About Us
Ideal Feet is a brand that has been around for more than 30 years. Ernest Wallace acquired the brand and has since spent years building, managing, and perfecting the business model and operating structure to provide a one-stop shop for customers to satisfy their often overlooked insole needs. Ernest officially re-launched the brand in San Antonio, opening the location in April of 2015. Ideal Feet now has an operating prototype, but also has operational wisdom from five satellite locations throughout Texas and Oklahoma.
Orthotic insoles have been proven to provide relief from chronic pain. Whether you suffer from back pain, hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, bunions or calluses, Ideal Feel has an inventory of over 25 styles of arch supports in more than 300 sizes to help you get relief in a matter of minutes.
Ideal Feet offers free fitting, so you can be sure your soles fit just the way they should. Our professionals are here to consult with you and find a solution to your chronic pain. We guarantee our custom orthotics for a lifetime protecting your investment in pain management today and tomorrow.

Territories
An exclusive franchise territory is generally considered a major selling point. Ideal Feet will be offering exclusive territories to their franchisees as one of the key benefits to early adopters.
Exclusive territories can offer a competitive advantage in the franchise sales and marketing environment. As a result, Ideal Feet will be granting its franchisees an exclusive territory. The territory will include a defined area and will generally be documented as a 50,000-100,000 population center or a 3-mile radius from the location, whichever is less.
Territories will be mapped based on the individual market circumstances for each unit sold. We will map out an area based on market research and the most recent available census data to come to territory modeling conclusions.
