Second time I have been here to be fitted with shoes. I'm not a runner. Far from it. I'm a plus size woman who works too much and has metal in her ankle and they are great with helping fit me with shoes that are what I need.

Well worth the trip to have feet that feel better. Joe is full of foot and leg knowledge. He put me in reasonably priced shoes with some accessories. Gave me some stretching tips and ideas for pain relief at home.

First, your business was recommended to me by my family doctors’ practice when I asked for advice on foot pain that I was experiencing after running.
As a retired teacher, it is my training and nature to carefully observe and evaluate
The competence of those people that I encounter.
I have recently made two visits to your Asheville store and observed an entire staff of friendly, helpful and knowledgeable employees working there.
There is one who I want to comment on directly, Joe. While his degree of expertise is amazing and his communication skills are outstanding, it was his integrity which

I've been going to Scott since about 4 years ago, and from my first visit, he did more for me than 20 years of visiting podiatrists! He is a keen observer and listener, and using his skills as a Pedorthist, he was able to create an orthotic for me that worked! He is wonderful to work with and I recommend him to anyone who has ever had an issue with their feet! As a hiker, I am always appreciative with the high quality selection of sneaker choices, too. As a realtor, I'm on my feet all day, so what he does really creates a better day for me everyday!

Fantastic buying experience. I have been trying to exercise more but my regular shoes promoted knee pain. Amy at Foot RX asked questions about my lifestyle, challenges with my feet/legs/back, observed my gait and then made her recommendations for brands and styles. She had me try on several pairs of shoes making sure that each one was a good fit and ask me what I liked or disliked about each pair. At the end, I found an amazing pair of walking/trek shoes that I think are really going to help me be more comfortable and exercise more. Highly recommend and I'll be going back for another pair soon

Absolutely the most knowledgeable and friendliest staff! They truly care about helping you find the right shoes and equipment to make your walk/run more comfortable and enjoyable. The staff are real athletes who have real world experience with the products they carry, but don't intimidate the casual runner/walker/person with foot pain. They take time with each customer even when they're busy, and the store is always putting on races and events for the community. When you shop local at Foot Rx, you really get more for your dollar.

The only place to go for you are a runner in Asheville. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and on point when meeting your needs. Plus Scott does magic with his orthotic service: my daughter has been wearing them for years and the impact has been amazing. And I won’t play soccer without a pair of his off the shelf insoles in my boots.

If you are in need of semi-custom or custom inserts, This is the #1 place to go! I promise you will not walk out feeling like just another customer! From my first phone call to my fitting yesterday, Scott was absolutely amazing! He is kind, compassionate, and just all around genuine. He takes his time to find out what you need the most, explains… the process, and won't stop until you have the best fit possible!! His prices are hands down the BEST! I'm 44 with high arches. I have never in my life been able to put a pair of shoes on and feel comfortable, until yesterday!! It is the FIRST time

I am a Coach, Fitness Professional, and Trainer and this is my store for shoes.. By far, this is the Best place in town to get shoes for running, hiking, walking, etc. Scott Socha is a wonder individual who… loves feet and will do his best to take good care of your amazing feet. The staff is super knowledgeable, patient, and kind. They are genuinely interested in you having awesome comfortable shoes to suit your needs and activities and are not interested in you buying things you don't really need. I trust them 100% and highly recommend them.

To preface, I'm not someone who writes reviews, EVER. I work at a very busy restaurant in Asheville, and during these Covid times, everyday work is much more difficult than ever. These guys (Amy in particular) have been so wonderful to work with! Seriously finding the right shoes for my current situation changed everything for me. Restaurant folks feeling the pain, these peeps are you're savior. Worth every penny, and highly recommend the service they provide. Thanks for being great!

The personalized service to physically evaluate your foot size, arch and how you tilt when you walk delivers the perfect fit! They don’t try to push brands on you they offer suggestions and you decide what you prefer best. They explain how the shoes are designed unique to the shape and need. Top notch customer service! Exceptional friendly staff and great selection of shoes. I highly recommend you come try a store that offers a customized fit.

What a fabulous shop this is! I had an appointment with Joe who is a pedorthist there! I never heard of this before and a friend suggested going there. I'm glad I did! It was an hour appt I told him my issues and the I always have in hips and back, I told him I walk 4 to five miles 4 to five days a week he watched my gait a few times and tried on many pairs of sneakers and orthotics! After time we found a pair that felt really good! I could go on and on ! What it comes down to it his knowledge and help was excellent! Patient with me and easy to talk to!!! Thank you to Joe!!

Even though I am not a runner, this is probably my favorite business in town. This shoe store is dedicated to helping their customers find exactly the right shoe and they seem to go to Great Lengths to make it happen. Their resident pedorthist will make custom orthotics and work with you until they are exactly right. I have rarely seen a business so interested in customer satisfaction.

Fantastic local running and walking shop that supports it's community! You can not go wrong visiting this excellent establishment! They do a great job and will work their tails off to get in the best footwear possible for you. You get 30 days to run or walk in the shoes and can exchange them if there is a problem worn or not. Amazing service!

TL;DR

+ Great service and personal attention.
+ Orthotics made for fraction of price of doctor's offices
+ Good location

(This is a review for Scott, the pedorthist).

I have had supination for quite a while, but I always dealt with it because walking on it hasn't been too problematic. However, spending extended time hiking in North Carolina, I noticed just how bad it can get. I was having longer recovery days and aches after long hikes so I decided to finally do something about it - although I did not want to wait three weeks for custom orthotics and spend upwards of $300-500

I love the selection and the process they use to find the right shoe for us. I was disappointed today with their payment policy. I had been told on my last visit that I would be eligible for a $25 discount on this next visit because of purchasing $250 in shoes in the past. Apparently they have a new computer system and that discount did not flow through to the new system. They did offer a discount off of today's shoes, just not the $25 they had promised me as a repeat customer. It left a bad taste today and I am disappointed they did not make good on their agreement, especially if their new

Fairly priced. Good selection. Lots of knowledge. They take the time to diagnose your pronation by videotaping you running on their treadmill, then bring out a variety of choices that suit your needs. If they don't have the color you want in store, they can order it from the catalog.
