PODIATRIST DESIGNED, CONSUMER APPROVED

Back in 1991, Dr. Les Appel, the founder of PowerStep as well as a podiatrist and avid runner, recognized the need for ready-to-wear orthotic insoles that would be both affordable and easily attainable for people struggling with common foot pain. He began to see a similar pattern in the share of the custom-made orthotics that he prescribed to patients. Dr. Appel combined this knowledge of foot anatomy, along with his passion for running, to create the first PowerStep insoles.

Nearly 30 years later, we continue to develop the PowerStep orthotic insole line along with compression socks, bracing options, and other foot care accessories with the goal of helping people prevent pain from common foot conditions and lead active, healthy lives.

WHY POWERSTEP

The defining feature of any PowerStep orthotic is the unique arch shape. Offering reliable support paired with superior comfort, the PowerStep arch was designed by a podiatrist to create an affordable solution for people suffering from plantar fasciitis, overpronation, and other painful foot conditions.

Our insoles combine stabilizing arch and heel support, along with cushioning, in a clinically effective design that actually decreases your foot pain and improves foot function.

Many people feel relief from their foot pain within 4 weeks of using PowerStep insoles and continue to experience the same improvement as they would from wearing a more expensive custom-made orthotic
