      The good feet store product caused nerve damage to my feet. Now I have to take off from work for doctor visits and endure more pain than why i first went to the good feet store. I believed in their product from the commercials and bought my husband insoles as well as myself. I spent over $4,000.00 for me and my husband. Either they will refund my money, or i will begin a class action law suit against them. I only wish i had seen all the complaints before we went to the store.

      I purchased shoe insoles from this merchant on 12/10/2022 at the store as i have foot neuropathy and i was in pain. Their TV commercial says "jump higher, run faster, you don't have to think about your feet". I followed their instructions and after 4 weeks my feet were getting worse by the day. I went back to the store 3 times to try and resolve the issue. Each time they took the insoles to the back room and came out saying the adjustment should help and to keep following the instructions. After going back and forth, it was clear to me that i was sold a product that was defective/not as described. Additionally, when i paid, they told me to put my card in and when i did the screen was not back lit. I didn't sign the card reader. Then, they printed an invoice and proceeded to highlight their policy, no refunds. I was not made aware of the policy until after i put the card in. I emailed them on 8/15/2023 asking for a refund to resolve. They never responded.

      I spoke to **** who sold the merchandise to me and we agreed that we would take an in store credit for approximately $1800 and said se could order from ****** shoes or Xelero.

      I went to the store on 10/3 to return the insoles and get credit.I was told I by the manager, ***** to order shoes from their wall at the store. Thats not what we agreed on.

      The manager ***** said that we could not order from the online stores. Their wall of shoes has less than a dozen styles none that I would wear. He said there was no way to order other shoes.

      I said they should honor what **** offered and ***** disagreed.

      I left the store with the insoles. They guarantee that your feet will feel better and instead my feet were significantly worse.

      The shoes were not as described and I am not asking for a return but I would take a credit for the two stores that were told to me.

      I dont know what the next step is.

      I went to the Good Feet store in November 2022. I was convinced the Good Feet orthotics system would permanently fix my foot pain issues. I purchased the system but could not begin using it until December as I was in a boot for said foot issues. Upon, starting the system in December 2022, the orthotics were very uncomfortable. I was assured that it is normal and there is a period of adjustment.By February 2023 I had experienced no relief and sought out another physician consult. I was instructed to stop using the orthotics, work on building up the muscles in my foot, and get a really good shoe. I did this for 3 months (February 2023 - April 2023) and experienced a lot of relief. I went back to the orthotics assuming that they would provide additional support as advertised. In May 2023 I was once again in severe pain. I went back to the practitioner and was also referred to another orthopedic specialist. Both told me that the Good Feet insoles were causing harm to my foot. I again stopped using them.At this point, I would like to return the full system and receive a refund. I should have done more research prior to purchasing the system. In addition, I have had custom orthotics made for a fraction of the price of the good feet system. I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

      On July 15, 2023 I purchased inserts from the Good Feet Store at **************************************************************. I paid a total amount of $490.39 for "custom" inserts. The associate measured my foot, consulted a checklist and produced two pieces of plastic with fabric glued to them. Within two weeks of normal use, they began to delaminate and come apart. The Good Feet Store replaced them at no charge. Using these inserts, my foot problems became worse, so much so I went to a legitimate podiatrist. The doctor informed me the Good Feet inserts had caused serious damage to my feet. Since the Good Feet Store has no return policy, I am inviting them to do the right thing and compromise. I am seeking a refund in the amount of $390 and return of the inserts. This is fair compensation for time spent assisting me and restocking. These are cookie cutter pieces of plastic and in no way worth the price charged. Please refund $390 and I will consider the matter closed.

      On 8-02-2023 I went to The Good Feet Store and got some inserts. They costs me $652.83, which was only for one of three sets Plus another $100 more for a refund/warranty. They claimed that the insert would only hurt for a bit, but even after a few days the pain only increased. I explained the situation a tried returning the product. They refused to provide me the refund I paid for and said they would only adjust the inserts. I am 69 years of age and suffer from multiple aliments that make it hard to see. I trusted this company and I got taken advantage of.

      I visited the Good Feet Store on 8/12/23 and like many other was given a very fast high pressure pitch about needing the 3 sets of insoles and cushioned inserts etc. I am doing a 70 mile walk in 3 weeks and wanted something to help my feet and hips walking that distance. Having followed their protocol for the last 5 days, my hip pain has increased and I have had severe leg cramps and pain in my legs all night. They tell you that all sales are final but for something that is causing pain instead of healing, I believe you should be able to get a refund given the short duration of wearing them Is there any recourse?

      I went to the Good Feet Store and was sold some grossly overpriced inserts . I watch their TV commercials and it makes me sick ! I was mislead into believing that they could really help. I wore there inserts for 3 weeks it was the equivalent of walking with a golf ball in my shoe and caused extreme pain. I wouldn't recommend this business to anyone!!

      July 2, 2023 I was told after a few days I would find relief from what they told me was planters fasciitis. They are not doctors so how can they say what the pain in my foot was. All I told them was that it get so sore that it feels like a broken bone. ***** said that's what planters feels like. Turned out it was a fractured bone in my foot. Doctor informed me no planters fasciitis. I'm extremely disappointed that the good feet store has the audacity to diagnose me as if they were doctors. I believed what they were saying but told them I can't pay **** dollars she gave me an iPad and said to fill it out. Unaware she was applying me for credit. After learning my foot was fractured I called with my disappoint in their sales tactics. She said all sales final.They are misleading and tell you whatever it takes to make a sale
