6:31 pm
were gone and, uh... and that was unbelievable. >> i will never not have them, because i will never go back to living with pain again. >> it sure changes your life, you bet it does. you get rid of pain, it's gonna change your life. >> announcer: and you can be free from foot pain too, with the new walkfit platinum orthotics. you've read about orthotics. doctors have known about them for years. they're medically and biomechanically engineered inserts that go in your shoes to get you out of pain. seven years ago, the world was introduced to the original walkfits. since then, five million people have improved the quality of their lives. now, walkfit proudly introduces the next generation in comfort and stability, the walkfit platinum orthotic. we've taken good, and made it better. still with its bio-lock heel cup and customizable inserts, but now with a patented gel pad for added cushioning and shock absorption. there's nothing like
6:32 pm
the new walkfit. >> the beauty of an orthotic is that it aligns the foot and ankle. then, everything else goes back into balance, with stability and comfort. >> announcer: just imagine dancing, bowling, playing golf, shopping or just going for a walk in comfort and without pain. in the next half-hour, you'll learn how the walkfit platinum orthotics can help you walk and live more comfortably than ever before. now, from the mall of america in minneapolis/st. paul, please welcome podiatric surgeon dr. allen selner and co-hosts mimi umidon and stuart pankin. [cheers and applause] >> stuart: hello, twin cities! wow! >> mimi: and you all have walkfits in your shoes, right? [louder cheers] yeah, whoo! >> you know, it really is amazing how many people are now walking pain-free because of walkfit orthotics, people just like many of you and you at home who had foot pain and foot-related pain. we're talking leg cramps,
6:33 pm
aching knees and hips, lower back pain, and it all began with their feet. walkfit orthotics went into their shoes, straightened out their feet and the other problems went away too. >> stu, you've heard me say this for years: it's alignment, alignment, alignment. you align your feet and you help align your whole body. you know, as a doctor, it is so gratifying to hear from so many patients and friends whose lives have been dramatically affected by wearing walkfits. they're up, they're out, they're golfing, walking, shopping, doing whatever they want to do pain-free. >> but you're probably all wondering what we're doing here at the mall of america. well, we have a couple of big announcements to make and what better place to come than the biggest enclosed shopping and entertainment complex in the u.s.? >> talk about being on your feet. under this roof, there's a full amusement park with dozens of rides, there's an underwater adventure area and over a mile and a half of walkways. >> the perfect place for our big announcement. stuey? >> well, it's been seven years since people began putting walkfits in their shoes. a little over three years ago, the last time we got together,
6:34 pm
there were one and a half million walkfits sold. today, that number has more than triple now there are over five million happy walkfit users! [audience cheers] >> mimi: and we're talking worldwide. walkfits are being used by people in 58 countries on six continents. walkfit orthotics are now the number one custom-fitted orthotic in the world. >> because they work. heel spurs, hammertoes, bunions, shin splints, knee pain, hip pain, back pain... most of these problems are aggravated by poor alignment. walkfits are true orthotics that when you put them in your shoes increase your balance, stability and alignment. >> and we've heard from literally thousands of people out there... all had one thing in common, pain. walkfits went into their shoes and the pain went away. i got a chance to fly around the country to meet just some of those people. >> i couldn't believe going from that severe pain to no pain. no foot pain, no ankle pain, no arch pain... and it was like,
6:35 pm
oh, i can walk again. i don't hurt. i can move, i can be normal, i can work, i can be on my feet for hours. i am out of pain. there is no pain... there is no pain. >> couple months ago, i found out i was a borderline diabetic and the things i have to do to change it are, is to exercise, to eat better, but the exercise is the most important part. well, it's not always that easy to do that when you're a large person. i walk with my wife a lot but i have trouble keeping up with her. i try... try playing catch-up the whole time and it doesn't always work, or in the past it didn't work. now it does. the pain is gone in my knee. i'm still losing weight. i can't see myself walking without these things now. one day i had pain in my feet, pain in my knees. the next day i had no pain at all and the only difference was putting them in my shoes. >> i couldn't walk. um, at the very worst, my feet would get so bad that i literally had to turn my feet and walk on the sides of my feet. i must have spent well into the thousands trying to cure
6:36 pm
my problem and, with my feet, nothing worked. the walkfit orthotics are fantastic. it's the difference between doing the things in life that i want to do that i love or just getting through the day with... limping around with as little pain as possible. they're the reason that i can run and that i can just have a normal life. i can walk barefoot. i can wear pretty shoes. i can do everything i want and not have any pain. i will always have them and i will always wear them. >> mimi: now, we've seen these blocks before. >> yes, they represent your body. your foot, your ankle, you knee, your hip, your back, all the way up. when everything's aligned, it's stable, but what happens when your foot or your ankle goes out of alignment? everything compensates. your bones can't support you, so your muscles try, and you end up with pain somewhere between your feet and your back. >> but walkfits help. >> the beauty of an orthotic is it aligns the foot and ankle, then everything else goes back into balance. the walkfit makes you feel a whole lot better. as you can see in
6:37 pm
this animation, if you're out of alignment, the whole body suffers. the ankle breaks down, the knees turn inward, the hip drops, the back tries to compensate, putting incredible strain on all your muscles and tendons. but with the walkfit, you help realign the heel and ankle. the knee straightens, the hip realigns, you're putting your entire body in better balance with stability and comfort. remember, we're not just treating a foot problem, we're treating a body problem as well. >> so how quickly can you expect to see changes with walkfit and how dramatic can those changes be? just a couple of days ago, i set up shop here at the mall of america. hundreds of midwestern folk lined up to test the orthotics and they were astounded by how the walkfits could easily improve their stability and balance. >> wow! >> stuart: i'm gonna push down. >> all right. >> you resist, don't let me do it. ...without the walkfits, janet was a pushover. [janet laughs] but when she had a pair of walkfits under her feet... ...oh. >> out of control! >> stuart: her heels didn't come up, her toes didn't grab
6:38 pm
and her weight was properly supported, giving her strength and stability. >> it's all the difference in the world. >> whoa, that's pretty impressive. >> whoa... that's, that's amazing. >> o.k., that's it... [man laughs] dave... dave, look at this. look at this... me, him. i'm gonna do it again, you resist. what do you think? >> unbelievable. it works. >> [laughs] wow. >> oh, much better. >> what do you think? >> it's good. >> i fell over... >> [laughs] i know. >> oh, my gosh. >> that's awesome. that did not just happen. >> wow, i didn't move! >> no, you didn't move because you're all balanced. you're all in alignment. >> do it again. >> you know, i've been sitting over there watching you guys and i... you know, you always think there's something up with something. that really changed my balance, and i'm telling you, i'm on my feet 10 hours a day. i'm desperate for something different and... i just can't believe the difference it made in my balance. i... i kid you not.
6:39 pm
>> well, i love my orthotics, doc, but this walkfit looks a little different than the old walkfit. >> well, mimi, we still have the same effective walkfit design as before but we added a specialized gel pad where it counts most, directly under the heel. with this gel pad, you get much more cushioning and protection. >> but everything else that made the walkfit so effective is still the same, right, doc? >> the shape of the new walkfit is the same and the support and the stability are the same. it all begins with the bio-lock heel cup. it supports both sides and the back of your foot to help lock the foot in and keep the heel from rolling. this is extremely important for stability. then you've got your metatarsal and sagittal arch support. this helps distribute the excessive forces so you land evenly and correctly. and most important, the walkfit flexes to help absorb shock and then returns the energy to your foot to help you walk. your foot actually conforms to the walkfit, not the other way around. >> we discussed this during the last show. it's like those back chairs that place your back and spine in the correct position
6:40 pm
to alleviate the pressure and the pain, and the walkfit does the same for your feet. >> dr. selner: exactly, and we still have our patented comfort arch inserts... three different thicknesses. these are gonna give you the kind of fit and comfort you want the very first time you put 'em in your shoes. we now have an orthotic that protects, stabilizes, cushions and absorbs shock like nothing else. >> i've been wearing these for, i bet you, three years now. i... got a pair in my work boots and i got a pair in the shoes that i wear around the house all day. every pair of shoes that i wear, i have 'em. if i don't wear 'em, then my feet ache again. >> i tore my a.c.l. in my left knee, then i tore the one in my right knee and after that i said, "o.k., that's it. i'm not gonna play anymore." walkfit has changed my life. i never thought that they could do what they do for me. it's just, it's amazing. >> i was to the point where i would just, you know, kind of crawl, uh... almost literally crawl. i kept living on the premise that it was gonna go away. well, it didn't go away until i discovered the walkfit.
6:41 pm
now i'm able to get up and not have to hobble before i, before i, i go to move and, and do more things than i was able to do before. if i didn't have my walkfits, i'd be back in... i'd be back in, in pain. i'm most assured of that. >> this is an incredibly good product. i am not being paid to endorse this. i love the product. i felt that it was a good thing to let the manufacturer know how happy i was with the product and how our patients are happy with it, and i would tell anybody that this is the right thing for them. >> i wear orthotics in my shoes every day. the fact is that they've changed the way i live. i always thought the pain in my feet and legs were because i was overweight. i now walk and exercise more with comfort and with much less pain. >> athletes and those who could afford them have been using them for years. until now, they've just been too expensive. finally, there's an affordable orthotic everyone can use, so affordable that even if you own the old walkfits, you'll want the new walkfit platinums. >> we'll be right back! [cheers and applause] >> announcer: if you suffer from sore, aching feet, take heart.
6:42 pm

[applause] >> dr. allen, what about all these cushions and inserts we've been putting in our shoes for years? >> well, a lot of people buy these things and they do cushion, but i can't imagine they shock absorb very well. >> all right, well, what about this gel thing? it's very popular. >> well, better, and that's why our new walkfit orthotic has a gel heel for added cushioning. but by themselves, where's the support and stability and how do they help with...? >> alignment... >> both: alignment, alignment. >> alignment and stability. and don't forget, we have holes in the walkfit to keep your feet cool all the time. >> o.k., now, doc, tell us exactly what's happening down
6:47 pm
there with our feet and why everyone should wear walkfit. >> o.k., let's go take a look at the skeletal muscles again. now, as i've said before, there are 26 bones in the foot and they all must work in harmony. when you walk, the foot collapses and the bones can go out of alignment. not only can that result in hip, knee and back pain but it can lead to hammertoes, corns and calluses as well. now, the walkfit is a true orthotic, and when i place it under the foot and press down, you'll see that the orthotic is maintaining the alignment of the foot. >> the walkfit really can make a dramatic difference in your life. >> even if all you're doing is shopping. now, just before the holidays, we gathered together a group of women and gave them one instruction: shop till you drop! they were very excited. but after several hours on their feet, what they found was that walking and carrying all those bags of gifts was no holiday treat. >> my feet hurt, and my knees. >> i feel tired, my feet hurt. >> i am tired.

my feet are pretty sore. >> my hip is starting to hurt, my shoulders hurt and i just want to go home and go to bed. >> mimi: so we gave them walkfits. then, a week later, we brought them back with the same instruction: shop till you drop! [♪...] this time, it was a different story. their feet, their knees and their backs didn't hurt. >> lower back pain, gone... uh, the pain on the balls of my feet, gone. >> my focus was not on my feet. >> they're great. they're absolutely wonderful. >> i am pain-free. >> they feel so much better today. >> i have just literally shopped till i dropped but i'm still standing. >> the difference is unbelievable. i've had these things for a week. it is un-flippin'-believable. >> let me tell you, they were really one happy group. >> hey, doc, these are good for kids and seniors too, right? >> dr. selner: they're great for kids. as for seniors, they're indispensable. >> and you also said that walkfit platinums are great for athletes too. >> they are great for athletes. when you run or jump, you're hitting the ground with three to four times your body weight. that's 300-400% more pressure
6:49 pm
on your joints. you'd be foolish not to have walkfit in all your athletic shoes. >> well, i know i use orthotics in my golf shoes. it really makes walking the golf course a lot easier. >> and, stuey, they can also give you a much more balanced swing by getting your pressure back over your heels, off the ball of your foot where you're out of balance. >> and they last a lifetime, guaranteed. in our last show, we actually ran a 52,000-pound steamroller over the walkfit to show how durable it is. it came out a little dusty, but as good as new with its support and cushion ability intact. >> but since then, we found a little more practical example of just how good the walkfits are and how long they last. >> last year, we got a call from a guy in new jersey who said he wanted to walk across the country but his feet hurt when he walked. he said he had just bought a pair of walkfits and now they felt great and he'd call us when he arrived in california. >> stuart: we got that call last summer, met up with him on the coast in malibu. >> you have to enjoy walking, basically. it's pretty basic. but you have to have some kind of driving...
6:50 pm
you have to love walking. before i started this journey, i tried a lot of other brands... you know, the gel foam, even, even some of the harder orthotics, and nothing worked. saw the walkfit on the infomercial, put it in my shoes and i could tell they were working immediately. these are my fifth pair of shoes since i started in the jersey shore. you get maybe 4-, 500 miles out of a cheap $15 pair of sneakers. the walkfit have lasted over 3,000 miles now and they're still going fine. i ended my walk in oceanside, which is south of where we are at this moment. it felt wonderful, really. kind of relief in a sense, 'cause i was tired at the time. i could not have walked across this country without the walkfit and i will wear them the rest of my life. >> i'm not surprised at all the incredible stories we've heard. i've seen dramatic results with my own patients, let alone the five million pair that are being worn worldwide. >> and by the way, these fit into most shoes: loafers, tie shoes, work boots, even sandals.
6:51 pm
>> now you're probably wondering if there's anything else like the walkfit. >> actually, there is something that's sort of close. this is the orthotic that you hear advertised on the radio. >> they look an awful lot alike. >> well, actually, they're not. where is the custom insert, the gel heel? >> plus, one more very important difference: these cost over $245. that's about 10 times the price of the walkfit. >> so don't wait. start improving your life today. pick up the phone and join the five million people who have experienced the benefits of walkfit orthotics. >> now, we'll be back in just a minute, so don't go away.

with foot pain, and to get relief, uh, from your foot pain, it's, it's an amazing experience. clearly, it's a miracle. >> i tried everything to get out of pain. the iontophoresis was steroids through the skin. that really didn't help very much. i had steroid injections at the site and i had the custom- made orthotics... and i still could not walk. the walkfits made a huge difference. to be able to do those things that give me joy that i had, i thought i had to write off-- i thought i'd never be able to do again-- i've been able to do and... [emotionally]: that means a lot to me. i'm so sorry. >> years of firefighting did take a toll on, uh, on my feet and nothing helped until i got the, uh, walkfits. they... phew, they feel great. there's no pain. i kick myself for spending $200 for those other orthotics when i could have had, i could have bought 10 walkfits for, uh, for the price of one. i've been wearing them for five years, haven't had a lick of pain ever since.
