Can a person send in a prescription orthotic to get it replicated? I have a friend who has to keep getting replacements because he wears his down, and they are very expensive.
@iamjaymatthew Thanks for the note! Prescription orthotics are generally not repeatable, and you do have to go back in to get fitted. We are able to keep your foot digitization data so you can re-do it without extra hassle. So the answer is yes!
@iamjaymatthew Ah - for clarification - you need to go through our app flow which is about 5 minutes for the first time to get your pair created. Missed that part!
@gibbytdog Hey Troy! They are fully customized to your feet and will fit to your size. Anecdotally - our Experience Design Manager has a size 15 foot and stands 6'7" - so I can tell you with 100% confidence that these will work for you!
Similar to https://www.sols.com/. I think this is a fantastic application of 3d printing, it's something that benefits from the customization of 3D printing without requiring the mass producing that 3DP is weak at right now.
@ghobs91 Hey there! Yes - we are in the same space as SOLS today - where we differ is our design principles, price - and we have had great results in terms of optimizing for biomechanics from a third party kinematic analysis we did on our product in comparison to a bevy of others. We were seen to significantly reduce loads on knee and hip joints in particular that can translate to increased performance in endurance sports.
What we are most excited about is our ability to apply our technology to new products. We are a bionics company that is keen to create body-perfect gear. We are happy to have started from the ground up with an insole - but more to come from us!
Thanks for the note! #keepgoing

@jen_riles current SOLS user! can you speak directly re: 3rd party analysis - how do BASE and SOLS results compare to each other?

I sent about US$750 for my custom orthotics and they work great. @jen_riles is correct when she says people's shoes aren't doing them any favors. All you need to do is look at the flimsy foam insole that is is your shoe. Even high-end running shoes have terrible insoles.
@fbara Hi there! Prescriptive orthotics are definitely a great option - and are necessary for many with serious foot ailments. We are not a catch all for sure! Appreciate the note on this - and if you are ever looking for a comfort product for your other shoes (I wear mine in my converse all day and night) - give us a try! Thanks and #keepgoing!
Full disclosure: i am both an advisor and investor in the company. I met with them - in Vancouver - during TED last year. GREAT team. GREAT execution. Had no idea what a difference a proper orthotic could make for your lower back health. excited to see them get rolling.
@kenhertz THANKS KEN! You are a legend! #keepgoing

A great product and a good price. I spent a lot more money on an orthotic set up, which has stopped the wear and tear on my knees (both miniscus are torn). Without an insole my shoes wear notably on the inside heal edge, with a orthotic set up its level. Good luck with this venture!
@expatwife1 THANKS - excited to hear that. So many of us have been wearing insoles - and we just knew there had to be a better way! Have a great day.

I love to see 3D printing creating new opportunities for businesses/better solutions for consumers. Excited to see what else it brings in the future. Great business idea. Keep up the good work @jen_riles
