How do ALINEs align my body?

By properly suspending and supporting your foot, ALINEs allow your foot to position itself naturally. Standard footwear and insoles force your foot out of its natural position, these improper foot positions create uneven forces on your knees, hips, and body.

Can my ALINEs be transferred from shoe to shoe?

Yes. Trim your ALINEs to the shoe which is shortest in length. Also, be sure to take your ALINEs with you when you buy new shoes so you don't buy a shoe that is the wrong size and volume. Remember to remove any factory sock insoles, if needed.
