What customers say after a fitting.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Above & beyond service.

"Thank you so much to the Manager of Comfort Footworks in Matthew’s NC. She went the extra mile in customer service! She hand delivered our elderly mom’s orthopedic sneakers to her nursing home room. I am in Savannah Ga and couldn’t pick up the shoes. Seniors are often a forgotten group of people. Thank you so much for treating her to this surprise."

PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Heel pain gone in a week.

"Tim, the owner, was so kind and patient and very helpful! My mom got a pair of OrthoFeet Nira sneakers and she was so happy!!! She’s been dealing with bursitis, tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis so we were so happy to find a local shop where she could try on a good pair of shoes. Highly recommend!!!!!"

PLANTAR FASCIITIS

12+ Hours on my feet without pain

"What a fabulous store, owned by a father and his daughter. I recently started a job in healthcare, requiring I be on my feet for 12+ hours per shift, and my feet felt broken after three days in a row. Both the owner and his daughter were so friendly and helpful, and the owner really knew his stuff! Just in the few minutes of trying on shoes that actually fit MY feet, I could already tell the difference."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about shopping with us, online or in-store.

Do I need to visit your store to get the right shoes?

No. Everything on this site is chosen for specific foot conditions, and we ship nationwide with free returns.

How do I choose the right shoe for my condition?

Start with Shop by Condition near the top of this page — pick what you're dealing with and we'll show the shoes and orthotics that work for it. Prefer a hand recommendation? Call (704) 846-0301 for a free consultation, or see what our pedorthists are recommending right now.

Can I get a recommendation over the phone?

Yes, and it's free. Call (704) 846-0301 and we'll help you find the right footwear or orthotic based on your condition, activity level, and fit preferences.

Can I use FSA/HSA to pay for shoes or orthotics?

Yes. Many of our therapeutic footwear and orthotic products are FSA/HSA eligible, which means you can use pre-tax health savings to pay for clinically appropriate footwear. Contact us if you need documentation for your flex spending account.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 60-Day Comfort Guarantee. If your shoes or orthotics don’t feel right, contact us within 60 days for an exchange or full refund.

What makes Comfort Footworks different from other shoe stores?

We're a specialty foot care store, not just a shoe store. Two board-certified pedorthists are on staff, and Paul has 34+ years of clinical experience. Every product is hand-selected — we don't stock what's trendy, we stock what works for real foot conditions.
