Feet Without Pain: Changing Lives, Eliminating Pain
In 2009, when the company was founded, Thomas A. Case, an American businessman and the founder of Feet Without Pain, experienced debilitating foot pain and issues. The orthopedic insoles available in the Brazilian market at that time were handmade and lacked precision.
Dissatisfied with the options available, Case sought a solution for his foot problems in the international market. This search led him to the idea of bringing the best technology for orthopedic insole production to Brazil, aiming to provide the Brazilian people with something that could truly transform their lives.
Case embarked on a journey to Europe, visiting 14 companies across 6 different countries. Today, Feet Without Pain stands as the largest orthopedic insole company in Brazil, offering top-quality 3D technology for insole manufacturing. Customers who choose Feet Without Pain become part of a story that includes a comprehensive evaluation of the foot, ankle, and knee, conducted by specialists trained by the company. Moreover, Feet Without Pain products come with a 90-day guarantee. If the customer does not adapt to the insoles, Feet Without Pain will refund their money!
With a strong commitment to improving the lives of their customers, Feet Without Pain continues to innovate and provide cutting-edge solutions for foot health and comfort. Join us on this journey and experience the transformative power of Feet Without Pain.
