“Frank Was Able To Solve My Problem”

Eileen Margenat

Hello. My name is Eileen Margenat, and I was referred to Frank Giannino back in 2018.

At that time I was working full-time nights as a nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit at Westchester Medical Center, and my friend noticed me hobbling down the hallway and stopped and asked me why I was walking that way.

I said to her, I am in so much pain. I think I have a heel spur or plantar fasciitis, I’m not sure. She says you have to go see Frank. I said, Who’s Frank? She goes. He has a running store up in Middletown.

And I took her advice, and Frank spent well over an hour with me custom fitting my feet to the perfect orthotic and a new pair of sneakers.

And my friend told me in two weeks her feet were like nothing had ever been wrong. I think mine were so severe it took a little longer, maybe 3-4 weeks at the most.

But having been to two different foot doctors, all wanting to shoot me up with cortisone and charge me exorbitant prices for a custom orthotic, Frank was able to solve my problem in four weeks.

I felt like I could even start running again. It was amazing. I could not believe how good I felt, and the cost was substantially less than what the foot doctors wanted to charge me. So it was well worth my visit.

I have since referred three of my closest friends and my brother who drove all the way from Clinton, Connecticut to go see Frank.

So I appreciate his very kind and sweet demeanor, and his customer service is number one. And Frank, I hope you stay there for a long time because I can send a lot more people your way. Appreciate you so much. Thank you.

“I’m Not Feeling The Pain In My Knees And Ankles Anymore”

Jason Lichtenstein

Before I went in to see Frank I was always experiencing a lot of trouble when I was running, and I never understood why.

I was recommended to stop in and get fitted for a shoe and actually run in a shoe that was made for my foot type. After stopping in and talking to Frank, I got fitted for the right shoe.

I’ve been wearing the same shoe now for a couple of years. I’ve increased my running exponentially, and it’s not as laboring as it once was because I know that now that I’m wearing the right type of shoe and everything is working out the way it’s supposed to work out, I’m not feeling the pain I was feeling anymore in my knees and my ankles.

So thanks to the help of Frank and John helping me find the right pair of shoes, I’ve been having a much better experience with my running.

“I’m Now Able To Run Fairly Pain Free”

James Massi

My name is James Masi and I’ve been to Frank’s store many times over the years. Decades ago I did my 1st 10K. Cheap shoes, poor orthotics, I suffered greatly.

Went to see Franky G. He looked at my shoes, asked me how to stand there. He says, your shoes are wrong, you have improper orthotics.

Ever since then, that was decades ago, Frank is the only one that touches my feet.

He’s provided me over the decades with excellent shoes, the proper orthotics.

I’m now able to run fairly pain free and feel a little bit more competitive for my age. I am 68.

I’ve never had a bad experience with Frank. He’s the ultimate professional. He’s patient with his customers. He definitely goes out of his way to get to the root cause of your foot problem and does everything in his power to try to alleviate it, and get you back out on the streets.

I highly recommend Frank for all your foot needs, Thank you. Have a good day

“I’ve Been Going To Frank For 38 Years”

Rich Furst

Good morning, Rich Furst here. I’m gonna talk to you for a few minutes today about Frank Giannino.

You know, I’ve known Frank since the early 1980’s, when he first opened his store in Middletown, New York.

I went to Frank because I had had problems with severe tendinitis issues in my Achilles tendon. And I figured, hey, this guy ran across the country twice.

So what better person to go to to find out about feet and feet issues than a guy who’s probably had a lot of experience with it, so Frank’s got the experience.

But more than that, he’s also he’s very concerned about his customers. He wants to try to make things right for you.

And I’ve been going Frank for, I would say 38 years, finding the right shoe that was gonna make me feel most comfortable.

Of course, my condition was not one that a shoe could fix, although the shoes helped and so did the Superfeet orthotics. It made me very functional, so I would not even think about but my tendons unless I went out and tried to run.

So I gotta thank Frank for always being there for me. It was like he will be for anybody that walks into his store.

I’m very pleased to see that Frank is still doing what he’s been doing for all these years. So, Frank, thanks for being there for us.

Best Crossfit Shoe Experience!!

Hi Frank!!

We came in on black Friday looking for cheer shoes for my daughter. While we were there, we were talking about crossfit and what would be a good shoe. You showed me the Topo shoes that had just come in.

I haven’t had a chance to stop back in, but wanted to let you know that after two weeks of wearing them at the gym, I am very happy with them. The zero drop has certainly improved my form! Just last night, we were doing back squats and one of the spotters noticed how much more stable my feet and toes were with my new shoes. I actually was using good form for the first time in six months!!

Thanks for all of your help.

Have a very Merry Christmas. We will probably be back in the Spring before the track season begins.
