Why You Should Buy Orthotic Shoe Inserts In-Store Instead of Online

Shopping for shoe inserts online is convenient, but when it comes to orthotic shoe inserts, it’s better to shop in-store. Here are just a few reasons why.

Orthotic Inserts Experts

When you shop for shoe inserts online, you’re on your own. At Peterson Shoes, you have highly trained experts to help you find the best orthotics for your specific condition, as well as the proper footwear to accommodate those inserts. Peterson Shoes has Certified Pedorthists and a highly trained staff to help you select the best options for your most difficult foot health issues.

Large Selection of Orthotic Shoe Inserts

While it’s easy to find shoes and shoe inserts online, it’s hard to know exactly which ones are right for you. At Peterson Shoes, our focus is on comfortable footwear for a variety of painful foot conditions, including plantar fasciitis. Since fit and function are so important for orthotic shoe inserts, it is best to try them on in-store to find the best individual solution for your condition. It’s hard to know what to buy online. Just because an insert worked for someone else, doesn’t mean it will work for you, too. The “perfect” shoe insert varies greatly from person to person. We can fabricate custom orthotics for you as well.  You will need a prescription from your doctor and an appointment with one of our Certified Pedorthists.

Exceptional Customer Service

There simply is no parallel for the customer service you can receive in-store. Our friendly, caring and experienced professionals are here to fit your shoes and orthotics properly. Did you know that 85% of people wear the wrong shoe size? In store, we measure your foot length, width, and arch as all of these measurements are critical to proper fit. We also offer expert shoe repair on premises.

Events and Savings

We have fun events throughout the year where you can learn more about orthotic shoe inserts, get discounts, enter drawings for free shoes, and receive gifts with purchase. Peterson Shoes also offers a reward program that allows $25 off a purchase after spending only $300, a text club with a 15% discount on one item and an additional coupon if you join the birthday club.

While shopping online may seem more convenient, ordering orthotic shoe inserts online is a risk that can end up doing more harm than good. When you come into Peterson Shoes, you’ll have a wide selection of orthotics as well as expert service to ensure you’ve made the proper choice for your foot health and comfort.
