In-Step

In-Step is a family owned and operated business that opened in August of 2009 in the Table Mesa Shopping Center in Boulder, CO. InStep sells sport accessories, active footwear and apparel for walkers, runners and anyone that enjoys a little extra support and comfort in their day to day functions. The specialty of In-Step is the fabrication of custom made insoles, also known as orthotics or foot supports. Unlike other similar types of products, In-Steps custom insoles are specific to the individual. We can take a mold of your foot and build the insole while you wait. Estimated time is between 30 to 45 minutes. There is no follow up appointment needed, unless you are needing an adjustment, which is at no additional charge!

DO I NEED AN INSOLE? This is the ultimate question. If you experience foot, knee, hip or low back pain with any sort of activity then you might be a candidate. If you are questioning whether this might be an option for you, simply schedule a time for a free analysis and we can assist you by seeing how your feet hit the ground while standing, walking or running. This simple 2 minute test, along with our years of experience, will tell you whether this is a product for you or not.
