5:11 am
unl i discovered the walkfit. now i'm ab to get up and not have to hobble befori, before i, i go to move and,nd do more things an i was able to do before if i didt have my walkfits, i'd be back in... i'd be back in, in pain. i'm most assured of that. >> thiis an incredibly good produ. i am not being paid to endorse thi i love the proct. i fe that it was a good thing to let the manacturer know how ppy i was with the product and how our patientsre happy with it, and i would tell anybody that this is theight thing r them. >> i wear orotics in my shoes every da the ct is that they've changed the way i live. i always thoughthe pain in my feet and legs were because i was overweight. more with comfort and with much less pain. >> athletes anthose who could afford them ve been using them for years. until now, they've just been too expensive. finally, there's an afrdable orthot everyone can use, so affordable that even if you own the old walkfits, u'll want the new walkfit platinums. >> wll be right back!
