“As a former Div I golfer and current mid-amateur competitor, I could not be more impressed with the VFAS orthotics. I was contemplating withdrawing from an upcoming event due to nagging second metatarsal capsulitis. I had already spent hundreds of dollars on custom orthotics and even more on various shoes, all with no relief. The VFAS orthotics were fitted in weight-bearing and the fitter made numerous live adjustments based on how my feet reacted. In about ten minutes, I walked away with enough immediate relief to walk all 18 holes. Presently, I have no pain while walking or playing golf. My VFAS orthotics, even though heavily worn initially, have not lost shape/form or support. Thank you VFAS and to
the therapists who took the time and effort to develop a convenient method for orthotic
fabrication in a functional weight-bearing position!”
