    We all need to get on the same page. 
    I never applied for **** ****** 
    I have not reported any card stolen or lost to **** ******.
    I have not requested another card be sent to me

    I went into the Good Feet Store and the salesman named ***** sold me some arch supports. ***** texted three texts to my cell phone. I was under the impression that he was just checking to make sure I owned the phone and was who I said I was. As the text came on my phone Aidan said I did not need to answer them as he sent the three texts to me. All three texts are within a minute of each other. I did not fill out any application for credit cards nor did I fill out an application for **** ****** at any time while I was in the Good Feet Store. All the business I was doing with Aidan was for the Good Feet Store only. No one nor Aidan told me anything about **** ******* I was told that Good Feed would allow me to pay the bill over eighteen months  so I paid $****** on the balance and said ok to the balance being paid over the next eighteen months.

    Later I got a Credit card in the mail for medical service. I took it to my care team and was told to put it in the trash because it was not theirs.  Later I found out that the Good Feet store and **** ****** were connected using my name and I contacted the BBB and **** ****** Company  about FRAUD.

    I told a woman that I would have my son in *****. to return the other items by the end of  November but he is in the Marines and has been deployed so I am not able to reach him.

    Transaction was made 8/30/2023 for ******* at the Good Feet Store in ********, ****. I was told that there was no trial period to see if these inserts were actually going to alleviate my pain, so they told me to apply for credit as a "loophole." After I wore for a week following their 3-step plan, my feet were getting more painful that I could not keep following the plan. I went to return them and they informed me that it was exchange only but I am incredibly dissatisfied with the product and I don't want to try anything else as my feet are aching more than what they promised. This tactic is very predatory and customers should be warned.

    On July 18th 2023 my mother and I purchased shoe inserts from The Good Feet Store in ********. Total amount was over $4000.00. We were presented with a system of 3 sets of inserts each. I asked the sales associate, before our transaction was complete, if it was possible to only purchase 1 set of inserts each (I knew that we would not require or use the other 2 sets). I was told "no" that is how it's sold. So I completed my purchase. On the receipt they stamped a stamp that said " No Refunds" which we were asked to initial. About 1 week later I was reading reviews from people who had only purchased 1 or 2 sets. So I contacted their corporate office to ask why I was told what I was told. They forwarded my concern to the manager of the store I made my purchase at. I received a call from the manager and he said that that is the only way it is sold. I asked him if he stood by what he just said to me and he said yes. I told him about the reviews I saw and he said they must be old reviews. So I went to their website, again, to try and find what their policies are. I found none. What I did find was at least 7 reviews saying they only purchased 1 or 2 sets of inserts. So I emailed them asking for someone to communicate with me to possibly resolve my issue. I have sent a total of 21 emails. I have received 3 responses. 2 were to ask me , for the location of my purchase and the third was to reiterate what their product can do for their customers. My most recent emails were to ask if they offer any alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as arbitration or mediation. My emails span from August 12,2023 to most recently Sept 11th,2023. The last communication was the phone call on August 30th,2023. Now I have left a positive review because I think the product is excellent and the total amount paid did include 4 pairs of shoes socks, etc. My problem is I was lied to which resulted in my spending about $ ******* more then I had to. And there are absolutely no policies on the receipt or their web site.

    ************************ made a purchase from Good Feet with her mother on July 17th. Posted a Positive Review about the service and products purchased however shortly after that, she requested to return several of the supports due to comments made on social media of customers purchasing individual supports. ************************ was explained that Good Feet arch supports are sold as a System however she continued to press to return several of them for a refund. ************************ continued to press for a refund on specific supports, which was approved allowing her to return the supports to an area store other than the store she made her purchase from. ************************ was issued a refund on products she was requesting to return on Sept 26th. Therefore, this complaint is now closed. 

    Thank you.

    I went to the Good Feet Store 5/8/23 after hearing numerous ads proclaiming the benefits of their insoles. I had been struggling with sciatica for a few months and was hoping for the helpful benefits they proclaimed. The sales pitch was very good and now after reading other complaints I am seeing many people hear the same. The insoles are NOT specific to individuals and NO WAY are they worth $1649 which was the least expensive package I needed.I am embarrassed to admit was suckered into this deal with no way of returning something that did nothing to improve my pain or put that pep in my step, although I did use the inserts as directed increasing in increments. Follow up from ****** the associate, was one message left inquiring of the proposed benefits. I returned the call a number of times. All in all the product is NOT worth what is charged and I feel like they take the money and disappear. This is NOT a good business protocol and I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone! I cringe when I see their commercials. The good feet store could be profitable and successful they followed reasonable sales and put the customers satisfaction first. Instead they take advantage of customers. The money I wasted could have paid for legitimate care! *** disappointed!

    I bought the entire package.4 sets of arch supports. 2 pair of ****** tennis shoes. Plantars fasciitis socks and foam insoles. My feet do feel better all day. My complaints are about the noise both pair of my shoes make with the arch supports inside. It started about 3 weeks after my purchase. The noise is embarrassing. The store does not have a solution for me. They need to honor the agreement and give me new supports since mine are already worn out. The product should last longer. I am on my feet all day and had confidence this was working well.

    I entered The Good Feet Store in Lexington with the hopes that they would be able to help me with my feet. The commercials they have indicated that they could help. I was assured by the sales person that they would be able to help me with my issues. Throughout the 'fitting' I was told that the insoles could help take care of my feet. I informed the sales person that I had fallen arches and plantar fasciitis, along with arthritis in my knees. I was reassured this would help with all that. I was also told by the sales person, after the sale, that they would call me to see how things were going. They never called. Well, after a few days of using the insoles as instructed, all of my issues did not improve. They became worse! My feet started to hurt horribly and my knees were so painful I had to start using a cane to keep my balance and ease up on some of the pain. The pain escalated to my back and I started to see a chiropractor to alleviate some of the pain. I took out the receipt to look at their return policy and it says no refunds!!! What? How do you stand behind a product when you won't even give someone their money back if it does not work for them? I threw the product in the closet. This is not good business. The items purchased were not custom made nor were they custom ordered. They came out from the backroom.At no time was I ever made aware of the fact that the purchase I was about to make was NOT REFUNDABLE! This is unacceptable! If I would have been told ahead of time that the product I was buying could not have been returned, I would have never made the purchase!There is a bag of useless plastic sitting in my closet that I paid $1400 for that I cannot use.I was given a sales pitch to make a sale for something that was never going to work for me. I was misled and deceived and am seeking a full refund with the help of the BBB. This is not at all tolerable. I was taken advantage of and sold a product that was never going to work for me.

    I went to the good feet store to see if arch supports would help with my back and leg pain. The employee named ***** helped me that day. Right away he took imprints of my foot. Then asked what size shoe I wear. I told him a 10 wide. He went in back and got these shoes that looked really wide. I know why now because they were made special for the store to sell these over priced arch supports. He then said with shoes you just take out this bottom part of the insole and put this piece in then under it goes the arch supports. Well I never was able to fit into a new shoe without any struggle, but my foot went right in. I found later it had to be the special made shoe, it was so so wide.my foot went right in. And I walked fine. After fitting all three arch supports into that special shoe and walking with them I said the only one that I feel a difference is the first one the other two did nothing. I then asked how much money are these. Well then ****** said they are cheaper if you buy all and with the shoes. I said how much is just the first arch support. He the said that is was $450. I said I can and will not do all of them. Then he said I could apply for a loan with ***** Fargo, and pay only maybe $50 a month. At no point did he say this was not returnable. We I applied and go approved for this loan. I thought it was $450 and tax. I did not know until I go home that is was $538.85. And no return. ***** had me hurry and sign the slip and said no returns. It does not say any wear on their website that their are no returns. He said it is a health issue? How you wear socks plus the arch support is plastic. I call the new office for the good feet store and they said each store is different. I told them that there is no where that it states no returns. I would have never wanted to try them otherwise. Plus when I got home I ordered the same shoe that the good feet had me try on. When I got the shoes my foot did not even fit the store so I know these store had these shoes specially mad3 so they fit everyone. That is how they trick customers. Non of my shoe fit the arch supports. And they will not take them back. I am not wearing them they are in the box, and I can not use them. I just want to return them with a refund. Thank you

    Went to The Good Feet store around 3/25/2023 and purchased some foot insoles for $1700 after I was told that they work very well. After trying them they hurt my foot/knee so bad I can hardly walk when I wake up. Went to the doctor and they ran tests on me and said I had no medical conditions that would cause the pain. I asked The Good Feet store to give me a refund and they will not. I have to get massages and my doctor is putting me in massage therapy to try to get rid of the pain I did not have until I used the sole inserts.
