Are you experiencing foot pain?   The human foot has the potential to take us from infancy to the end of our lives without any accompanying foot problems.  But to do so, the foot must exist in a totally free, unrestricted environment. Our natural state is to walk barefoot on open, undulating terrain where space around the foot is infinite and 95% of all foot problems originate as a direct result of the use of improper footwear which damages the foot both short and long term, thereby making it dysfunctional.  Of course, extremes of temperature and the hard, flat surfaces of the modern world beg the need for foot covering and protection.  But to be healthy, the foot must be allowed to perform its natural work in a shoe as if it were barefoot.

Foot health is well within the grasp of all of us to understand and fully integrate into our lives. The definition of foot health is a simple one.  Foot health is the ability of your feet to perform the natural, human activity of walking, day after day, year after year without any pain or problems at all, that is, asymptomatic.  To accomplish this in a paved world, the shoe must be as neutral of an environment as possible to allow the foot to work in its most natural, barefoot state.  The shoe must “float” on the foot.

It is unacceptable that Americans find themselves without a real vision and understanding of the needs and potential of the human foot.  It is certainly unacceptable to have painful, dysfunctional feet.  We invite you to visit our facility to begin the process of real foot health and pain free feet. 

Goodhart’s Euro-Pedorthics is the essential link in the recovery of the foot and the treatment/management of foot disorders.  Through research, our 105-year facility has discovered the key to foot health and has unlocked the door for America.  We have a 100% success rate in the resolution of plantar fasciitis, for example, a success rate that is unheard of in any health care facility in this country.   In the Greater Kansas City Area, we work closely with many wonderful physicians who refer their “problem feet” to us and allow us to help their patients back to the world of walking.  They call me the Shoe-ru.
