LaFoot & OPIS

LaFoot, a sports medicine boutique based in Berkeley, California has provided clinical treatment as well as athletic shoes and sports medicine products since 1989. The years since the store opening have seen improved treatments, enhanced equipment and radically modified shoes. However there has not been an objective way to compare and recommend shoes based on an individual's unique needs.

Now, using LaFoot clinical trials and innovative patented testing equipment, OPIS provides that information. With OPIS, shoes are tested, categorized and rank-ordered based on their effectiveness in stabilizing and cushioning the foot. The medical community, consumers, retailers and manufacturers now have clear standards to guide the selection of appropriate footwear. See how it works by trying the personal and injury profilers.
