      I was in a bad car accident on 12/24/22 that required multiple surgeries on my right leg and ankle. On 6/24/23, I went to The Good Feet to look at inserts for shoes. After browsing through the various options, I found a pair that I liked but was unsure due to my ongoing treatment. I wanted to consult my doctor and wait to purchase the merchandise due to its price and it not being a custom item. The sales people in the store pressured me to make the purchase with the reassurance of bring the item back if it was not what I wanted. I hesitantly opened a care credit account to be able to fund these $1073 insoles and I have not used them once since purchasing. At the time, I was freshly back to work, recovering from intense surgeries, and a full time college student. Multiple times throughout the buying process, I was assured that I could bring the product back after speaking to my surgeon and was not made fully aware of the no refund policy. After speaking with my surgeon on that following Monday, he told me that I should not be using insoles so newly out of surgery and that they would not help my limp. I contacted corporate to try to return the insoles and they told me to contact the store. I contacted the store and they told me to speak to the store manager who would not return my call for days. After exhausting all attempts, I disputed the charge with the care credit card company due to no communication from the store or corporate. Due to the fine print of no refunds, it was found that there were no billing errors. The business played on my emotions to make me feel like I had ************ better and make progress. This business has bad customer service practices and pressures customers to make large purchases with false expectations. I am out $1073 and have shoe inserts that I cannot use.

      The problem is that I had surgery in March 23. I had went to good feet when I was cleared they tested my feet and i brought in soles. I month later my screwed backed out causing pain. i had to stop wearing them its been two months and I havent used these insoles. Because the company is money hungry they sold me a product I wasnt ready for and causing a fail in my surgery. I recently went back there, and ***** said that since I was fresh out of surgery, they shouldnt have fitted me. Currently she was working with me to get me back in the insoles and she has made my visits a lot better but Im still having problems.

      I purchased the Good Feet 3 insert system and one **** of ****** sneakers on 08/25/2023. At the end of the second day of wearing their inserts I had strong lower left back pain and left hip. I tried them for another 36 hours however the pain was getting worse and I had to stop using them. I went to put the regular inserts into my shoes I discovered that the salesperson did not return the inserts that came with the shoes I wore when I vivsted the store nor the original inserts for the ****** sneakers I purchased form them. I then called the store and talked with the salesperson who informed me they would not accept the return of the inserts for refund and would not make me whole of the original inserts he kept. I now have useless inserts and two pairs of useless shoes. The amount of the transaction is $1761.72, Apparently this company does not back it's products.

      Business doesn't display on receipt any return policy. Visited the store 8-6-2023 met with ***** (mgr?) for refund of purchase price for the foot arch supports. Was denied as store policy doesn't allow refunds. I had recently (6-2023) had quadruple by-pass surgery & vain removed from left leg which was used for stints in my heart, Subsequently, the arch support caused due pain when i walked, to my left foot. I want to return the foot arch supports for full refund but was denied. **** suggested I wait. The leg swells do to the main vain being surgically removed as aforementioned. Hence waiting is worthless as swelling is relevant for life. I can return the supports to the store. date of transaction 7-17-2023 @ $499.00 @ transaction# ********** commitment to my being happy customer with NO return policy.my dispute is business lacks return policy printed on receipt. didn't see any posting of return policy at register either. prior to final sale I wasn't informed about No returns either as I would have NOT made purchase. business failed to properly list / display store return policy.

      I bought 2 sets of inserts back in Sept of 2021. Did not use them much as I was working from home. When we were at the ******* Store we made it clear that I have diabetes, fibromyalgia and neuropathy. The sales person stated that they get people like me all the time. We spent almost $900.00 on two sets of inserts. Fast forward to Jan 2022, I had a heart attack, open heart surgery and a stroke. Been working from home for some time. Just now getting back up to par, so I decided to start wearing my inserts again. I had them on for 3 days and I felt this large piece of skin flapping on the side of my foot. It was a huge friction burn from the insert (my podiatrist told me what had happened). I went to the podiatrist the next day. Got started on antibiotics, medication for the wound and a boot. The podiatrist informed me that I should have never got the inserts as they are not made for people that have the ailments that I have. Again, this was communicated to the SALESPERSON multiple times. My wife contacted Good Feet ****, ****, 6.7 and ****. We received a call from ***** who just wants to give us a pair of shoes and asked if we wanted another pair of inserts (lol). NO! As of I've been to the podiatrist 4 times with a cost of $55.00 per visit, and this will probably continue for another 3 months, every other week. At this time I can not drive and have a boot. None of this is being taken into consideration. We spoke to ***** at the Corporate level on Monday 6.2**** who assured us she would get back in touch in 24 hours. Again this did not happen. I am in extreme pain, can not put pressure on my foot and has impeded my life. We wanted to come to some resolution before we go legal. A pair of shoes is not going to work with the damage that these inserts have done. This company has not empathy for what has happened.

      Customer Answer

      I would like the full refund of the two set of inserts, as well as my podiatrist visits and the medication that Ive had to pay for and the times missed from work due to doctor visits  as well as time off due to the extreme pain.  Im an electrical engineer. The podiatrist visit is $55.00 a visit and Ive been 4 times already.  The inserts were almost $900.00.  At this time I can not drive for 4 weeks and have to wear a boot. My wife has tried for over a month to get this resolved.

      Hello, 

      Since creating this complaint I have been admitted into the hospital for this friction would.  I was admitted 7.5.23 and still in the hospital today.  Again would not be in this position if it was not for these inserts.  Whos going to take care of all these medical responsibilities that I have now absorbed?  Had to have surgery and this is a picture of the friction burn as of today, 7.10.23.  This is after surgery.  Surgery was on 7.7.23.  Would like this added to my complaint.

      Following up on the message from the BBB complaint.  I just got out of the hospital of 8 days due to the injury from your product.  Your firm only cares about the inserts being returned.  I am currently on 8 weeks of intravenous antibiotics and 8 weeks of a wound vac on my foot.  Ill need grafting as well.  So you tell me how you would like to resolve this.

      On 12/31/2022 I took my daughter in to The Good Feet Store in **** **. We were helped with getting a fitting for her and I was talking about a migraine. The sales man said these will help and I I don't get relief for 2 weeks it actually became worse. I went back to the store for a refund and they told me that was against company policy because of exchanges. I said I wanted to return them since I am not getting any relief. He asked me to give them another try to see if the fitting was better. I agreed and was told if didn't work we could figure something out. I returned hoping for something in way of return and was told that's is against policy even though the product is giving negative results.I want something done for this terrible experience the store can have the products back since the hurt me more than help me.

      I bought the orthotics on 5/5/23.The employee I was working with failed to mention or answer any question about the price until after everything was in the bag and my card was in the machine.Right before he charged my card he turned the screen to show me the price breakdown, and it was significantly more expensive than I imagined, but I felt extreme pressure to follow through with the purchase.I paid $514 for one pair.I was not happy with the fit and or feeling of the orthotics and I no longer wanted them.Would not issue a refund just 4 days later.Spoke to the manager who only wanted to help me find different orthotics.She said that because the orthotics are 'medical devices', they have to exhaust all options before simply doing a refund.Their resolution was to exchange for different orthotics or to issue store credit.I was issued a store credit which is not helpful and they refused to just refund my purchase.My Transaction ID was: **********.

      I purchased their arch support system earlier this year and have had several problems with the product and no resolution offered by the business. The first set that was provided to me caused me to roll my ankle and were very painful for my feet. When I went back to the business, they offered me a new pair assuring me this would resolve the issues. They even said they would reach back out in a week to make sure everything is working properly. The new pair made no difference. They were so painful I couldn't stand in them and had a podiatrist tell me to stop using them. Not only did Good feet not follow up on their promises (they never reached back out to me again), they have ignored my several attempts at contacting them to reconcile this issue. They say they don't offer refunds, only store credit. I have been trying to arrange store credit for other items from them and they won't even get back to me. These inserts cost north of $1200 so for them to not only cause pain for me, but for the business to not even respond back to me when I've tried to get a resolution is absurd.

      Purchased Good Feet set for arch support. Felt pressured in the sales pitch when I shared that I had one leg shorter than the other but was guaranteed it shouldnt be a problem. Told to see if I could get financing and did not know I was actually applying for a credit card (hard pull on my credit). The charge was $1546.58. Purchased on 3/16/23 which is less than 14 days and I am having real bad pain. My doctor explains having one leg shorter than the other could have some effect on wearing those inserts. ****** the rep was sent a text two days ago and she didnt even respond back when I explained my issue. So I went into the store today 3/16/23. When I was there they said do you have an appointment I said no. Which was odd the last time I came that wasnt an issue. A rep came and heard my story went in the back I believe to talk to a manager. She then comes out and says ****** isnt here so lets schedule you to see her and she can find you something better. I said I need to return because these are not good for me at all do to the shortness of my leg causing low back and tingling leg pain. She said we dont have a return policy. I said this was never shared and its not on the receipts nor posted in the store. Now I have a credit pull and inserts I cant use.

      I am rejecting this response because: there was no resolve.  I am calling them today to seek resolve.  The point of reference for me is (1) no signage that says we do not do returns, (2) the representative did not say - we do not have a return policy and (3) I have medical reason for why I can not wear these inserts.  After sharing with representative that I have one leg 8mm off she confirmed that this would help and it caused more pain.  Chiropractor and Podiatrist has shared reasons why I am having the challenge.  I came to store within 10 days of purchase to return.

      I hope I can update the system once I have a conversation if not I'm sure they will provide feedback and then I can give my update.  Thanks

      I purchased insoles from the good feet store back in October 2022I have been back to the store numerous times to trade out and try different insoles. The only ones I can wear for any period of time are the relaxers. I was signed up for a credit card at the time of sale so that I could make payments on the ****+ insoles system. Seeing as how they do not work I called to request a refund and was told they do not have a refund policy. This is too much money for insoles that don't help my foot pain.
