PowerStep

PowerStep is a U.S. orthotics and footcare brand focused on podiatrist-designed prefabricated insoles, orthotic footwear, ankle supports, compression products, and related accessories for pain relief and prevention. The brand was founded by podiatrist Dr. Les Appel and is best known for arch-supporting insoles used for common foot and lower-extremity conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel pain, overpronation, and metatarsalgia. PowerStep operates as a brand within Foundation Wellness, which designs, manufactures, and distributes multiple foot-health and wellness products. Most PowerStep insoles are designed and produced in Wadsworth, Ohio, and the business emphasizes clinician recommendation, U.S. manufacturing, and large-scale commercial distribution. For a healthcare analyst, PowerStep is best understood as a commercially established orthotics and consumer medical-products brand rather than a therapeutics developer.
