When you consider that the average person takes between 8,000
to 10,000 steps each day, it’s no wonder that problem feet are a
source of discomfort and pain for a growing number of adults and
children. Many muscular strains, bio-mechanical malfunctions and
bone difficulties can be corrected by the foot comfort specialists at
Foot Foundation. Founder/Certified Orthopedic Footwear
Specialist Ken Brubacher and trainee Angela Brubacher and their
staff can provide common sense solutions to assist in the stability
and correction of many treatable conditions: callouses, bunions,
metatarsalgia (pain or burning sensation in the ball of the foot), pes
planus (flat feet), plantar fasciitis, sports injuries, leg length
discrepancies, or more severe conditions associated with diabetes or
arthritis.
One of the many specialty services at Foot Foundation is the onpremises
manufacturing of custom made orthotics (arch supports)
specific to each individual’s needs.
Foot Foundation is also becoming known for a selection of great
looking shoes that can be worn with orthotics. If you are hard to fit
or need a specialty width, Foot Foundation carries a large selection
of fashionable, functional and comfortable shoes, sandals and boots
by respected brands.
When it comes to something truly specialized, look to their team to
create custom footwear just for you. No two feet are alike, not even
your own. Using the exclusive OTABO system, they can digitally
scan your feet for measurements, which are used to build 3D
models. Using these 3D scans, your shoes are individually crafted
for each foot.

ensure individualized service.

If you have been getting by each winter on all-season tires without
bouncing off of a curb, landing in a ditch or dinged up in a fender
bender, count yourself as lucky. Research has shown that on icy and
snowy surfaces at highway speeds a car with winter tires skidded 15
car lengths, while the car with all season radials slid 19 car lengths
from the point of braking. Cornering and acceleration from a
standing stop are also vastly improved with winter tires.
Today’s winter tires available at OK Tire Store (Elmira), with their
special rubber compounds and unique tread patterns, bring renewed
confidence to drivers and enhance your family’s safety. If you are
trying to save money by driving on all-season tires, just think how
much your insurance collision deductible is, and how much your
insurance rates could go up if you make a claim because you lost
control or couldn’t stop in time.
OK Tire Store (Elmira) is your local O.K. Tire centre with the best
brands in all-season, performance and winter tires, plus winter rims
and cool custom wheels. Choose from Bridgestone, Firestone,
Kumho, Continental, General, Pirelli, Toyo Tires, and others. Every

warranty protection that is hard to beat.
