THE FOOT FOUNDATION™

Intelligence for your Feet, The foot foundations patented testing method recreates the critical patterns of balance that mimics any dynamic activity.

Mission: To use our unique balance improving process of to Help people achieve their goals in sports, and life.

We believe that:

“Performance can be improved, by simply finding the optimal foot position inside the shoe/boot”. We call this position "Dynamic Neutral".

What makes the foot foundation so unique

SBS is the First, feasible mass market approach to balance improvement in all sports.

  • First ever to improve people's balance and sport performance in only 15 minutes ( similar products take 1 to 2 hrs and cost an average of $250 to $450)

  • First boot fitting/alignment service to be offered in an on snow restaurant, and comming soon to, golf courses, bike shops, ice rinks etc.

  • Enhances performance in various activities and sports immediately. Including: Skiing, Golfing, Skating, Trekking, Biking, X-Country, Running, In Line hockey and skating, Snowboarding, Walking, Medical applications, Elderly care, People on their feet all day, industrial applications.

  • You can adjust the shims from shoe to shoe and from one sport to another as you wish. This is a stark contrast to approaches where boots might be shaved and the adjustment would be permanent and very difficult to adjusts if you wished.

  • Resolves vague foot, ankle, knee and back pain thru proper muscular and skeletal alignment

What is this product?

The Shim balance System™ (SBS)

The patented SBS system is a combination of tools, theories, and products that provide muscular symmetry through internal foot “canting”.

The SBS System consists of:

Our easy four Step Process 5-10 minutes

  1. Stand on the Neutralizer (Bootless, on one foot )
  2. Receive Alignment suggestion for each foot in degrees.
  3. measure the internal angles of the boot and subtract from foot numbers.
  4. The proper shims are trimmed to fit into shoe/boot.

General product comparison

Before, it took 1 to 2hrs.

Now, you get aligned for $100

Before, it cost an average of $250-$450

Now, you can test yourself at home or on snow

Before, only the experts could check you

Now, you can get fixed on snow, no appointments required

Before, you had to ski down, walk to a shop or call for appointments.

Now, we are now evaluating three variables.

  • Skeletal movements
  • Muscular contractions
  • Proprioceptive response

Before, theories only considered skeletal position

Center of the knee mass

Now, We use a process called “dynamic testing”

A Patented one footed testing method.

Before, static two footed testing methods were used.Now, we reposition the ankle inside the ski boot. “Dynamic neutral” with a “balance shim”. This provides proper knee tracking.

Before, measure center of knee and align it over the center of the ski. While standing on two feet.

The Foot Foundation was founded by Eric Ward (see bio) in the 1990's. His education, experience and continued research into how balance affects performance in sports led to the development of the patented Shim Balance System (SBS).

With the Shim Balance System, an athlete's footbed is measured and optimized by adding a custom-angled shim. This instantly improves balance and performance in the sport.


OUR FUTURE

The Foot Foundation is looking to sell the Foot First Aid idea and system to Ski Areas all around the country and abroad.

There has been lots of interest in Europe- expansion in Europe is imminent We are actually testing the product in many different markets with lots of success- golf, biking, snowboarding, skating ( ice-rollerblades, ice hockey).

Medical world has shown support and trust this product could revolutionize this market.
