TFC SoleMate

The bag is a good size for holding the parts of the kit that come with it and for holding groceries if you want to use it for that instead. The design leaves a bit to be desired.

TFC SoleMate

I like my set. I use it almost every day. My husband uses the small roller for his feet which amazingly helps his circulation. I didn't think I'd like the bag but it actually came in handy to carry it and other things to the exercise room of the hotel while on a trip.

The Sole Mate is a fabulous device. I'm glad I purchased it... but... I think it's way over priced. Both of the main pieces are cork not some handmade item. The large one is likely pressed cork. The bands are exactly the same ones I can purchase elsewhere. In fact, I have a MELT set that has the same bands in it. The hacky sack is $1 at the dollar store and they're making a profit on it. Nothing in this set is expensive in nature yet it's priced at just $11 under $100! Why is that?

Trying to make a large profit by overcharging is a bad business practice as is charging more because of a perceived 'benefit'. It's the same mentality as charging $250 for a pill that costs 10 cents to produce. It's all greed. No one likes that and it's unjust. Just because I may have the money to pay for it doesn't mean anyone has the right to charge me that. Despite what the movie says, greed is NOT good and it comes with a curse. $89 is just a way to make me feel better about paying $90 (nearly $100!) and it's way too much. Even $65 would be high but at least it doesn't border on usury. Though it's not a 'loan' it's the same motivation: unjustly lining one's own pockets regardless of what it does to the other person.

There's nothing at all bad about working hard to make money and God's not against it. He blesses that. What He's against is robbing my neighbor in order to make more than what is equitable because I want to be rich. That motivation is sparked by the love of money, not the desire to help people. I removed a star for that.

Great service and a great product. I have already noticed the difference in how my arches feel and my balance.

I developed a Morton’s Neuroma as a result of a short ultramarathonning career. After a 100 mile race last November, I lost feeling in a couple of toes and a decent chunk of my right foot. As the nerves started to come back online after a couple of months, they burned. Then it felt like I had a marble under my skin while made it nearly impossible to run. As it turns out, the nerve had become “angry” and swollen and started developing scar tissue around it. You could actually feel the limp with your fingers. A podiatrist gave me B12 injections into the area, but it wasn’t helping much, at least not immediately. So I invested in one of the foot kits with the cork balance beam, and the small roller, and the tow bands, and the spreaders. I’ve been using this setup to stretch for a couple of weeks now, and that, in combination with some wide-toe-box shoes, is really making a significant difference in my life. I was pretty dubious about this at first, but the cost of the gear compared with the cost of a single trip to the podiatrist was fairly compelling, and I’m an “experiment of one” kind of person. I’ll try anything once, pretty much. Anyhow, I’m really pleased. If I had to guess, I think I could be back to running in a month. I wish I had discovered TFC sooner… and, of course, the switch to wide toe-box shoes as well.
