Previously, I had bad foot mechanics, constant foot pain, heels slipping out of shoes, and an inability to grip the floor during lifts... Everything is different now with my Pedestals! They are comfortable, functional, and they are exactly as advertised.

Keeping the carpet clean was important as we do a lot of floor work. They are form fitting, have great grip, and my clients comment on how much they love them and look forward to putting them on. Ah-mazing!

Pedestals are the best footwear for most training, the brevity of them and wide toe box is key. I love your company and products, so I will be using and recommending them liberally. THANK YOU!

I have hip pain, I often felt unstable in sneakers, and I had trouble finding pairs that fit my feet. I loved the freedom of movement pretty much immediately and now I am in complete control of my foot/ankle positioning...

Marjorie H.

I do intense strength and conditioning training 3-4 times a week and have been able to make tremendous improvements because my feet are no longer inhibiting me.

Christine F.

I no longer have to give my footwear any thought at all as I go from my mobility work, to my lifting, and PT.
