It's a pain scale from 1 to 10!

We are trying to do our best to meet the needs of all of our customers.  Some people that come into the store have minimal pain, maybe in their heel, and some people have severe pain in various parts of their bodies.  We are on a quest to find the right solutions for everyone.

OeTZI3300 Suede
Take for instance a person who has minor plantar fasciitis with minimal pain in their heel.  The OeTZI3300 has great arch support and a gel pad in the heel.  Or maybe just a Lynco orthotic with a cupped heel pad and great support will meet their needs.  An Aetrex shoe, which is double depth to provide room for your orthotic and accommodates hammertoes well, is also a great choice in this arena.  Or an Arcopedico to ease the pressure on the bunion works well for many people.

Somnio Runaissance
Someone who has pain in the ball of the foot will do well with a pair of Somnio's and a Cluffy Wedge since we can adjust the amount of cushioning in the shoe.  We can also adjust the arch support and resolve pronation issues with the Somnio with the different various wedges and insoles that they provide.  These shoes are great for runners or people that are on their feet all day.

Z-CoiL Bella
Customers with more severe pain are best suited with Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear or Tenevis to really reduce the impact on their whole skeletal system.  Both are rocker shoes that ease the impact on either the heel or the ball of the foot.  Of course, these shoes also work well on any level in the pain scale.

Tenevis La Jolla
We try to meet your needs, whether it is a one or a ten!  And we are always on a quest to find more solutions for your issues...  whether it be pain related or just dog-tired after a hard day at work!  So, give is a try and see what we can do for you. 

It is all about "customized comfort and freedom from pain"!

The OeTZI3300 has arrived!

The OeTZI3300 is a very unique shoe made with oiled suedes or canvas with a breathable yet stretch sock liner and a cork footbed designed for comfor that gradually molds to the individual footscape. They also contain a gel insert in the heel for impact reduction with every step. The antimicrobial cork foootbed combined with the soft sued or canvas upper provides an unparalleled walking experience!
OeTZI3300 takes you on a journey back in time to a prehistoric man called "Oetzi" who has been carbon dated to 3300 B.C. His mummified body, unveiled from his frozen state by global warming was wearing nothing more than the basic essentials he needed for survival - gear for protection and warmth, as well as a unique pair of shoes.


Inspired by the simple yet functional design of Oetzi's shoes, OeTZI3300 needed to be environmentally responsible and promote the art of well being. They are remastering the essentials from the past in a fresh and relevant way. They use no glues in their shoes and are also a part of a project that is working to provide financial assistance to the Arthritis foundation, since Oetzi's body showed signs of arthritis.


We are currently carrying the classic suede and the black/white canvas styles. A truly remarkable shoe at a great price, I am sure you will love how they feel on your feet!
