannot wait to see how to do that.
Let me tell those people when they call
and we know they're coming through
through a variety of the shoes that you like to wear that
aren't comfortable in a bag. Bring them in.
We'll let you try all the different arch supports in them.
So you'll see exactly the difference.
I'm going to bring a lot of shoes to these guys.
Wait until you see. I'm going to impress you.
You can find the good feet
store everywhere you see on your screen,
you can pop open your camera and let's get that logo
and you give them a call as well.
Thank you so much for coming here, for having you.
