Nikki was amazing to deal with. The consultation for new orthotics was an hour and she is very thorough finding out exactly what my needs were. I've had the new orthotics for about 2 weeks now and am finding them more and more comfortable each day. I have recommended my wife to give her a call and would highly recommend anybody else to do the same.

Walking on Sunshine... Nikki is very pleasant and knowledgeable about feet and foot pain and discomforts,I have tried the rest now will stick with the best I have been wearing orthotics for the last 20 years and my experience with her was my very best,I received my orthotics placed them in my sneakers transfer them to my work boots on work days as I work in a construction environment and spend many hours on my feet on concrete floors and standing on ladders for extended periods of time I have had zero issues and best of all no need for a return visit to have them altered as I have had to do with
