Hey @Dan - Thanks for the note! We have some pretty brilliant humans with superior computer vision talents - coupled with a biomechanical engineering team that work hand in hand with them. We are lucky enough to have been wearing them for months - and even my mutantly high arch has been mastered!

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!

This looks awesome.
Custom insoles are always a hassle, I just hope they can stand by the 3D modeling of the leg.
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.
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?

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!
@troypetrunoff Hey Troy - I am a massive supinator with the highest arches on the planet. Totally your opposite:) But similarly saved by BASE insoles. We have great track record with flat feet in particular. Glad to hear it! Thanks for reaching out!
