As a competitive athlete and sports medicine specialist, I knew how important getting the right shoe was, but it wasn't until I attended a FitSystem® workshop, that I learned how important the fitting of that right shoe is. Phil's workshops have taught me valuable techniques that I use in my clinics. His workshops are a must for shoe and boot fitters, but will also benefit medical professionals who work with active patients.
After Phil provided me with a custom fit using sock technology, lacing techniques and a few other fitting tricks, my feet and shoes functioned as one unit. This was not only a very comfortable fit, it also lessened the degree of injuries that I had experienced due to poor fit, especially blisters.
I support Phil's workshops in the hope that many more people will achieve the benefits of custom fit footwear.
Thank you, Phil!
