The collaboration combines advanced foot scanning technology, customized support solutions, and Under Armour footwear integration to help student-athletes optimize performance, comfort, and long-term wellness

Aetrex, Inc. (“Aetrex”), a global market leader in foot scanning technology and data-driven orthotics and comfort footwear, today announced the launch of its new children’s foot scanning technology, Tootsie™. Available within the software of Aetrex’s premium 3D foot scanner, Albert 2 Pro, the program features a friendly monster named Tootsie who guides children through the foot scanning process in a fun and educational way. With each foot scan, the software provides comprehensive and accurate 3D foot measurements and a recommended shoe size. Available now, the new software is gaining momentum in over 1,000 retail doors in the U.S., including Tradehome and select DSW stores. They have recently implemented Tootsie with the goal to provide a fun and easy shoe shopping experience for both children and their parents, while driving traffic and customer loyalty.

A recent study found that Aetrex Premium Memory Foam Orthotics, both with and without metatarsal support, are clinically proven to reduce common sources of pain (i.e., back, foot, hip, knee and ankle pain) and the fear of falling for seniors. While both orthotic types reduced pain and fear of falling, researchers concluded that the orthotics with a metatarsal pad perform better because the metatarsal pad and its prominence under the forefoot provide improved awareness of body position to aid balance.
