Product Showcase: Newly Developed Insole Product Promotes Healthy Staff and Restaurant Profitability

Foot pain and discomfort can lead to poor service, staff turnover and fleeing customers. Recently a new foot care product was invented to prevent this, while boosting service and profit, helping food service professionals focus on giving excellent service, rather than on their aching feet. A new category of moldable insoles, called Balancers, is helping to prevent a variety of debilitating foot problems that could otherwise slow staff and turn away customers. The new type of insoles not only contour to feet to balance and ease walking, but also minimize shock with a cushioning gel, while providing anti-fungal, anti-odor control. This not only allows food service staff to walk or stand longer with better mobility and endurance, but also encourages better faster, service. Riecken Orthotic Laboratories, a leader in custom shoe insert design, produced these insoles, the first to provide three levels of foot protection for food service professionals: 1) a foot-contouring foam cushion for comfort and stability; 2) a gel cushion to absorb shock and shear; and 3) silver fibers for vast reduction of odor-causing bacteria and foot fungus.
