I just received these on Friday and they're actually way better than my custom orthotics. I'll likely be ordering another pair for convenience. Thank you!
I was not paid or even asked to do this. Bottom line — these are the most effective inserts or anything I've ever tried for PF. I've felt like 1% of the pain and stiffness since wearing these. I wish I'd discovered these years ago.
I tried everything. Nothing worked. I was thinking about surgery. Long story short — the sole I ordered worked like magic. Two months into it, the pain is gone and the area on my heel is soft again. It feels like a miracle.
Waking up every morning for the last 4–5 days I haven't been hurting. I've been hurting like this for about a year and the doctor said it usually lasts 6 months. Tell Drew he's part of my recovery.
I got them today and immediately went for a run. I haven't not had that pain after a run for a very long time. That made a believer out of me — I immediately ordered a second set. These work way, way better than anything else I've tried.
I suffer way less from plantar fasciitis and they've helped with lower back pain since they aid in standing correctly. They hold up better than other inserts, the cost is better, and they actually work.
Great for deadlifts — dropping back and setting up is much easier. On squats the heel cup helps keep you in position.
Alpha has helped me recover from PF and start building up my miles. I don't run without them.
They really work. I was dealing with issues from my feet that were leading to back issues and these really made a difference. Other than wanting more product — I find the Alpha to be game changing.
Been using them for a week and there is a marked difference. Don't feel the pain in my heel anymore when I walk — feel a lot more stable.
I fractured my heel and it's been hell ever since. I wear it every day — works great for running too. So I am super glad your product is helping.
They seem to have a unique design that all the other standard inserts don't have. This is the first time I've ever even heard of 3 arches.

5/22/20 · Twitter for iPhoneI had a case of plantar fasciitis and got some inserts from @apexgearco. I have been able to walk pain free since then. If you have that issue I would recommend trying them.

Your First Week
Breaking In.
The Right Way.
Start Slow
Place FCSS™ Pro on top of your shoe's factory insole. Wear for 2–3 hours the first day. Your feet are adjusting to proper alignment — that's the point.
Build Up
Increase wear time each day. Some initial firmness is normal — it means the triple arch support is doing its job. Do not use with other orthotics or insoles.
Full Time
Most customers wear FCSS™ Pro all day without thinking about it. If any edge causes rubbing, a small strip of moleskin or 220-grit sandpaper solves it instantly.
30-day returns, no questions asked. If FCSS™ Pro isn't right for you within 30 days, returns are hassle-free. If the insole itself ever fails structurally — we replace it free. Forever.
Our Origin Story
Foot Medic began with Navy veteran and Certified Pedorthist Ricky Wyatt, who joined his family’s shop, Wyatt & Dad Shoe Repair, after serving in the military. While helping customers with medical footwear needs, Ricky created our first orthotic insert—Foot Control and Support Systems (FCSS)—and spent years refining it through research and real customer feedback.
Two decades later, Ricky’s son and Marine Nick Wyatt and fellow Army veteran Drew Everett brought the product online, rebranding it as Foot Medic in 2019 to reflect our mission: providing reliable support and relief, just like a medic on the field.
Today, every Foot Medic insert is proudly made in Central Indiana, carrying forward a legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, and proven foot support.
