Frank’s Custom Shoe-Fitting

The “Shoe” Club

Shoe Club

If you’ve been a customer or been following what we do here at the store you know that John and I use only high-quality products.

We make sure that we don’t offer cheap or low-quality products.  That’s because we truly want what works best for anyone who needs help with their feet.

But we also want to make sure that what we offer is competitive and fair for anyone who needs something for their feet. 

And to really help with this we decided to now open up the “Shoe Club.”

What Is The Shoe Club?

After purchasing a pair of shoes, boots or inserts you will have the opportunity to enroll in the “Shoe Club.”


It’s a program where instead of you buying your next pair of shoes, boots, or inserts and paying for it upfront, you pay a monthly installment for either the shoes, boots, or inserts.

Here is the breakdown in pricing.

Kid’s Shoes – $10/ month
Adult shoes – $15/month
Inserts – $15/ month
Boots $20/ Month

For example, after you purchase the first pair of adult shoes (at the normal rate) you can then enroll in the Shoe Club.

That means that you pay $15/month towards the next pair of shoes instead of paying full price when you need them.

Then when you are ready for a new pair you can apply what you’ve paid into the Shoe Club program towards that pair.

Doing it this way keeps you from having to pay the bigger one-time cost for the shoes.

And the longer you’re in the program the less you will owe at the time of picking up the shoes.  You can even end up with a credit.

Here are examples of how it will work based on a $120 pair of Adult shoes

At 4 months
$15/ month x 4 months = $60 paid.   You would owe $60 at the time of pickup. 

At 6 months
$15/ month x 6 months = $90 paid.  You would owe $30

At 8 months
$15/month x 8 months = $120 paid. You would owe $0.

At 10 months
$15/month x 10 months = $150 paid. You have a $30 credit.

***Important Details (Terms) For The Shoe Club***

– The shoe club applies to any shoe, boot, or Superfeet insert we have available. No custom orthotics at this time.

– You can use the Shoe Club for multiple items at once too. If you want to enroll for shoes and inserts at the same time you can. The monthly cost will reflect multiple items. For example, 1 pair of shoes ($15/month) plus an insert ($15/month) would be $30/ month. Also, that total amount can be applied to whatever you want as well. For example, if you don’t want to pick up a 2nd pair of inserts but are paying for them monthly, you can apply that money to something else such as another pair of shoes at the time of pickup.

– You must buy the first pair of shoes, boots, or inserts as you normally would. Which means you pay for the normal full cost of them. Once you do that you can then choose to enroll in the Shoe Club for any of those products going forward.

– You must notify us or stop in prior to picking up any future pair of shoes, boots, or inserts. (We need to make sure we have everything in stock. If not we will order it.) If it’s a kids’ shoe you must stop in prior to picking up the next pair. We have to measure your child’s foot to make sure it is the correct size.

– You can use the balance in your “Shoe Club” at any time.

– No refunds.

So this that’s it.

If you’re interested in this you can either stop by the store or schedule an appointment by choosing a date and time below.

The Lock And Load Shoe Lacing Technique

Below there is a walk-through video on to do what I call the lock and load shoe lacing technique.

Basically it’s a high loop, a low loop, and a cinch to bring it all together.

If you’re not sure what that means then check out the vidoe below.

We’re always showing people different ways to lace their shoes depending on what can help them.

The lock and load shoe lacing technique is great to help lock the heel in place so the shoe doesn’t move. But what’s really good is it frees up pressure on the bone on the top of the foot.

So you’ll have a very sucure fit with your shoes and less pressure on the top of your foot.

Here’s the walkthrough video on how to do it.

If you have any questions about this shoe lacing technique just let us know.

Why Your Shoe Size May Be Wrong

Did you know your shoe size may be wrong?

In fact, one of the biggest things I see is people in the wrong size shoes.

Simply having a shoe that fits properly can alleviate a lot of the foot issues they’re having. 

Just because you can fit your foot into a shoe doesn’t mean that it’s the right fit.

So a lot of times that’s why I like to size feet using a Brannock device.

This gives a really good breakdown of the width and length of your feet.

But, what if I told you that the Brannock device may show you as a certain width and length but that still may be wrong.

 

Would you believe me?

Well, in the video below I show why this is exactly the case and what else determines the true size of your feet.

I think you’ll like this one. So take a look.

Gift Certificates For The Holiday Season

So the holiday season is here. That means lots of shopping, and sometimes not knowing what to get your family and/or friends.

So gift certificates are always a great option.

And I wanted to remind you that gift certificates are available here at the store.

All you have to do is simply stop by and pick one up.

If you have any questions just call at 845-342-9226

Introducing The “Kids” Club

So John and I have decided to do something we’ve never done before.

We’re calling it the Kids club.

If you have or had kids then you know how quickly their feet grow.

Sometimes it seems like the moment you buy a new pair of shoes they’ve outgrown them.

And you know what that means?

It means, you’ve constantly got to buy a new pair of shoes for your kids. 

Which adds up.. $$$$

So we wanted to do something to solve this problem. 

And we’re calling it the Kids Club.

In the video below you’ll learn what it’s all about. So make sure you take a look at this

 

Here’s What The Kids Club Is

It’s a program where instead of you buying a pair of kids shoes and paying for it upfront, you pay a $10 a month installment for the shoes.

So after you pick up the first pair of kids shoes (at the normal rate) you can enroll in the Kids Club. That means that you pay $10/month towards the next pair of shoes instead of paying for them upfront when you need them.

Then when your kid(s) are ready for a new pair you can apply what you’ve paid into the Kids Club program towards that pair.

Doing it this way keeps you from having to pay the bigger one time cost for the shoes.

And the longer you’re in the program the less you will owe at the time of picking up the shoes.  You can even end up with a credit.

 

Here are examples of how it will work based on a $60 pair of kids shoes

At 4 months
$10/ month x 4 months = $40 paid.   You would only owe $20 at the time of pickup. 

At 6 months
$10/ month x 6 months = $60 paid.  You would owe $0

At 8 months
$10/month x 8 months = $80 paid. You would have a credit of $20.

***Important Details (Terms) For The Kids Club***

– Right now the kids club is only for ages 5 and under.

– You must buy the first pair of shoes as you normally would. Which means you pay for the normal full cost of them. Once you do that you can then choose to enroll in the Kids Club for any kids shoes going forward.

– You must stop in with your child prior to picking up the next pair of shoes. (We need to size the child’s foot and make sure we have the shoe in stock. If not we will order it.)

– No refunds.

So this that’s it.

If you’re interested in this you can either stop by the store or schedule an appointment by choosing a date and time below.

We’ve Got More Kids Shoes

That’s right. We’ve got more kids shoes.  All different brands, models, styles and colors.

We’ve got kids shoes for any age and any size.

This has been a long time coming and we’re really excited for this.

That’s because there hasn’t been a lot of focus on actually getting kids the “right” shoes that actually fit well.

So not only do we have all these kids shoes…

We will also take time to measure and size them properly. We’ll also take a look at how they’re developing.

All of this will help find the perfect shoe for you kids.

So take a look at the video below and see what we’ve got for you.

Orthotics And Insoles Overview

When it comes to the orthotics and insole industry it’s expanding quite a bit.

More and more people are turning to orthotics for…

-A better fit.
-Performance.
-And to alleviate pain issues.

So we wanted share with you a short video breaking down what is actually taking place in the industry so that way you have a better idea about how orthotics and insoles can benefit you.

Not only that, you’ll learn about the difference between the orthotics and insoles and which companies are producing solid products.

So take a look at the video below.

If you have any questions just let us know.

 

The Aftersport Slide Sandal Overview

More and more you will see people wearing sandals around. And not just to the beach.

They’re becoming more and more popular.

Especially after you’ve been on your feet all day, or have finished a run, or even just want something simple to wear.

So the shoe industry is paying attention and now making sandals that aren’t just some pieces of cheap rubber molded together.

And this is where the aftersport slide sandals come in.

I wanted to share a quick video with you to show you what types of quality sandals there are…

And a bit more on what sets them apart. So take a look at the video below to learn more about the aftersport sandals.

If you’d like to try a pair of the aftersport sandals, schedule an appointment below.

The Superfeet Aftersport&™ Sandal Slide Review

Here is the Superfeet Aftersport™ Sandal Slide review.

At the end of the day, your feet have taken thousands of steps and have had to manage thousands of pounds of pressure.

Multiply that if you went for a long run or did some sort of physical exercise.

So it makes sense that they may need a “break.”

They need to recover.

Obviously the best way to do that is to get off your feet and let them relax.

But sometimes that’s just not possible.

So what can you do?

Well, you can wear what’s called a recovery sandal.

And Superfeet has a good pair called the Aftersport™ Sandal Slide.

What makes these unique is that they can actually be custom made to fit your foot. Which is pretty cool, honestly.

And you can learn more about that and what these sandals are like by checking out the quick review below

These are some pretty good recovery sandals. Feel free to let me know what you think about the Superfeet Aftersport™ Slide Sandals.

The “On” Cloud Series

So I wanted to quick little live video on the “ON” shoe company. They have a series of shoes that they call the cloud series.

It’s pretty unique, and I really like them. On top of that, they’ve been every helpful for customers as well.

This video will show you the different options of shoes that are in the cloud series.

Hoka Evo Jawz Shoe Review

The Hoka Evo Jawz is designed specifically for the trails. In this video review (below) you can see exactly why this is a trail shoe.

Not only that, it’s not a bad looking shoe (in my opinion).

So if you’re looking for a lightweight but aggressive trail shoe…

The Hoka Evo is definitely something to consider.

Check out the video below to learn more about the shoe.

Hoka Challenger ATR 4 Review

Among all the shoe reviews we’ve done here the last one we did was an overview of trail shoes.

Well, we thought it’d be a good idea to do individual reviews of some of the shoes we covered in the overview video.

What you’ll see below is a quick video review of the Hoka Challenger ATR 4.

You’ll see all the features, and what makes it a “trail shoe.”

So check it out

The Trail Shoe Overview

Here’s a little trail shoe overview for you.

Since one of the fastest growing segments in the shoe industry is that of trail shoes, things can get a little overwhelming with all the options out there.

It makes sense this segment is growing fast.

That’s because more and more people are running the obstacle course/mud races, and out on the trails.

Previously your best options for something like this would be hiking boots or regular sneakers. There were very few in-between options.

But now there are quite a few.

So I recorded a quick video for you to break down some of the different options out there so you can get a good sense of what’s available.

The great thing about many of these shoes is they can be used as an everyday shoe as well.

So if you’re into obstacle course running, hiking/ walking or just an everyday type of shoe take a look at this video.

If you’d like to try a pair on just scroll down and schedule an appointment.

The Alegria TRAQ Review

Now I can honestly say the Alegria TRAQ is different.

It’s the first shoe I’ve ever stocked that has a digital chip in it. This chip acts as a pedometer. It links up via Bluetooth with an app you can install on your smartphone.

Once they’re linked together it’ll track your steps, and do some other pretty cool things.

The great part is, they actually make a solid shoe. It’s not a gimmick, joke, or anything like that. It’s good.

It also looks pretty good.

And here’s a quick video of the Alegria TRAQ. You’ll see what it looks like and some of the other features that it has.

So take a look.

The 361 Sensation 3 Shoe Review

Well, The 361 brand is moving along well. They are now onto the 3rd version of their popular Sensation 3 model.

There were some changes that were made from version 2. One of the big ones was trimming it down to save some weight.

And they did that without sacrificing support and comfort.

There were also a bunch of other changes that seemed to really help the shoe. Take a look at the video below to see what the Sensation 3 looks like and what some of the other changes are.

How Custom Shoe Orthotics Are Created

One of the big elements of what I do to help people find solutions to their foot problems is to use custom orthotics.

Every week I get a lot of questions about the process. From what would be right for the person, to how does it all work?

So I created a video that explains the exact process that’s used in the store to create custom orthotics.

Take a look at how it all works below…

If you watch this and are not sure if you need inserts or custom orthotics, or if you know you need orthotics…

Just schedule a time to come in. Either John or I will get you up and running with everything. That way you can start feeling better.
