Greetings, I'm Brett Rodgers, inventor and massage therapist. I would like to introduce you to my incredible custom orthotics made right here in Asheville, NC. These arch supports are completely different than any you have ever seen!
Like Asheville people, they are very progressive and innovative.
My orthotics story:
Many years ago I went to a podiatrist to help me with my aching feet. He recommended orthotics. After casting my feet he created a pair of plastic, rigid orthotics. After I wore them for a few hours my feet began to ache! These hard plastic orthotics were just not natural...just not comfortable and definitely not adjustable. He tried to adjust them by shaving them down to no avail... $180 (not affordable either!) out the door and I still had sore feet! This was ten years ago! Now the chiropractors, podiatrists and doctors are getting $300-$400 for a pair of non-adjustable, plastic or foam (petroleum) orthotics.
"Hey Brett,
Thanks for sending the millet husks for my orthotics...the orthotics are so comfortable and supportive and I wear them everyday.
Thanks again!
Glenn Barclay"
"I'm very happy with them! Especially the toe stimulation...my feet feel so alive at the end of the day when I take off my shoes. Great job!
David"
"Thank you for the orthotics--I have been using them in my house shoes (I wear shoes inside because of my lift) and I've really enjoyed feeling the support. I also love that I don't have to wear socks! Awesome. I will let you know in a couple of weeks when to schedule another massage.

"About 2 weeks later my brother decided to purchase your insoles for a new pair of shoes that were irritating him. He had just spent $150 on these shoes and the support was tearing up his feet at work. After putting in your insole/supports he said he was pleasantly surprised. Your support was thinner than his previous insert and offered more support and comfort after a long day at the restaurant. He sends his many thanks!!
Sorry the email was so long, but I wanted to make a point to tell you how we feel about our purchases. In short we love them, and will continue to support you in your endeavors. Just wish you weren't so far away. We are very excited for your up coming stuff you mentioned in one of your videos too. :)
Thank you Brett for making such a wonderful product for everyone to enjoy. It is so refreshing to see someone making a living out of helping/healing or just sharing knowledge/experience without trying to be gimmicky.
Your friends in Alaska,
Jene and Travis"
Over the last seven years I have invented & developed the most wonderful, ADJUSTABLE, AFFORDABLE, NATURAL, custom orthotics right here in Asheville, NC. I am very excited to offer them to you! These orthotics are all natural, conform perfectly to your feet and unlike plastic or foam orthotics, they're adjustable to whatever amount of arch support that you need. (That amount of support changes constantly just like the seasons, because of course, you and your feet are also natural.) My Asheville orthotics are made out of durable leather and utilize a natural support mechanism (millet hulls) for your arch that can be changed as your feet adjust to the increased need for tension. That is the key to their success! Building more and more support over time makes your feet and leg muscles stronger! It also changes your posture for the better! Obviously these changes need to be gradual! With my adjustable, natural, comfortable orthotics you can start out with just a small amount of support and work your way up. These comfortable orthotics are so adjustable that you can add one teaspoon of millet hulls at a time and you will actually be able to feel the difference too!
Years of hard work!
I have spent a long time perfecting these custom orthotics so that they are durable, comfortable, and all natural (healthy). I've probably made 100 orthotics prototypes over the last six years! First I started with having a seamstress sew a pocket on top of a foam insert that I bought at the drug store! These very experimental orthotics were actually a success! In the beginning I filled them too full of buckwheat hulls and I had to reduce the arch support by about half. It was so cool to have total control over my arch support! Within days I was very excited - wanting to create a patent for my new orthotics! Soon thereafter I learned how to sew and I could make my orthotics all on my own. Initially I thought that a heavy denim would be the best material for the orthotics. Unfortunately, after wearing them for a few months I would wear a hole in the ball or heal area of the orthotics. I tried heavy hemp, silk and other strong fabrics to no avail... Then, after I moved to Asheville I decided to use leather for the orthotics. The leather did not wear out and it lasted a long, long time. For a couple of years I was really happy with the leather orthotics until I read that leather is quite toxic. I had also recently become a vegetarian and really wanted to create an Asheville orthotic that reflected my new lifestyle and mindset.
Last spring I shaved my dog Chakra and decided to take the hair out to the compost pile. When I tried to dig the hair into the dirt it didn't want to cut so I just buried it thinking that it would break down eventually. It didn't! Even months later that hair was in tact and still wouldn't cut with a shovel. That's when it dawned on me that the best custom orthotic needed to be made out of hair...sheep's hair...wool! (No, not dogs hair!) They make socks out of wool. Maybe the orthotics would be great made out of wool too! I happened to have some blue colored wool left over from a hat project. They came out great and I wore them all summer in sandals and without any socks. I had never wore sandals without socks because I like my feet to feel dry but the orthotics wicked away sweat so great that I no longer needed socks! Awesome! So now I make my North Carolina orthotics out of heavy 100% wool. Wool is so friction resistant and comfortable for the feet! I have not wore a hole in those orthotics yet and it has been almost a year. Now I'm making the arch supports out of wool that is twice as thick as the blue wool used in the beginning! The new ones are sure to last for many years. Also, you can easily wash the wool orthotics...just don't dry in the dryer or they will shrink! Hang them up to dry.
Wait, now I've discovered vegetable tanned leather! It's even more durable than wool for sure and it's very healthy and safe! You will love the veg tanned leather for years and it stretches and conforms better than any other material!
