Meet Mark, founder of Footworx

About Footworx Orthotics Lab

I've always had an interest in feet, so when I moved to Hood River and The Columbia River Gorge in 1986, I discovered that people were bruising their heels and denting their boards while windsurfing.

I was inspired to invent a windsurfing pad called The Gorge Jumpadz and start NSI- North Shore Inc. in 1989. 

Launching from there, I developed other products for feet including foot straps and other windsurf gear. This led me to create custom footbeds for skiboots and orthotics for shoes in 1991.

I founded Footworx Orthotics to create foot alignment and shock control to help prevent injury, enhance recovery & improve sports performance. Plus, we now offer CBD Clinic Ointment for Natural Pain Relief.

Review by Scott Rowley, Hood River

"Mark from Footworx seriously changed the game for me. My ski boots have never been so comfortable as a result of implementing his custom orthotics. I was nervous that my test day was going to cause a ton of pain, but this proved to not be the case. I spent 11 1/2 hours in my boots climbing Mount Shasta and skiing 7000 vertical feet off the top. This was by far the best day I have ever had in a pair of ski boots, and I look forward to the many days that will follow.

Thanks a TON Mark! Seriously, if your booths are giving trouble or you want to improve performance give Mark a call!"

 

Review by Frans Bosman, Mosier

"I went to Mark to have my feet examined after learning about him through Angelina's Wellness by Choice. I had been experiencing some foot pain for a long time by now from being on my feet for hours at a time in my pipe organ workshop.

I was impressed with how extremely knowledgeable Mark was as I asked him questions. And I'm as picky as any Dutchman would be in these things. I'm happy to report that I have my orthotics and that I also purchased several of Mark's foot health products to nurture my feet at the end of each day!"

 

Review by Daniel Comp, Mosier

"As a lifelong outdoor sports enthusiast, I'm disappointed that I waited 62 years to get custom orthotics for my walking, running and cycling shoes and orthotic insoles for my wetsuit booties for when I windsurf and wind foil. I will also get a pair for my snowboarding boots this winter.

These are completely new experiences now that my feet are actually connected to my gear and to the ground.  Thanks for changing everything Mark!

PS - those stupid little massage balls actually work!”
