Historically, the Soft-Step Foot Corrector was designed and developed in Germany over 35 years ago by George Alzner who researched and studied the dynamics of the feet for twenty years before making the arches, formerly known as Alzners. Then in 1962 the arches became available in the United States.
In the late 1970's Step Forward began manufacturing the arches in Seattle, Washington. At this time, new molds were made which included major changes and corrections. Step Forward was established in 1974 by Roxanne Kimber and Dave Arnett. Mrs. Kimber experienced severe back and shoulder problems and could only attain relief through the use of the Alzner orthotic.

The arches of the foot are formed by the combination of the bone and muscle structure. They consist of three arches, the longitudinal, metatarsal, and medial-arch. The largest and best known of the foot's arches is the medial arch, which forms the hollow at the palm of the foot. Most sport shoes have a medial foam arch.
Painful heels, calluses, hammertoes, cramps, sore legs, sore feet, corns, back aches and bunions are only the symptoms of bigger problems. Hard surfaces, improper footwear, old age and gravity are the major factors that lead to structural malfunction of the musculoskeletal system. When foot posture is incorrect the entire body structure is incorrect.
