A 30-Year-Old Bridal Designer’s Journey to Foot Health | How Custom Insoles Relieved Linda’s Persistent Discomfort

Today, we’re sharing the story of our client Linda, a 30-year-old bridal designer whose work requires long hours of standing, often for 3-4 hours at a stretch. Over time, this continuous strain began to take a toll, especially on her lower back, leaving her with persistent pain that affected her focus and productivity. Though Linda tried resting and massages, nothing seemed to fully relieve her discomfort.


Linda’s Foot Condition

During her foot assessment, we discovered that Linda was experiencing heel eversion, a condition where her heels tilted outward, placing uneven pressure on her feet. This imbalance had led to significant hallux valgus (bunions), impacting her stance and walking. Over time, the strain on her body from her feet led to pelvic tilt and uneven shoulders, further aggravating her lower back and upper body pain.


After long hours of standing, Linda’s heel eversion became pronounced, leading to bunions and uneven weight distribution across her feet.


Hallux Valgus (Bunions)

As her foot condition worsened, Linda’s bunion symptoms became more visible. The outward misalignment of her big toes not only impacted her walking comfort but also risked causing further foot problems over time.



Due to the outward tilt of her heels, Linda’s bunions worsened, affecting both her foot aesthetics and comfort while walking.


Discovering KakiJoy’s Custom InsolesLinda was introduced to KakiJoy’s custom insole service through a friend. After a detailed assessment and a thorough foot biomechanics analysis, we designed a pair of personalized corrective insoles specifically tailored to address her heel eversion, pelvic tilt, and alignment concerns. The goal was to restore balance and alleviate pressure, helping Linda stand more comfortably and reduce her back pain.


The Impact of Wearing Custom InsolesOnce Linda started wearing her custom KakiJoy insoles, she noticed an immediate difference. Her stance felt significantly more stable, and her lower back discomfort eased noticeably. She found she could now work without needing to take breaks as often, with increased energy and focus. This newfound comfort and freedom brought a sense of ease to her work life and improved her overall quality of life.

Linda’s journey underscores the critical role that foot health plays in maintaining overall body alignment and comfort. Many people with foot issues may not realize how much these imbalances affect their bodies. If you or someone you know is experiencing similar challenges, consider a professional foot assessment and custom insoles to improve quality of life and health. Start your journey to better foot health, and experience the lasting comfort it can bring.
