Ready for the Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon? THIS Guy Is!

April 16, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Today we’re exactly one month away from the Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon and Half Marathon. Are you ready? Josh Barto is!

Josh, a self-described “running nut,” has been with Foot Levelers for over 8 years and has done a little bit of everything here.  Today he works in Foot Levelers’ Modifications Department (we call it “Mods”; it just sounds cooler)—meaning if your custom orthotics arent’s absolutely perfect, Josh is one of the guys who will be working his tail off to make sure they get perfect. Josh is just as tenacious with his running: if you live in our beautiful Southwest Virginia mountain town, chances are you’ve seen him burning up the local trails or competing in one of the area’s numerous athletic events. read more

Happy Anniversary, Yo!

We delivered complimentary custom orthotics to our friends in the Roanoke City Fire & EMS department last week. One-hundred and sixty-five of our hometown heroes will be product testing a new Foot Levelers orthotic top cover, designed for the toughest jobs and lifestyles!

We’re looking forward to their feedback. We’ll also be examining how the orthotics are wearing at 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days. Stay tuned for updates!

The results are in!

America’s Toughest Road Marathon just keeps getting bigger, with 2,507 registered runners–an 11% increase over last year; 600 volunteers, a brand new (official) double marathon, 10 non-profit race beneficiaries, plus runners hailing from 43 states and nine countries.

Even though warnings of severe weather forced organizers to cancel the event about five hours in, reviews were glowing (thanks, folks!).

Runner Elizabeth R. Bain of California said this about the race in The Roanoke Times: “What really made this course shine (besides the gorgeous views from the tops of the mountains)? YOU, Roanoke! From the volunteers handing out bibs and shirts at packet pick-up, to the mimosa ‘aid station,’ to the guy driving the bus where I took my DNF [did not finish], everyone was so kind and friendly! Even though I’m a slow, back-of-the-pack runner, every aid station had cheers and cowbells and plenty of aid station supplies for me.” read more
