Align Footwear

Align Footwear insoles have been shown to relieve foot, ankle, knee, hip, back and neck issues by correcting the heel position by means of our three planar points, for which we hold the worldwide patent.

We offer you the possibility to sign up and become an Align Footwear Sales Agent. If you are qualified and trained in the treatment of body and feet, i.e. experienced physiotherapist, foot therapist, masseur, reflexologist, posturology therapist, occupational therapist or similar come and talk to us at our stand.

Correcting the position of the feet and ankles also corrects the position of the knees, hips and spinal column – the lower back, middle back and neck – to the shoulders. When the body is aligned in a healthy and balanced position, body weight is distributed optimally, reducing the risk of inadvertent straining, twisting and jolting.

Become an agent for Align Footwear and create an opportunity for your business and offer a new service to your clients!

We ask that all standholders at the Connect Business Day:

– Offer a business to business service or product.
Priority will be given to standholders who live and/or work in South Cheltenham (as set out in our constitution) and then to those based in all of Cheltenham.
The allocation of the 22 available stands will be the final decision of the organising team and will take into account the desire to have a mixture of different business types represented on the day.
Stands will cost £45 and will be a 6ft by 2ft 6” table with space for a pop up banner and chair. It might be possible to share a stand if you think this space is too large for you.
