Have you ever thought about getting orthotics?
Let us back up – have you ever experienced foot pain? Maybe an aching back? Shin splints? Runner's knee? Plantar fasciitis?
If you answered yes, then maybe it’s time to start thinking about orthotics.
Headquartered in Surrey, BC, is Canada’s largest full-service footwear and orthotics provider. Essentially insoles that are custom designed to your exact foot shape, orthotics can correct a wide variety of biomechanical foot issues, alleviating pain, discomfort, and sometimes life-changing issues for people of all ages and lifestyles.
Typically orthotics require you to visit a specialist, have your feet measured, and return multiple times in order to perfect your custom fit, but now, custom orthotics are easier to get than ever. In fact, you can get measured and outfitted for fully custom orthotics without ever having to leave your home.​
​Kintec Footwear & Orthotics offers Canada's first-ever fully remote custom insole service by accredited foot care professionals. The virtual clinic is powered by Kintec’s ability to capture true 3D foot impressions from an iPhone (10 or newer), using your phone's FaceID technology.
This tech is great for people who already have a pair of orthotics and are looking for a follow-up assessment if their pair is showing signs of age, but this is about so much more than convenience; Kintec's mission is to keep customers active on their feet for life. With their new virtual assessment program, Kinetic can serve customers literally anywhere, including remote communities, or those who do not have time or resources to drive to a clinic. This includes people who need to be measured for their very first pair.
The tech doesn’t stop there. Since 1991 Kintec has leveraged its deep expertise in orthotics with one of the country’s largest specialty footwear inventories. In addition to their remote custom insole service, you can also visit Kinetic to find the exact footwear (and fit) that’s right for you. Using touchless 3D FitScan™ Technology Kinetic can capture thousands of data points unique to your feet. Using their artificial intelligence system, it matches individuals’ footwear preferences from a worldwide database with your specific foot shape.​
​Kinetic fitting experts will use this data and take the time to understand who you are, what you do, and how your feet are affecting the rest of your body. They’ll use gait analysis to examine how your body is moving and how you can get the most out of your footwear. Regularly utilized by performance athletes, both orthotics and fitting appointments can alleviate pain for all people, whether you work at a desk or spend your days on your feet.
Don’t live another day in pain. You can now without even having to put your shoes on to leave the house!
