The Healing Sole is helping runners get serious about recovery! Marathoner and blogger, Wendy Rivard, recently tried out our flip-flop and loved The Healing Sole so much that she shared her experience with her readers on the Taking the Long Road Home Blog. Wendy has suffered from plantar fasciitis for years now. Many of the treatments she’s tried failed to produce real results. We stepped in to offer her a taste of real relief!

My nemesis is PLANTAR FASCIITIS. 

Wendy has been a runner for most of her adult life. Over the years, plantar fasciitis has made it tough for her to keep the pace.

"I’ve had PF on and off for years. Is it because I’m a heel striker? Most likely. I’m can't do much about how I land, but with my CrossFit Coach, we've worked on a lot of posterior chain activities to help prevent me from coming down so hard on my heels. Similarly, my sports medicine physician has put me in soft orthotics, which support my arches but do not decrease the impact as I land on the ground. I’ve also had success with making wise shoe choices both on and off the road. (No more kitten heels for me–not that I ever was a high heels kind of gal anyway!)

Recently, I was sent a pair of The Healing Sole Plantar Fasciitis Flip Flops to try and review. These flip flops were designed by an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in foot and ankle surgery. She found that after 4-6 weeks of use, 80% of patients reported improvement in pain and function, while 94% said they would recommend the flip flops to a friend.

Since receiving the flip flops a few weeks ago, I’ve been wearing them non-stop. At first glance, the flip flops look like another pair of black flip flops that I own and love, so as I slipped into The Healing Soles I immediately noticed the arch support.

The soft soles cradle the bottoms of my feet but the arch support makes my feet feel secure. It took a little getting used to the rocker bottom soles, but the flip flops were designed that way in order to take the tension off your arches as you walk. There is also some interior support that you can’t see, to help keep your heel in alignment and offload the ball of the foot. I will say, that these are the most comfortable flip-flops I have ever worn and after a long run, I look forward to slipping them on to help my feet recover.  

The Healing Sole also has a raised toe lift under the big toe that has taken some time getting used to. My feet and toes are pretty well aligned, but that toe wedge sometimes rubs up against my 2nd toe. It doesn’t hurt, it’s just something I’m not used to. Since I have arthritis in both my big toe joints, the wedge makes my big toes feel like they are resting on a pillow. If you are a chronic PF sufferer like I am, these flip flops would be a great tool to add to your PF war chest.

A clinical trial conducted by The Healing Sole showed that 80% of participants experienced less pain and improved function after just a month of wearing The Healing Sole. No surgery, no injections, and no physical therapy required - just safe, simple treatment and healing.

WHY SHOULD THE HEALING SOLE BE YOUR FIRST OPTION?

When it comes to relieving your foot pain or improving foot recovery, the list of treatment options and solutions can be overwhelming. Surgery, injections, physical therapy – the list goes on. These methods of relief can cost you time and money without the guarantee of finding relief from chronic foot pain and workout recovery. This is where The Healing Sole comes in!

The Healing Sole was developed by Dr. Meredith Warner, an orthopedic surgeon dedicated to relieving chronic foot pain and helping people get back on their feet. She engineered The Healing Sole with affordable, holistic healing in mind to help you find relief to fit into your lifestyle without the need for surgery or expensive medical treatment. Make The Healing Sole your first choice for comfort that lasts!

Hi, I'm Dr. Meredith Warner, an Air Force Veteran and practicing Orthopedic Surgeon in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana. A few years ago, I invented The Healing Sole after treating many people for plantar fasciitis pain. We launched a clinical trial to prove the patented product would work and be safe for those suffering from foot pain. We had amazing results – 8 out of 10 patients reported improvement in pain and/or function after just 30 days of wear.

The road to foot pain relief is not easy, but it is possible. For some, this process can take months. I invented The Healing Sole so people could harness the body's natural healing power and have an option for everyday relief. We know where the pain originates from and therefore strategically designed The Healing Sole to help reduce tension in your joints and muscles to relieve stress and pain from your problem areas.

Let The Healing Sole become a non-invasive part of your life so that you can get back to experiencing your life. Return to routine tasks that were once too painful to do. Return to getting out of bed without fearing your first step of the morning. But most importantly, return to living your life and enjoying time with your family and friends.

My hope is that you are able to live your life the way you want…we want you to live with SOLE.
