Just went to GoodArch this afternoon and their package was RM3,996 for shoe+insole, comes with 10 years warranty to replace the insole if anything happens. Was very tempted to buy and sign up on the spot but luckily my friend who was with me was more level-headed and decided to walk off so we can think more about it before spending that much money. Good thing I stumbled across this thread where I found out it's a MLM structure and their so-called custom made is not really custom (but how did you guys find out ah?).

I went to Subang Parade and checked out Foot Nurse (previously Foot Solution), their custom insole is much cheaper than others that I have seen that try to sell you a package. If I'm not mistaken, their custom insole is under RM1k. Talked to the staff, they showed me the process, using those sensor machines where some pressure poles come out below your feet to capture the shape. Apparently their price is cheaper because they fabricate the insoles locally, but they do seem to know what they are talking about. Maybe can check them out.Now looking into just getting a generic insole at Aetrax or Dr Kong. Does anyone have any experience with these companies/brand names? Appreciate any feedback/sharing |

But but.. if it is nearly RM1k for those custom insoles, it's more worth it to get 10 years package at ~Rm4k. Anything happens in those 10 years, in case it breaks or anything can still go back for free replacement. Cost/year much lower for GoodArch then. |

These things typically last 10 years or more. Once you are an adult, your foot doesn't really change much anymore (growing children are a different story). From my chat with the owner, he does offer free adjustments or replacements if customer comes back with any issue. Either way, I don't think it is fair to calculate that you need to change every year or so, unless the product is really so inferior in which case you won't want to use them long term anyway. This is just a solution for people who want to try custom insoles with a smaller upfront cost, as I heard the effect varies and it doesn't help everyone. |

Like I mentioned a few post back, I went to Subang Parade and found Foot Nurse (Previously Foot Solution). Ahah I feel like I should get commission from them for advertising, but when I was looking around for insole for my mom, they looked like the cheapest legitimate option. Most of the other places I went to like Sunfeet etc tried to sell me package. To me is a bit expensive to try, but it's take it or leave it. At least Foot Nurse explained to me properly and allow me to just buy insole.Anyway do anyone could give some suggest for Dr.Kong and SunFeet (PJ) Dr.Kong customize insole is around 1.6k if not mistaked since i go like 3 month ago Just visit SunFeet today is around 2.6k for 1shoe 1insole and 4 year warranty .

This is a huge thread, and I'm amazed by all the experiences from the people here. It's surprising to see some of the prices for foot orthotics here. I'm not trying to sell any product, but if any of you guys have not had any success so far and is still looking for a solution, feel free to pm me and I will help in any way I can. A little about myself, I'm an orthotist and certified prosthetist who graduated from the US with a Masters in Orthotics and Prosthetics. farisq liked this post

My 3 yo daughter is walking with legs moving inward. Was looking for a solution and engaged a consultant I found in FB ads. She's selling insole package RM 19XX with 3 years of services or RM2XXX with 10 years of services, it comes with a pair of custom made insoles and replaceable with the years of services mentioned above. I stumbled into this old thread while doing research on this.
Previously, I was expecting a proper diagnosis on her legs and other related areas before a plan is made to remediate her condition. But what I got from Google searches were mostly "insole" on flat feet. I also checked with a friend doing pharmaceutical sales, he proposed me to check with peads ortho dr. How much to estimate if I go to this route instead the insole? Or is there anything I should have checked with first? |
