Foot Dynamics

Very knowledgeable and helpful. They evaluated my feet and recommended an easy over-​the-​counter option that worked well and was much less expensive than an orthotic.

I broke my right leg in junior high and afterward, when I grew, my left leg got longer but my right leg didn’t. I’ve been noticeably lopsided ever since. I’d always heard that it was bad for your back, hips, and other joints to be uneven, but I hadn’t known what to do about it other than graft an extra inch onto my leg. Talking to my dad I found out that Foot Dynamics could help me figure out if I needed some orthopedic adjustments done to improve my overall alignment, so I made an appointment to see the team at Foot Dynamics.
Just call – it’s free to schedule an assessment, and they’re happy to have you in. When I showed up, they warmly welcomed me and had me fill out a little information about my problem and what I was looking for. Then Janice, the podiatric specialist, sat down with me and looked at my feet and legs, measured this and that, checked out my posture, and gave me her information. She took time to talk to me, ask lots of questions, and then look for solutions.
It turned out that a little bit of a lift in my right shoe makes a big difference in how it feels to walk. For $ 10 I purchased a set of lifts, which is a lot cheaper than surgery, and a little less painful too. I never felt pressured to buy anything, and Janice said I didn’t need the lifts if I wanted to. The entire experience felt like it was about helping me, and not selling a product. I loved Janice’s sense of humor. She also explained all sorts of shoes with me and helped me understand what zero rise, a wide toe box, thin or thick soles, and orthotics were. I left feeling like a sort of footwear guru.
I didn’t buy any shoes at the store because, frankly, many of them were kind of ugly. They do have a good variety, though, and a great number of running shoes. They also offer Danskos, Birkenstocks, Keens, and Earth Shoes, which are brands I’m familiar with and that do have footwear not so ugly that you can wear it in public. When I do need a new pair of shoes, I’ll definitely be back here.
Nice people, a fantastic service, and a great, welcoming vibe. It’s places like these that make downtown Boise worth seeking out.
In fact, if you park at a meter, they’ll give you quarters and help feed it as long as you need to while you’re shopping, so you don’t have to hurry. How cool is that?
Definitely make a trip here if you’re an athlete of any kind, or you just wonder how your feet might make you happier. This place is a great hidden treasure in Boise.

Jeff and the team at Foot Dynamics are the best. I have bought several things from them, both in person and online. Both processes were easy and accurate. They have custom orthopedics, Birkenstock, Altra, and much more. Go there!

I have been in this store on three different occasions. I am torn on how to review. On the plus side, they have a great selection of shoes and they are willing to order for you if they don’t have the right size. On the negative side, their customer service is the Dyson of suckiness. They will flat out ignore you for the most part, and then they act as though waiting on you is bothering them. As I’ve mentioned, three times and the same service. There is one guy who knows how to treat customers – an English/​Psychology major who is employed as a shoe salesman. He is friendly, nice, and willing to help you. However, the other people who work in the store are. .. lazy? unhelpful? rude? disrespectful to my disabled mother? Is that too harsh? So, in a nutshell, if you need shoes, it’s a great place. If you’re expecting any level of customer service, I’d order online. Oh, I’ll end on a positive, if you need your shoes built up (disabled mom), the guy who does the buildups is helpful, nice, and very easy to work with. He is a rock star.

What a great store! I have hard-​to-​fit feet and so does Dad. We both went in and found nice shoes to fit us!
They have great selections of Birkenstocks, which are my favorite, plus quite a few other brands of shoes and high-​quality socks.
Pleased with service and selection. Have purchased shoes here on two occasions and will continue to shop here first!
