Supporting foot health is at the core of what we do. Stan’s Shoes offers tools, products, and services designed to reduce pain and help you move more comfortably.
Every Stan’s Shoes location features a state-of-the-art Aetrex foot scanner. In about 15 seconds, the scanner measures pressure points, arch height, and foot dimensions. From there, our team provides personalized shoe and insole recommendations based on your unique needs.
