Consumer Alert: Retail vs. Direct-to-Lab
Before You Overpay $1,200 at The Good Feet Store...
The Good Feet Store sells mass-produced, pre-fabricated plastic inserts, whereas a true medical orthotic is CNC-milled from a physical impression of your foot.
"As a Chief Medical Officer, I see patients every day with $1,200 in credit card debt for retail arch supports that weren't even custom molded to their feet."
Dr. William Naughton, DPM
Board Certified Podiatric Surgeon
View Medical Credentials- Good Feet: It's Not Custom. The Good Feet Store sells pre-fabricated plastic matched to shoe size, not a medical molding of your foot.

"Retail stores often use high-pressure tactics to sell you a 'System' of 3 supports. In clinical podiatry, we rarely prescribe three different devices for one patient. One correct custom device is what you need."
Mass Production vs. Custom Medical Grade
Why do they cost $1,200? You are paying for the store rent and sales commissions. Not the product.
Pre-Fabricated Plastic
Injection molded plastic produced in bulk. The salesperson simply matches your foot size to a pre-made shell from a drawer.
Inside our USA Lab: We don't pull from a shelf. Every pair is 100% custom built based on your foot.
Custom Laser Milling
We scan your impression kit and CNC mill your orthotics from medical-grade polypropylene to your exact arch contours.

Patients Who Made The Switch
See the difference between high-pressure retail and direct-to-consumer medical quality.
"High pressure, no refunds"
"Trapped into a $1,200 system."
"I walked in expecting to spend $100 and was heavily pressured into a $1,200 'system' of hard plastic inserts. When my feet hurt worse after two weeks, they told me all sales were final and I could only get store credit. Absolutely trapped."
"Actual custom orthotics"
"Real clinical relief for 80% less."
"I almost bought from a retail arch support store but got sticker shock. Bilt Labs sent me an impression kit, actually molded my exact foot, and delivered a superior, medical-grade product for a fraction of the price. The 180-day guarantee made it a no-brainer."
