"I walked into Foot Solutions on Saturday, January 21,2006, tried on a pair of Chung Shi Weather shoes, purchased them while wearing them, and walked out into a new world of a nearly pain-free existence. I haven't had any other shoes on since. I had not slept nor walked without some low-level pain for some years. I have now slept soundly for five nights without waking up from discomfort in my hips, knees or lower back. I have taken rigorous hikes only to feel wonderfully free of pain. And how could this be possible because of these shoes? In going to my physical therapist, he pointed out with some delight that because of the construction, one is forced into alignment with the pelvic region in a somewhat forward position with the rib cage somewhat elevated, something he had been trying to get me to learn to do on my own. The shoes do it for me and certainly help me to be conscious of it. One can rest on the forward part of the shoe feeling comfortable but being aware that the back of the leg is being exercised and stretched. By resting on the backward part of the shoe, the reverse occurs. I don't pretend to understand the physiology. But I do understand the absence of pain, the release of energy and sense of well being. I will very shortly be purchasing another pair of Chung Shi's or MBT's; meantime, I’ll dress for more formal occasions in such a way that I can still wear my Chung Shi's. Comfort for me comes before style or beauty! With gratitude!"

"First off, I am 50 years old and have tried to maintain an active lifestyle all my life. I've always thought that if your feet hurt the rest of you will also hurt. I came into the store in January to talk to Joanne about my dilemma. I told her about my mid-life crisis and that I had been longing to participate in walking/running events in and around the area. She introduced me to the Chung Shi shoe and told of the benefits that it would have. I tried them on and immediately felt the difference. I ended up training for the Heart Mini Marathon in them. I have walked a number of events in them and strongly encourage anyone reading this note that if you don't have these shoes that you purchase them here at this store. These shoes will help to change your life as they have mine. They will make you feel younger and more alive. I am wearing them now as I write this note and they feel great. Thanks to Foot Solutions and thanks to the very informative Joanne."

"I've been a trainer since 1997. There are very few training aids on the market that actually do what they proclaim to do, especially a shoe. Since I have been wearing Chung Shi shoes I have noticed a significant firmness in my buttocks and thighs. Also, an increase in my speed and endurance while running, my legs actually feel invigorated, not heavy and fatigued."

"I wanted to share with you my first few days experiencing the Chung Shi level 2 shoes. INCREDIBLE! They make me feel like my legs and back are getting a work out without me doing anything. I could see an improvement in my posture within hours. The ability to balance myself on the center of the shoe has definitely improved my balance. I put them on when I was working out at the track and it was like a double workout. I hope all your customers will have the opportunity to experience these INCREDIBLE shoes."

"Now that I have been walking in the CHUNG SHI shoes daily for six months, I would like to express the advantages. They not only improve posture, but every step works leg, knee and foot muscles. My running is now faster and injury free!"

"I have a painful metatarsal bone problem. NEVER in all my adult years (I’m 73) have I been without foot pain, nor have I experienced complete comfort. My CHUNG SHI shoes have changed all that – no pain, absolute comfort, and they look great. It's a new life for me!"

"Arthritis had caused me severe pain in both ankles. I still had ankle pain when trying to walk even after my ankles were fused. My doctor told me to come to Foot Solutions for rocker bottom shoes. The staff fit me into CHUNG SHI and I can now walk comfortably with no extra effort!"

"I bought my pair of Chung Shi (brown suede) shoes last August (07). To say that they have been fantastic would be a huge understatement! They have saved me from nearly a year of excrutiating back pain and have also helped promote my general fitness due to me looking forward to going out walking rather than dreading it. I am indeed indebted to the quiet reassurance you offered, they have saved my life and my back and continue to do so. I wear my Chung Shi shoes all the time and only wear other shoes for very short periods, so THANKS for the GREAT shoes and I have promoted them to all my mature-age, (and not so mature-age) students and am also trying to get my 15 yr old son into a pair!

Since breaking my foot at age 17, 43 years ago, I have had chronic foot pain. I began wearing Chung Chi shoes last fall, and am PAIN FREE. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
