"Dear Arnie and Greg and all staff, I want to thank you for the many years of excellent service and attention that you gave my husband. He died August 30, completely unexpectedly, of a heart attack in his sleep.
Your shoes changed his life, from the first pair to the last. I'll never forget our first excursion after the first pair. He had a grand time walking around Monterey bay Aquarium, to the point that I had to ask to sit for a few minutes rest. He was finally able to enjoy national parks, museums, and even dancing like a crazy person on New Years Eve. I have been grateful all these years for your shoes, and I wanted to say farewell and heartfelt thanks. Should I need special shoes, I'll be right up! The best to all of you."

"I have been going to Davis Shoe Therapeutics for over 20 years and cannot say enough about the quality and comfort of the shoes, and the friendly helpful service I always receive. I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and my feet are quite deformed, but Arnie, the extraordinary master of all shoe designers, and his incredible staff have always been able to make shoes for me that were not only perfect for my feet, but stylish as well! As a corporate consultant, looks are important to me, and I have always been amazed at what Davis Shoe can do. In the world of orthopedics, Arnie Davis is famous. I have been to several of the best surgeons around the country, and they all know him, trust his judgment, and praise his work. I feel so fortunate and deeply grateful to everyone at Davis Shoe for helping me over all these years. I couldn't walk without them."

"My job requires me to be on my feet all day, so I needed something to help prevent the pain I was having in both my feet and hips. I had tried the generic shoe inserts from Walgreens, but they did nothing. I found this cute place in the outer Sunset District that set me up an appointment with a Certified Pedorthist. During my appointment, he evaluated my feet and watched me walk. It turns out that I have a slight leg-length discrepancy. They said that I would benefit from some custom orthotics that had a lift on them, so I had my Physician fax an RX to them. Once my orthotics were ready, they called me for a fitting appointment, (I thought this was great! They didn't just hand them to me and send me on my way. They wanted to see if the orthotics were going to do what they were meant to do.) So, at my visit I tried them on and I felt immediate relief. NO MORE PAIN!! The staff was amazing. They listened, were informative, and most of all seemed to genuinely care about their customers. Highly recommended!"

"Thank you again for the wonderful service you have provided for myself and my dad (Hadley)! I seem to have a new stride - in life too! My "old self" is slowly gaining confidence about getting along again. I really have no pain; I can just sense what muscles need help in getting strong again. I even played tennis last weekend - I haven't done that in almost a decade!! I must admit, I only enjoy wearing the shoes and inserts from you all.
I am VERY GRATEFUL - Thank you so much for your expertise and wonderful company. I look forward to letting you know more of my success as I continue to regain my "footing"!
Yes, I was in a bit of despair for the last few years, not quite ready for surgery (hip replacement). These visits, fittings, I know can maintain my situation and keep me pain free!! I'm just ready to get my life back. And I owe a big part of this to you all. Again, thank you!"

"I was referred by my Insurance Provider and am very pleased with the outcome of my custom shoes. The pedorthist that was working with me was very knowledgeable about my problem and showed me exercises that I should do to help me with the pain I was having. He also introduced me to some great socks specifically for diabetics."

"This letter is written to express my deep appreciation to you for your efforts in making me the most comforitable shoes I have ever had. Words alone cannot express my gratitude. I can actually walk without pain. Everyone tells me how much better I walk.
I would also like to thank Arnie for allowing Greg to do "his thing". Having been self-employed myself I know the concerns the owner has behind the scene. The rest of the staff is also to be commended for their never-failing patience with customers like me.
Davis Shoes has a wonderful staff. I cannot say enough good things about your service and the overall happy atmosphere you generate. People actually compliment me on the shoes and I always give you a glowing recommendation. Don't ever change.
I am so thankful for these shoes."

Q. Do I have to make an appointment?
Yes. Appointments assure you of getting the personal attention you deserve.
Q. Will this be really expensive?
There are many options to choose from, and the right one is one that also fits your budget. Shoe modifications and over-the-counter devices are the least expensive alternatives. Custom-made shoes can be affordable, too; however, custom-made shoes from scratch are usually the most expensive.
Q. How long will it take?
Production times vary depending upon the influx of orders we receive and the complexity of your particular order, so it is difficult to predict how long it may take.
Q. Do you guarantee your work?
The nature of comfort is subjective, and therefore, so are the results. We do, however, guarantee to make an improvement in your comfort and to fill your prescription correctly. Our goal is to make sure your experience with us is a positive one.
