About Weber Orthopedics

42 Years of Helping People Walk Without Pain

My name is Dr. Robert Weber, and for over four decades, I've dedicated my life to one simple mission: helping people walk comfortably again.

How It All Began

I opened my podiatry practice in Portland, Oregon in 1982, fresh out of medical school with a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from Temple University. Like most young doctors, I was eager to help patients and confident that modern medicine had all the answers.

But after a few years in practice, I noticed something troubling.

Patients would come to me with plantar fasciitis, bunions, arthritis, and chronic foot pain. I'd treat them — cortisone injections, custom orthotics, physical therapy — and they'd feel better. For a while.

Then they'd return. Same pain. Same problems.

It took me years to realize the truth: I was treating symptoms, not the root cause.

The Problem Nobody Was Talking About

The real problem wasn't just their feet. It was their shoes.

Every day, my patients walked out of my clinic wearing the very footwear that had caused their problems in the first place — narrow toe boxes that squeezed their toes, rigid soles that forced unnatural gait patterns, poor arch support that stressed their joints.

I could prescribe all the treatments in the world, but if they kept wearing shoes designed for fashion instead of function, they'd never truly heal.

That's when I made a decision that would define the next 40 years of my career.

Building Something Better

Starting in the early 1990s, I began designing my own orthopedic footwear.

Not flashy. Not trendy. Just medically sound sandals that addressed the root causes of foot pain:

Wide toe boxes to let toes spread naturally
Medical-grade EVA footbeds that adapt to swollen or sensitive feet
Proper arch support for natural alignment
Non-slip soles for stability and confidence

I worked with orthopedic manufacturers, tested dozens of prototypes, and refined the designs based on direct feedback from my patients. Every adjustment was driven by one question: "Will this actually help people walk without pain?"

By the early 2000s, these sandals had become my primary recommendation for patients with chronic foot conditions. I tracked the results carefully:

87% of patients reported significant pain reduction within 3-8 weeks
Patients with plantar fasciitis saw the fastest improvement
Many avoided surgeries they thought were inevitable

Word spread. Other podiatrists began referring their patients to me, not for treatment, but for the sandals themselves.

Why I'm Closing My Practice

I'm 78 years old now. My hands aren't as steady as they once were, and after 42 years, it's time to retire.

I don't have children to pass the practice to. My wife passed away three years ago, and truthfully, the empty office feels lonelier every day.

But here's my problem: I'm sitting on nearly 10,000 pairs of these clinical-grade sandals in my warehouse.

These aren't just shoes to me. Each pair represents years of research, patient feedback, and refinement. They've helped thousands of people walk without pain, avoid unnecessary surgeries, and reclaim their mobility.

The thought of selling them to a liquidator for pennies on the dollar — watching them end up in some discount bin next to cheap knockoffs — makes me sick.

One Last Thing I Can Do

So I made a decision.

For the first time in 42 years, I'm offering these sandals directly to the public. Not at my practice price of $149.95. Not even at wholesale cost.

At exactly what it costs me to store and ship them: $59.95 per pair.

My warehouse lease ends March 31st, 2026. After that date, whatever inventory remains goes to liquidators, and this opportunity disappears forever.

I'd rather see these sandals help people than make me a profit. I've spent my whole career watching people suffer from preventable foot pain. If I can help a few thousand more people before I close my doors for good, that's a legacy I can be proud of.

What My Patients Say

"Dr. Weber's sandals changed my life. After 8 years of unbearable heel pain, I'm finally walking without agony."
— Margaret T., Age 63, Plantar Fasciitis

"My podiatrist was actually impressed when I showed him these. He said they're better than most custom orthotics he prescribes."
— Jennifer D., Age 59, Metatarsalgia

"I bought three pairs after my first order. I wear them every single day."
— Linda B., Age 56, Flat Feet

Clinical-Grade Quality at Liquidation Prices

These are the same sandals I've been prescribing to patients for over 20 years:

✓ Medical-Grade EVA Footbed — Soft, breathable, adapts to swelling
✓ Wide Toe Box — Reduces bunion pressure, allows natural toe spread
✓ Non-Slip Sole — Confident, stable walking on any surface
✓ Adjustable Straps — Perfect fit even as feet swell throughout the day

Every pair is manufactured to the same prosthetic-grade standards I've always demanded. The only difference now is the price.

A Podiatrist's Final Recommendation

If you're reading this, you probably know what chronic foot pain feels like. The morning hobble. The constant ache. The fear that it'll never get better.

I've spent 42 years helping people just like you.

I can't examine your feet personally anymore. But I can offer you the same solution I've been recommending to my patients for two decades — at a price that's less than a single office visit.

Try them risk-free for 30 days. If they don't help, send them back. No hassle. No questions.

But I think you'll find what thousands of my patients already know: sometimes the simplest solution is the right one.
