Poor website, I could not edit the shoe size or order from the page with the photo of the item... it kept only giving me the option of taking a quiz, i.e. there wasn't an "add to cart". I tried this several times closing the browser and coming back.

Hard to talk to customer service
It was difficult to know if I placed my order correctly and you cannot talk with customer service. You get a message to leave a message and they will call you back. They did however feel free to take my money immediately!

All I did was order
All I did was order, I can not give any positive feedback til I actually have the insoles in my shoes and wear them for a couple weeks.

Hi! We would never ask you to review our product prematurely. It all begins with the care you receive while purchasing your orthotics and while the orthotics are being designed. Your survey is for the service you received, not the product. You may review the orthotics on your own time, but it is not necessary. Thank you again!

Long Refund (Final Update)
I’ll update this review once they process my refund. Similar to what other reviews have mentioned, I waited a while to get my first pair of custom insoles and I understand as I had to ship them back the mold. They tried to provide relief, and it didn’t work as intended after some remakes to the point they offered a refund. They asked me to ship back the orthotics which I did and it was delivered to them July 3rd. Their refund time is supposedly 7-10 business days and they asked me to send my bank information to wire back the money which I did on July 6th. Their website on the support page states the following, “ Not to worry, our satisfaction-guaranteed policy means you can either request a redo or get a full refund, no questions asked and no supporting proof required.” It has been 10 business days and I’m still waiting. Have I been scammed? We’ll see. And if anyone reading this doesn’t see the one star on the review change, it speaks volumes of the ethics of this company.
Update: I emailed and a supervisor replied to me on July 18th, that it should be within a few days. I emailed on July 21st for an update and I was told my refund should be either tomorrow (today technically, July 24th) or in a few days. I do hope I get the refund this week because this wait time has been ridiculously lengthy
Final Update: On July 26th, I was asked to review a wire template to confirm all details are correct and I replied to them the same day (it was correct). Later on the 26th, I was told the confirmation will be given to the finance department. On the 27th, the refund was given.
Final thoughts:
They tried helping me, but I couldn’t achieve the relief I wanted. Based on the brand and reputation, it isn’t the worst idea to give them a shot for orthotics. But at the same time, the refund process took over a month for me. So if you don’t mind risking it, go ahead. Otherwise, I recommend saving up money to get medical attention in person.
I changed my initial one star review to a three star review, as the refund was processed.

Hello, based on the information provided with your review, we cannot locate your order or contact information. We do NOT ask for bank information unless there has been unsuspecting circumstances where we are trying to provide your refund to you to other forms of payment by the customers request. This process may take longer than a normal refund. Please email us at [email protected] with your inquiry subjected ATTN: Kirsten. This will be escalated directly to a supervisor. Thank you

Now being told that I will have to wait 2 months for mt order
Now being told that I will have to wait 2 months from the time that I placed my order. Also keep getting offers to buy more insoles at a reduced price whichni feel is a bait and switch offer

Hi Bruce- your impression kit was received on 5/17/2023 and your orthotics were designed, produced and shipped by 6/5/2023. That was only 12 business days. One of our customer care representatives has emailed you the tracking information to your orthotics. Thank you.

Is anyone else experiencing longer than…
Is anyone else experiencing longer than stated delays in their orders ? I was told 23 business days and I’m currently on day 34. Also, is the product worth the time waiting (and pain I’m still in which was the reason I had ordered these to begin with) or should I ask for a refund ?
Response from Upstep Custom OrthoticsMar 6, 2023
Is our product worth the wait? YES! While we may be experiencing a delay now, once we have your impression on file we keep it for 5 years. That means you get to order custom orthotics from home for a fraction of the cost and the next time around, its even easier!

Special offer was misleading.
Basic purchase process was OK until you offered second pair for $99. I accepted and then was presented with an entirely new questionnaire as if I was a new customer. Dutifully started to fill it out and got a message that I had to go back to check out since amount had changed. Basically putting me into an endless “do loop” with the added insult of being showing the price for two orders and no discount. I bailed out and found a confirming email for one pair so gave up on the special $99 deal.

Hello Mike, one of our customer service representatives has contacted you about this. We are very sorry for the website experience you had. There are a number of factors here and until we speak with you, it is hard to address. From what we understand, you wanted a second pair but did not want to fill out the questionnaire again. You only need to fill out the questionnaire a second time if the second pair of orthotics are for somebody else in your household. Otherwise, changing the quantity in your cart to (2) pairs would have done the trick!
