Small Business Profile: Align Custom Fit Footwear & Footcare

Canada’s 1st luxury foothealth concept!

With each pair of our feet containing 52 bones, 200+ muscles, ligaments and tendons, 66 joints (40 of which are actively articulated,) they’re the foundations for our body.

Canada’s premiere orthotics resource is found via Mississauga’s Align Custom Fit Footwear & Footcare (Align) and the wife and husband team of Teressa and Darius Dinshaw have made it their mission to get us rethinking how we look after our foothealth and providing solutions in a self-discovering and empowering way. This is just the first barrier that’s unshrouded when you visit.
Despite carrying my excess winter weight year round, having flat feet and constantly beneath my ideal step count, I’ve fortunately been spared back pain. However, as I’m fresh into my 40’s, I wanted to get an understanding of my feet, alignment and biomechanics to learn more about my feet and what I may need going forward.

Align’s unique, advanced technology and science-based approach is impressive on paper and more so in person.

My visit started with a conversation with a clinician who asked about my day to day activities and history to get a baseline of my body history.
From there, I did some light mobility tests and stretches, muscle tests, and a walking test on their catwalk and a treadmill, all part of their customized Five-Step Program.
Additionally, and impressively, Align took a 3D scan of my feet and explained in great detail what exactly I was looking at. They also took a video of my time on the treadmill to analyze my posture, how I walk, if I lean and other crucial aspects.

The attention to detail and integration of modern technology illustrates how they’ve become an industry leader.

By offering an elite experience, Align works with you to discover crucial information about your feet so they can provide the smartest long-term solution going forward. Simply put, they’re revolutionizing the way you walk.

If you need orthotics, know that what you’re receiving is custom made for only you based on their state-of-the-art scanning technology. Using a generic option can hinder more than help. Further, their unique medical perspective and it’s integration with fashion is the key when they digitally designed the device

Afterward, their team works with you to find your right piece of footwear amongst their vast fashionable and functional collection since every foot is different. From corporate to casual, they’ll find the right fit for you.

Since there’s a plethora of information provided, they smartly emailed me the information we spoke about, plus the video they took of me on the treadmill.

“We believe that attention to detail is critical and our professional team is passionate and committed to your comfort and health” says co-founder Darius.

I experienced my first Medical Pedicure via a licensed Chiropodist, complete with sterilized instruments, cuticle pushing, advanced nail cutting techniques and a detailed foot health check-up.

From body alignment, to foot type, ache and pain solutions, and genuine care, their unique experience and post-visit follow up sets them apart.
Align truly does offer a 360 degree solution for foot wear and care and with their intelligent, individual approach, this Mississauga business will enable you to always put your best foot forward.
