FootID. What’s in your shoes?

Launching 2027

Your patients know their shoe size. FootID shows you their foot, their body and the way they move.

“If I were in your shoes.”

For centuries the phrase has meant someone’s position, perspective and life. Every patient who walks into your clinic stands in their own. No one else stands the way they do.

Uniquely theirs.

  1. Lower back.
  2. Hips.
  3. Femur.
  4. Knee.
  5. Tibia.
  6. Ankle.
  7. Subtalar joint.
  8. Midtarsal joint.
  9. Metatarsals.
  10. Hallux.
  11. Lesser toes.
  12. All relative to each other.

That is their FootID

Every bone, tendon and ligament, the anterior, posterior, medial and lateral muscle groups, and the way they move together. No two patients share the same combination. Your assessment should reflect that.

A shoe size is the size of a shoe.

It’s often all a patient knows about their feet. It measures length and sometimes width. It says nothing about the arch, how the heel sits under the leg, or how the joints move under load.

Shoe size

  • Length
  • Width

FootID

  • 3D foot shape
  • Joint range of motion
  • Alignment, hip to toe
  • How it all moves

Your patients know their blood type. Do they know their FootID?

They track food sensitivities, sleep and heart rate. Cyclists count grams. Car enthusiasts argue about oil. Patients are ready for the same curiosity about how they move. That conversation starts in your clinic.

  1. 1950s

    Dr. Merton L. Root develops the functional orthotic, decades before functional health had a name.

  2. 1971

    Clinical Examination of the Foot and, in 1977, Normal and Abnormal Function of the Foot establish clinical biomechanics.

  3. Today

    BIQ turns the Root exam into a standardized 5 to 7 minute assessment, and FootID Pro brings it to your clinic.

Assess every patient like a pro athlete.

Elite athletes are assessed, then matched to equipment built around their bodies. FootID gives every patient in your clinic the same process, whether the goal is performance or recovery.

Runners on a rocky mountain trail

Perform.

Understand whether a patient’s mechanics favor forward motion like running and cycling, or lateral moves like tennis and basketball, and match their equipment to it.

Commuters walking on wet city pavement

Recover.

Most overuse injuries have a mechanical story. Plantar heel pain, shin splints, knee and hip pain often start elsewhere in the chain. Assessing mechanics lets you treat the cause, not only the symptom.

36%
Balance

Fewer falls in older adults on a podiatry program that included foot orthoses.

Spink et al., BMJ, 2011

Heel

Orthoses improved function in plantar heel pain compared with sham insoles.
