Our trained staff will guide you in your purchasing decisions based on your specific foot health needs. The purpose of an orthotic, especially our condition-specific orthotics made in-store, is to support the arch of your foot, off-load pressures on certain regions of the foot, begin to correct over-pronation, and generally distribute pressure evenly in the foot to reduce high pressure points.
Together, a shoe and orthotic combination can work wonders in treating your painful foot ailments. Attentive, friendly, individualized service with specialized focus on selecting appropriate styles and fit for podiatric concerns. I am vegan, and was able to find two pairs of shoes without animal skins, that were cute and had arch support for my flat feet.

I'm a male runner that have had a lot of ball of feet pain and second toe capsulitis I've been dealing with for 5 years now. Have tried so many different things and nothing ever gives me much relief where I can run. I purchased the Slomotion orthotics for the second toe capsulitis and they were simply awful to run in. Way to heavy for running, they weigh as much as my running shoes. Hopefully the Slomotion orthotics help some runners but sure did not me. I wore then about a week at work walking around trying to get them broke in , but just did not help me in any way.

I live in San Jose and wanted to drive down to get precise measurements for the insoles I wanted. But alas COVID19 shelter in place is a thing and online order is the only option.
I ordered the capsulitis insoles that has the 2nd toe cutout to relieve pressure off of my 2nd right toe. And ordered a regular met bar + metatarsalgia padding for the left one that is currently not in pain. The store straight up called me to verify and explain what's going on so Im thankful for that
Somehow, even without an in person fitment, the custom insoles fit me! Finally got some relief of my 2nd toe for

This was my first time in the store. Even though I arrived shortly before the store closed, I didn’t feel rushed. I was helped by a very knowledgeable gentleman who took the time to explain the benefits of each shoe I was interested in trying on and helped me to find a very comfortable shoe. I highly recommend the store!

This is the only place that will buy my shoes. They are so gracious and kind and helpful. They do not rush you they do not pressure you. I came in pretty close to closing time and they stayed open late just for me without making me feel rushed or that I was an inconvenience. I would highly recommend getting all your work shoes dress shoes play shoes running shoes everyday shoes here.

I came across their ad on Facebook and decided to visit. I had one goal when I went into SLO motion shoes. To find running shoes that worked better for me than my current running shoes. I worked with Charla, she was friendly helpful and thanks to her I found a pair that worked for me
There is definitely a mark up (which is to be expected) , but the convenience of walking out with a pair was worth it.

I was very impressed with the knowledge, skill and affability of the lady who helped me find the best fit and attractiveness of my shoes.
The only thing I would change would be a chance to look over the different styles and colors ahead of time. It was as if the shoes had already been chosen for me, but it was easy to let the lady know my preferences after a while. She was very patient.

Dr Byrne referred me here for an orthotic insole. I was on the fence and skeptical given some of the reviews and figured I could just find the orthotic on Amazon.
However given how much I like Dr Byrne I took a chance. Boy am I glad I did. Charla was my fit specialist and she was attentive, helpful and I was in and out of there in less than 30 minutes. Plus I got a great deal (my luck day they had my size a style I liked on clearance for 1/2 off) on two pair of athletic shoes that support my feet and work nicely with my orthotics.
If you want professional help first see Dr. Byrne, then follow

Dr Byrne and the SLO Motion shoe staff are amazing. I am a runner and RN. I have been running since high school. I have never had an injury until I turned 50. I have a neuroma that has bothered me for years, but never kept me from my daily runs or working 12 hour shifts. I had a skiing injury on the opposite knee of the foot neuroma....and then my neuroma pain went from 2-10. I could hardly work 2 hours without having to change shoes and try to rub the pain away while working. Dr Byrne got me right in. He then sent me to the shoe part of his practice. The staff at SM shoes have helped me

Charla Bay was a great help at Slo Motion shoes. She was patient and knowledgeable. I found comfortable New Balance shoes and my husband purchased a similar pair with Mr. Wyche. He had good insights and helped my husband realize the benefits of supportive footwear. We will be going back to Slo Motion shoes!!

I purchased my second pair of orthotics from SLO Motion Shoes two weeks ago. When I got home, I saw where they were coming apart, not glued properly. They were also to big and wouldnt fit any of my shoes. Due to being out of the state, today, May 31, 2018, was my first opportunity to take them back. This is where i met Greg Wyche, Fit Speclalist. Not a very good representative of this company. My concerns, too big and coming apart from not being glued properly. Mr Wyche response, this is normal and it was up to me to cut the ortthotic, $75.00 plus tax, to fit my shoes. Humm, thought that might

Came here to buy a pair of shoes for work, and was helped by Greg.
What a different shoe "shopping" experience. He did gait testing, inspected my feet, actually measured my foot, fit me for orthotics that helped me in ways that relieved pain I have had in my foot for years. He showed me a new way to lace my shoes to prevent heel slipping. Showed me that the colors they put on shoes isn't just for show, but actually has a meaning.. mind blown. And they didn't charge any more then famous footwear or any other local shoe store. I will forever come here for work and athletic shoes

I took time off work to check out the shoe of the month. Hiking shoe, water proof-just what I wanted, just what I was looking for-and to try on in person -perfect! I was Excited to try it out!!
When I arrived I was told oh, the shoe of the month?? They did not have my size and unable to get more for at least a couple of months as companies changed. Wow, really disappointing. I wish I had known before taking the time off work or drive the 25 miles */- up, then back to work (an hour in drive time) . Emails go out with shoe of the month, why not let us know it is not available??

Orthotics was among the recommendations of my podiatrist for treating capsulitis , a problem I'd experienced with my right foot, limiting my ability to walk, golf and play pickleball, all of which were unacceptable. SLO Motion Shoes, a business located adjacent to the podiatrist's office became part of the solution. Their knowledge, professionalism and excellent customer service effort prompts this review as the results have been fantastic. Their shoe selection combined with the correct orthotic device had me experience immediate relief and along with a follow-up visit, have allowed me to again

Worst medical experience ever.
The treatment at San Luis Podiatry Group always begins with a sale at SLO Motion Shoes. That is the go-to fix for the group. No surprising since there is co-ownership between the group and the store. Be aware not all orthotics are covered by insurance. My orthotics fell apart in a week. See the bottom of the letter where they refund for the low quality orthotics.
For the record, the medical group cannot take constructive criticism about its staff or scheduling. You will be dropped. See Below.

I have looked for shoe inserts and had some made by doctors all at great expense. SLO Motion Shoes was the first to address my problem and I feel their price and quality as well as advice was worth it. The inserts were 20% of the price I would pay a doctor. I look forward to using them for my wife's insert as well.

Martin helped fit my inserts. He explains explained everything to me. I took the treadmill test and was fitted for awesome inserts. Dr. BYRNE apt was super fast while this appointment was slower and more informative. Sad when the Doctor's bedside manner doesn't match as a shoe store worker. Would recommend getting fitted here. Place you can in trust your feet.
