Some styles of SOLE are on back-order and will be available in a few short weeks, at the beginning of February.

We have limited sizes available in our Thin and Metatarsal Pad stock. Thick is back to being fully stocked!

But while we impatiently await their arrival… let’s go over their benefits!

Pain Relief: helps alleviate foot pain by redistributing pressure evenly
Arch Support: their signature design supports the foot’s natural arch, preventing overpronation (rolling inward) and supination (rolling outward)
Improved Alignment + Posture: correcting foot alignment helps improve overall body posture, balance and stability
Shock Absorption: Reduce impact on your feet, great for high-impact activities or long days on your feet
Customization: They’re heat moldable, allowing them to conform to your unique foot shape for personalized support

They come in different thicknesses, depending on the activity and footwear you plan to use them with. We carry a wide variety of sizes from 3-16:

Thin: for shoes with little-to-no wiggle room, flat soled shoes, providing the same heel cup and arch support as the other thicknesses
Thick: high-impact activities, for shoes with a little more wiggle-room, work boots, hiking boots, and trainers
Medium with Metatarsal Pad: to help relieve pressure on the forefoot

Come check them out, every Tuesday 12-3
📍4723 - 50th Ave, Whitecourt

We’re always here to connect Seniors to foot care benefits they’re entitled to, so we’ve created this infographic to help navigate several different pathways. Some of these coverages are overlapping, also.

Northern Health AFC Inc. offers discounted home visit pricing to our seniors living at supportive living sites. With that in mind, let us explain:

For HOMEBOUND seniors (think long-term care, supportive living, and lodge residents, as well as clients unable to leave their homes for such services):
- With a note from your doctor, AB Blue Cross covers up to $200/year of ‘home nursing’ under which, foot care provided by a nurse, is covered.
- Additionally, seniors should enrol in the AB Senior’s Financial Assistance Program. If deemed ‘low-income’, they’ll be reimbursed $32/visit.

📣 With these 2 programs, a senior in a LTC requiring foot care will end up costing only $84/year (WITHOUT accessing the benefits, this would cost $540/year)
📣 A senior living at HOME requiring foot care will end up costing only $352/year (WITHOUT the benefits, this would cost $840/year)

The more you know, the more you save.

And the long-term benefits of nursing foot care are well-known: preventative maintenance to keep you on your feet, improved balance and stability, monitoring for negative changes and ability to update your healthcare team to promote better outcomes.

🎉 Our application to be a vendor for compression stockings through the AADL program has now been officially approved!

Now lets explain what that means for you:

The AADL (Alberta Aids to Daily Living) program is great resource for all Albertan’s to access medically necessary items. They allow many medical items to be purchased through their program like incontinence products, prosthetics, wheelchairs, and hospital beds, however - WE APPLIED AND WERE APPROVED FOR THE READY-MADE COMPRESSION WEAR ONLY. In Whitecourt, we had a pharmacy providing this service, that has since closed and the program was not available in Whitecourt… you had to travel to the city. Not ideal. But now, you can access this locally! 👏🏼

How this works:
1️⃣ Assessment: You must first be assessed by an approved health care professional to determine your basic medical needs and eligibility for the AADL program. To find an assessor, please contact your local hospital (in Whitecourt, this is facilitated through Home Care), contact AADL directly at (780)427-0731, or you can call HealthLink at 811
2️⃣ Cost Sharing: the client pay’s 25% of the amount, up to a maximum of $500/family/benefit year (July 1 - June 30)
3️⃣ Exemption: Low-income Albertans may be exempt from the $500 cost-share ($20,970 or less for a single person, $33,240 or less for a family with no children, or
$39,250 or less for a family with children.) Clients receiving income supplement benefits from other Alberta government programs may be exempt from cost-sharing, also.

Explained in compression sock terms: you need to have a medical reason for needing compression stockings (your doctor or nurse practitioner decides this), then you need to be approved by your local assessor (Whitecourt Home Care at the hospital), then you purchase the prescribed compression stockings through an approved vendor (Northern Health Advanced Foot Care Inc) - and the partial or full costs will be direct billed to AB Blue Cross.
