Davis Foot Comfort Center

I was in pain and my podiatrist diagnosed a posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. Arnie made orthotics for me that have been completely successful in correcting the problem. Both Arnie and Amy are wonderful to work with. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Top quality, attentive and thorough service.

I have been working with Arnie for nearly a year. I bought 2 pairs of non-​matching shoes, 2 orthotics, an ankle gauntlet (from another vendor), custom fitted shoe and protection for my left Achilles Tenon. I spend several hours with Arnie. Arnie was very patient with me due a speech disability and stroke my needs were complicated.
The orthotics were excellent– he actually made a mold for my foot– which I kept. I have had lots of orthotics before, which were cheaply made. His were extordinary well fitting due to the custom mold.
Amy (Arnies daughter) was extremely friendly, personal and patient. I became very frustrated at times, but Amy was calm.
My only complaint is I had to take busses or cabs, due to the location. It took between 1 ½ hours each way. I don’t drive. But it was well worth time spent with Arnie to finally get well fitting shoes!
I plan to back there for all my shoe needs!

My mom recently got her shoe in this place they have great service and they were really nice to her I honestly believe they are great people they have nice pricing too thank you David and Amy for all your work u guys made our whole family happy

Amy Davis may be the nicest person I’ve ever worked with. Patient to such a point it is bordering on silly.
Works with me and the halfwits at the workers comp insurance company… which would drive most people to homicidal thoughts or a serious bout of drinking in the morning.
Amy handles all of it with grace and style.
The Gold Standard for customer service.

I never write reviews but I experienced exceptional service from Arnie and Amy. I brought in my favorite pair of boots over the winter holidays to be completely resoled. I’d worn the soles completely through so that my socks were showing. Arnie had an employee quit on him unexpectedly so he had to have the boots contracted out to be redone. It was a tough repair and the contractor botched it. I was dismayed: the boots looked terrible, were now too large for me to wear, and I was out a couple hundred bucks.
It was important to Arnie that he fix the situation. He ended up taking the measure of my feet and remaking the boots completely to custom fit my feet, all for free the second time around. I was astonished and so grateful that it was important to him to make things right. My boots are now perfect and I even have a custom wooden mold of my feet for the future.
Arnie, thank you for going above and beyond to make a happy customer. You are detail oriented, down to earth, a real craftsman and one of the reasons that I’m proud to call the little beach town in the outer sunset around the N-​Judah my home base.
Highly recommended.

Had an initial consult about a month ago. I found the person who helped me to be very caring and thorough. He offered me lots of options and explained them patiently. They can do things that I could not find anywhere else in the bay area. Highly recommend a visit.

Super happy with everything. I was having bad shin splints after increasing my exercise. I wanted to be more healthy, but the pain was getting in the way. I went for a consult and Arnie spotted that I had corrected club feet (which I had forgotten.) He designed and made inserts that would help position my feet better. After getting the inserts and going through a few adjustments I’m absolutely thrilled. They were a pleasure to work with: very accommodating about schedules, skilled craftsman, family owned small business and great customer service. I’m going to get a few more inserts made in the near future.

I have been going to Davis Foot Comfort Center for over 25 years. Arnie Davis, the owner, and his daughter Amy who works the front area are there almost every day they are open.
I have had shoes custom made, off the shelf shoes customized and orthotic shoes customized, I have my daily shoes made there and even had sandals customized so I could go river rafting.
Arnie will do what it takes to get the job done. Because his shoes are customized the prices reflect that as does the time involved to get it right. You will be sized and asked how you wear the shoes and other pertinent info about your needs. Your shoes will then be made/​customized and then you will come back for a fitting. Then your shoes may be fine tuned for you even more. It is quite an impressive process! But is it ever worth it in when your are walking down the city street with your partner, keeping up the pace and without pain!
If you have foot issues so bad they cause you pain when you walk and your life is affected, go to Davis Foot Comfort Center.

I tried to buy some inserts at another shoe store, but they told me if i had an imbalance to go to this place. I put it off and put it off because I didn’t have insurance and didn’t have a lot of money. Looking back, why did I wait? They were very helpful and the price was reasonable. I had already figured out that i had a 1 inch imbalance. They helped me figure out a solution that worked for me and after testing it, i cam back and they made me two shoe inserts that are terrific and have really lasted.
I know it’s probably the nature of the business, people bonking their shoes, bodies into the cubicles, but it could use a touch up of paint.
The people who work here really care and can help. They are reasonably priced and very friendly. I will continue to use them and highly recommend them.

I had some issues with my service at Daïs shoes last year. I believe beginning of December Arnie Davis called me and he invited me back to his shop. When I met Arnie, he was so nice and he assured me that he was going to help me. Arnie was so helpful and from service stand point of you he went beyond any thing that you can imagine. He resoles my shoes and adjusts the orthodox and most important he replaced the shoes which I had issues with it.
Arnie is so knowledgeable of his field and that he made me so comfortable and he said he would do anything to minimize my pain.
I defiantly would recommend Davis shoe and if you have any issues ask for Arnie, I guaranty you he will take care of it.

I’ve been going to Davis Shoe since the early 70’s. I had polio as a child and walk w/​a fused left knee and a leg length difference — I used to walk like a drunken sailor. Arnie Davis made my first pair of boots, with a brace inside and it was a life changer. I was able to wear clothes I liked not to mention walking w/​ease. Although I haven’t lived in SF for over 20 years I STILL go there to have my shoes made. I am always grateful for Arnie’s artistic eye, kind and gentle heart and awesome patience in creating shoes — I know he works that way with all his clients. If you have any foot issues — give them a call.

I’ve received extraordinary care and service from Davis Foot Comfort Center. In the 1980s or 1990s I went there to get custom orthotic inserts and got great care. I returned in September 2010 to order custom support boots because my foot problems have become more severe and complicated. Although I had not been there in years, they were welcoming and remembered my issues from years ago. My podiatrist had a phone conversation with Arnie Davis, the owner and founder, before my visit, and a wonderful pair of beautiful custom leather boots were then made for me. My collapsed foot has not been this comfortable in a decade!
I’ve had two adjustment appointments since then (as I said, my feet are complicated), and will need another, and they been very accommodating, to the point of graciously seeing me on a day I appeared when they did not expect me until the next day!
Arnie Davis, in addition to being skilled and talented, has a gentle, caring manner and a great sense of humor. When I was in recently, I witnessed his interactions with a young boy and his mom, and thought how lucky that mom was to have such a fun and competent professional as Arnie caring for her son. Arnie was being playful and providing age-​appropriate information at the same time he was addressing the foot problems.
Amy, the receptionist, knows her job in and out, and does it with unfailing graciousness and good cheer. Greg Chello, the pedorthic clinician who has also been helping me, is knowledgeable, communicative and friendly. He has been very helpful.
I have recommended Davis Foot Comfort Center (formerly Davis Shoe Therapeutics) to people for many years, and continue to do so with a renewed enthusiasm due to my recent return to their fine establishment. Hard to beat an independent business run with expertise and caring good will!

This is the best place, Arnie has saved me! I was born without a hip and the worst clubbed feet ever. My feet were always tired and in pain. Arnie can figure out adjustments better than any orthopedic doctor I’ve ever been to, he’s amazing. His daughters now work in the office and they’re lovely; smart, friendly and helpful. Amy at the front desk is perfect for the job!
When your feet hurt you just can’t be nice. Arnie has kept me smiling and I wonder if I’d even be able to walk without my custom made shoes. I’ve had shoes made elsewhere (a bit cheaper) but they weren’t nearly as good and wore out much faster. Worth every penny!

Old school and out of date. I got some $ 600+ orthotics from Davis and they didn’t solve my foot problems. After 3 adjustments and refusal to do more, they tried to sell me some $ 280 shoes at a discount (and with the discount was still 20% more than other retailers). I went to a place out of state who solved my feet problems with tailored orthotics that cost ¼ the price, took ¹⁄₁₀^th the time and worked great. Avoid Davis.

Huge fan of Arnie Davis — total rock star in the orthopedics world! Not even the founder of STS makes a fiberglass foot cast as perfect as Arnie does.
I am currently working with Arnie on a line of custom orthopedic shoes for my company. If anything, that is my utmost compliment to him. :)

As an avid runner I thought that foot pain just came along with the territory. I know now that it really shouldn’t. I was referred to Davis Foot Comfort Center by a friend to get custom orthotics. The whole staff is friendly and professional. My clinician really listened and worked to get everything perfect and has helped me run pain-​free. I highly recommend the Davis Foot Comfort Center to anyone who has foot pain whether it is from running or a chronic condition.
