Testimonials

"I have recently purchased a business,  whereby I am on my feet all day. This caused me great pain in my back,  until one day I got talking to a customer which happened to be Joe and Rosalinda Polifroni from Foot Supports Int’l about feet.

Rosalinda did a balance test on me there and then,  which proved that my feet were not getting the support needed in the arch of my foot. Rosalinda kindly gave me these supports to see if it help my back.

Unbelievably within two hours the chronic pain I was feeling had lessened to a degree where I now will not wear any shoe unless these inserts are in them,  even in my slippers at night.

I thank the day I meet Rosalinda and Joe,  for giving me back a life with no pain."

Pounding The Pavement

"I’ve been lucky enough to have been fitted up with a pair of “Balanced Workers” supplied by Foot Supports International Limited.
After a length spell away from running, I recently decided it was time to get back to “pounding the pavement” and try to loss some weight for summer. In the past running has not been my favourite past time, a constant sore lower back, tight uncomfortable hamstrings and aching knees are a result from running.

However, thanks to the “Balanced Workers” I have now completed over ten 6.5 km runs with little to no pain or discomfort the following morning. I would highly recommend the product.

Rugby Play and Physical Trainer

"To Whom it may concern,

My name is Jordan Larsen. I am a rugby player who has played both senior representative rugby professionally overseas and senior premier level rugby in New Zealand, recently including playing rugby with the North Harbour Rugby Sevens Squad in 2010/11. I have also been a member of the North Sport Weightlifting Team based at the millennium Institute in Mairangi Bay Auckland training with New Zealand’s Olympic Weightlifting Team. I am also a CrossFit Coach/Athlete training out of the CrossFit Auckland Gym in North Harbour.

My daily training regiment requires me to be in the best possible physical condition and since Joe Polifoni introduced me to the Foot Supports ‘Balance Walker’ I now insist on having these orthotics in my work shoes throughout the day as they reduce daily fatigue from being on my feet.

I have also seen huge improvement in my injury condition with regard to my calve muscles and a condition called ‘compartment syndrome’. I am naturally flat-footed which has helped cause my compartment syndrome, coupled with the fact that as rugby players we use rugby boots today that do not have enough adequate arch support which compounds this problem. Since using the ‘Balance Worker’ in my rugby boots and running/lifting shoes for every workout/game, I will now never go for a run or do exercise involving weightlifting or running without the ‘Balance Worker’ foot support. These orthotics have had a huge positive effect on my physical condition."

Sceptic Became Amazed!

"To be honest I was a little sceptical at first of the benefits of the balance walker. I had seen the advertisement a couple of times on the TV and found it difficult to believe that when the pressure was placed on the persons hands, while wearing the arch supports, could make the person so stable while standing.

I had been involved in footwear for many years as a pattern stylist and have a natural interest in the feet and posture, so when I saw the advertisement I was intrigued to learn how the balance walker aided people. A few days later I saw your Ad for a salesperson and immediately jumped at the opportunity to see for myself.

Once I tried on the balance walker and had the balance test I was sold. I found I was standing straighter and my whole posture was more balanced. I could then relax and listen and believe the experiences you and Raj have had with your arch supports. It was great to hear yourself and Raj believe in the product so much, and that you are involved in helping people in such a major way. I have been involved in lighting for five years and while I can be enthusiastic about the products, I found myself envious of you both being involved I such a useful product.

Once I got home I could not wait to put on my usual walking shoes a go for a walk. Once walking I found myself walking so straight and really felt a difference in my walking structure. I was amazed with this and also felt no pain at all in my back, and haven’t for the past week. I then tried the balance walker on my wife and children, though I was a bit apprehensive about their shoe sizes. The test went exactly the same way as when you gave me the balance test, so we were all very impressed.

I have had a tender back for many years and it sometimes caused a jagging annoying niggle in my lower back. I have become use to living with it but am now absolutely wrapped that the jagging has disappeared. On Friday night we decided to go in to party central with family and friends – 45 mins on the platform, 1 hour standing on the train, walking through thousands of people, putting my 9 year old boy on my shoulders for two half hour stints, waiting in line again for the train for 1.5 hrs and finally the train trip back. I thought this was a fairly good test for my back with my new balance walkers. If I did this a few weeks ago my back would have definitely been very stiff the next day. I woke up the next day with no pain at all thanks the balance walker."

Stand Straight Up With Good Posture

"Dear Foot Supports International,

I feel compelled to write to you about my experience with your arch supports.  I consider myself a fit and healthy 40 year old but I’ve always wanted to improve my posture.  My shoulders naturally tend to roll forward which leads me to slouch somewhat.  A couple of months ago I started wearing your arch supports.  The improvement in my posture was immediate.  I no longer need to keep reminding myself to pull my shoulders back.  Now I automatically stand straight up with good posture.  In general I feel much better balanced which I’ve also noticed is helping my golf swing.  I’m sure my new and improved posture will help me to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle.  Thank you so much!

Best regards"

Shifting The Lift

"Many years ago, I injured my knees playing sports and had recurring pain.  As a university lecturer, I am constantly on my feet and my knees would hurt every night.  About three years ago, I tried the Balance Walker and my pain went away.  However, some pain started to return about 6 months later.  I changed from the Worker (high lift) to the Walker (medium lift) and the pain went away again.  Now I change the lift every few weeks and the pain has not come back.  I am going to put a pair in all of my shoes so that I never have to think about it again!!"

More confidence and healthier lifestyle

 Hi, my husband and I recently purchased a pair of your balance walkers and impact absorbers each in one of your all inclusive specials. We are over the moon with the results. My husband can run for longer periods with out pain. I can bike long distances without my back getting sore as it used to. Our feet feel like they are on holiday. We sit straighter, walk straighter and feel great. In the past I have had to have chiropractic care and even with ACC it still cost me about $600 all up. They were marvelous and got me back to work and realigned. With the Balance Walkers I have much more confidence that I will not have that sort of problem in future. We are so excited about your product that we are showing everyone who will listen. We do the balance test first then encourage them to try our balance walkers in their shoes. They are so excited when they experience this product for themselves. So far we have recommended them to a karate instructor a Massey university professor a minister in church and many of our friends and acquaintances. Whenever we get the opportunity we will continue to do so. Thank you so much for an excellent product, you are helping so many people.
