  On March 13, 2024, I walked into The Good Feet store in ***************, ** hopeful for help with knee pain. ***** was my salesman, He brought me inserts. Encouraged me that the discomfort of them gets better and that they offer a lifetime refitting service. I was sitting at the front of the store and near the end of the fitting, ***** provided me with pricing and the application for financing. The finance paperwork was labeled with "***'s DIscount Furniture" on the top, which was a bit odd to me, but I didn't ask. When I asked ***** about the return policy, he kept saying "we won't let you get that far. We will offer insert adjustments until it works for you." And when AGAIN I asked about the return policy, he responded with a similar version of the above statement. After the financing was filled out, ***** brought my inserts to the store desk and in ending the transaction, quickly highlighted the statement on the bottom of the receipt that "all sales are final." This information was not provided to me until after the purchase was complete. The store does, in fact, have signage around the cashiers desk about the sales being final, but this signage is not readily visible to customers while trying on the inserts nor when filling out the financing paperwork. Also, when directly asked, the information wasn't readily given. I feel like I was taken advantage of. As a young, single woman walking into a store alone, I feel like I was recognized as easily manipulated and an easy sell. I feel like the sales tactics are vague and predatory. And I felt like I was misled into making a financed purchase of $2328.11. I have worn the inserts since March with only worsening pain. When I called the store to ask about their store-credit return policy, I was told that I could not simply return the inserts and use the store credit for other products that the store offers. I simply want out of this financial commitment that was made under misleading circumstances.

  Background: Arrived 4:25pm on Wed, 4/24, with appt (told 45 minutes), expecting to spend ~$250 total on shoes with some gel arch inserts. Have a 5k on Saturday, and I've had slight foot pain occasionally when standing for long durations, and some light upper back pain, being recently treated by a chiropractor + massage.At the time: I was told that these inserts were a special patented product, with a "world renowned podiatrist" behind it, with results that I couldn't see anywhere else, that would change my life and protect me from all the foot, leg, hip, and back troubles, and that I was making a necessary investment in my future health.I have never felt so convinced that I was speaking to a qualified expert, then later see "[our] employees do not diagnose, prescribe, or treat medical conditions."I have never felt so certain that I was receiving the gold standard in medical products, then later see "[our] products are not intended as medical devices".After 70 minutes and a barrage of information and test walks, my brain was fried. I remember reading, and re-reading, and re-reading the price sheet trying to figure out what I actually needed. I left with Order No QS151903, the Total Wellness bundle and accessories, for $3,264 at 5:45, ******* to get to my next appt. By 8pm I'd realized all the sales techniques that I'd once learned had been used on me. By midnight I'd read up on the company, the product, and the results most people actually saw, and was certain I'd been had. Attempted Resolution: The next day, at 11:25am, I returned with all items exactly as they'd been when I swiped my card. I left all items at the store with the Store Manager, who informed me that as a "medical wearable product" they *couldn't* do refunds. No. No. You have me do test walks with these shoes and these inserts, indoor/outdoor, but I walk out the front door after a killer sales pitch and they're unsafe for any human being to ever use again, and you won't refund me? No. No.

  I came in earlier today for the refund, and I'm already seeing it starting to process in my credit card. I believe I may be good.

  Date of Transaction: 04/06/24 The Scam outfit sold me inserts for my feet due to Plantar Fasciitis, which will never help my situation. Went to see a podiatrist who explained that the 4 different inserts from this organization will only hurt my situation more. I understand that I did sign the paperwork saying it was a non refundable purchase. I am looking for some monetary refund if not the whole amount. I feel like I have been scammed. The salesman ********************* keeps insisting that different inserts can be substituted, even though I explained that they also will not help my situation. Any Help with this situation would be appreciated. ***********************

  On 4-9-24 I went to the Good Feet Store in ***********, MO for relief of plantar fasciitis pain. The salesman suggested a customized package and produced a laminated sheet that showed the price. It was $2382 and this was the first point I was shown or could find pricing for their products. I felt the salesman pressured me to go ahead with the purchase and that it would relieve my pain. I wore the inserts as instructed for three days but after the third day I could not walk without extreme pain. The inserts that were provided and customized to my needs caused pain to the point I was in worse pain than before I came to this company. I decided to try and return the product and gain my investment back. First I contacted the corporate office and was informed they were unable to help in any way but was advised to return to the store and they could potentially help me. When I returned to the store and explained I was told all sales were final but they would do adjustments. The store informed me that their policy is all sales were final and this was listed on their sales order that I signed prior to completing my sale. When I made my purchase I was not informed of this policy and I did not sign any documents agreeing to this. When I reviewed the documents provided to me by the store I confirmed that the Sales Order does not have my signature and I don't recall being informed of this policy. At this stage I feel that I was taken advantage of. I was pressured me to move forward with the sale and added add-ons that I have not gained benefit from. I have experienced more pain from their product which has defeated the purpose of going to them. Once I had agreed to the purchase I felt rushed through the process and wasn't aware of all their policies and didn't sign all the documents before they charged me. I would like to return their product which is not helping me and get a return of my investment.

  When I went in to the store, I was having knee pain and my arches had dropped. The salesman right away says I need to have these $29 arch H32**36**36313533**34H, he brought socks in to while we were talking about my problems. He didn&#**;t say anything about the price. I called and told him that these socks don&#**;t work because they are taking up too much room in my shoes. He didn&#**;t say it would be a hard credit check. I called him after the 2nd time that I need to go somewhere else, I need a refund. The salesman said it is not something I take back, we can just readjust them. It hadn&#**;t even been 30 days yet. I told him readjusting is not working. I told him I need a refund. He went to the back and said I was approved and I said for what, he said for the arch H32**36**36313533**34H, insoles, etc. It is not what they promised for $2300.00. I called the company and they said this is a credit card account. The salesman didn&#**;t tell me any of this. I would like a refund of my money.

  I would like to revise how my complaint against The Good Feet Store is worded.

  I went in to the Good Feet Store explaining that I was experiencing knee pain and that the arches in my feet had fallen. He went to the back of the store, brought out a set of 4 different arch supports, made of very hard plastic, along with a schedule of how to wear them. He put one of the arch supports in my shoes and the other ones in a bag. He told me that the arch supports will realign & correct my body, which would help alleviate the pain that I was having. He put some very expensive socks in the bag. He said that I the socks would also be beneficial. He had me to fill out a paper, with my personal information on it, went to the back of the store. He told me that I was approved, when he came back out. I asked him "approved for what?" He said for everything that he sold me. He never told me what the cost was going to be, he just put the paperwork in the bag. I told him before he went to the back, that did not want a hard credit check ran, because I was going to be applying for a loan to purchase a new home very soon, because it will lower my credit score. His answer, with a smirk on his face was "well, you were approved with no problem", totally disregarding my concern over the fact that I asked him not to run a hard check on my credit, but he did it anyway, which I was very upset about. Since it was too late to undo the damage that he did to my credit score, I was just hoping that the called him a couple of days later to tell him that I have not been able to wear the arch supports because they were too uncomfortable & that the socks were so tight, they cut of the circulation in my toes & made my toes numb. I told him that I  don't think that the arch supports or the socks were going to work for me. He said that I should give it more time & that I should come in & he will adjust the arch supports and he gave me different socks, in place of the thickest ones. The arch supports were hurting my feet really bad, in a different spot this time. I called him again and told him, & he told me to come back to the store and he will adjust them a second time. The arch supports were still too uncomfortable to keep in my shoes and so were the socks & besides that I had received a bill stating that I owe $2,382.19, so I called him and I told him that I wanted a refund, because what he sold me is not working for me, especially not for such a large amount of money. He said that he wouldn't give me a refund. He said that I could come in and he would adjust the arch supports again. I felt so deceived by that salesman. 

  I contacted the company that sent me the bill & I found out that the account that ********************** got me involved with, was a credit card account, that I had no knowledge of, because the salesman did not explain that to me, either. I filed a dispute with the credit card/billing (bank) company. 

  I received an updated credit report & I became even more upset when I found out my credit score has dropped 27 points, because of that the hard check that The Good Feet Store ran on me, against my wishes.

  I can't believe what a mistake I made, when I entered The Good Feet Store on February 29th, 2024, because I was experiencing pain in my right knee. I have these arch supports & socks, that caused me more pain, than I was already having, sitting here in the bag, because they are too uncomfortable for me to ever be able to use them, (let alone) the damage that was done to my credit score. 

  I just want to return everything that The Good Feet Store sold me & get my money back.

  I purchased the insoles to help with the Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot.I was told these insoles would solve my problem with my pain in my foot.When my significant other asked what kind of guarantee we were told that 100% of people found relief of their pain. I sounded skeptical of the cost of the system but was reiterated that 100% of people found relief and solved their issues if you follow the proper procedure.After that I was still nervous because of the cost but felt that if it worked it would be well worth the money.Well I followed the instructions very carefully and had a lot more pain and after 2 weeks came back to complain, at that time I was given a new insole and told that it should help solve my problems.I tried that for a week and continued to have more pain than before I started this regiment so I went to the other branch close to my home.There I spoke with the staff there and he rescanned my feet and asked me to go over how I was using the insoles to verify I was doing as I was supposed to and after I went over this he said I was doing everything correct.He then continued to say that I should only use the first set of insoles for a short time as I had been of 45 minutes with 25 of those minutes sitting in the car going to work and that they should not be worn longer than needed and to remove them before they become to uncomfortable. He then gave me another insole that I believe he said was about 1mm different in length and had me walk around the store and it did seem better at the time, but when I started using these the next day and at work the next couple of days the pain just became too unbearable and I had to stop and removed the insoles because the insoles I purchased from the store not only made my right foot hurt more than before they made my left foot hurt badly and that foot did not have issues before.. i now have pain on both feet since i started using these insoles.

  how many times will i try the inserts? They made my feet hurt, i am so afraid it will be irreversible.
  I would like to return the insoles and get a refund. I was promised that a hundred percent of people who actually wear them are satisfied and happy. I was in pain wearing them not only my right foot but also my left foot.
