ACA ENDORSES OKABASHI FOOT THERAPY SHOES Arlington, Va.
(January 9, 2006) — The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) is pleased to announce its non-exclusive endorsement of Okabashi's line of foot therapy shoes (okabashi.com).
Tested by a panel of ACA representatives, Okabashi shoes are designed to promote correct weight distribution and support, and feature an anatomically correct, therapeutically contoured insole with beaded surfaces at the instep and toes.
"Because footwear plays such an important role in the functional biomechanics of the human body, choosing the right shoe can help eliminate pain in your back, hips, knees and feet," explains ACA President Richard G. Brassard, DC. "Okabashi's product line provides wearers with a shoe that is designed for comfort and support at a very affordable price."
"The endorsement from ACA means a lot to our company since we designed our shoes to alleviate the type of back, leg and foot pain that plague people seeking chiropractic services," said Bahman Irvani, president and CEO of Okabashi Brands, Inc. "We feel that doctors of chiropractic will be excited to offer a comfort shoe to their patients that is both cost-effective and long-lasting."
The ACA chose to endorse Okabashi shoes because of their:
- Foot support and massaging comfort
- Durability and flexibility
- Water and slip resistance on wet and dry surfaces
- Use of Micro-Check, an antimicrobial agent, which keeps shoes dry and repels stain and other deterioration
- Affordability
Okabashi shoes are available for purchase in a range of colors and styles, including flip flops, casual slides, mid-heel sandals and clogs. Available sizes range from 5.5 to 11 for women, and from 5.5 to 13 for men. Okabashi products are available online at www.okabashi.com or at select retail stores including some Walgreens, CVS/pharmacy, Rite Aid, and Osco Drug locations.
