Sculla is extremely knowledgeable and a true professional who makes orthotics by hand to fit and support your feet in all the right places. It was such a relief to wear my new insoles for the first time. I had tried so many others but they disappointed and I thought I would just have to accept the sad fact that sore feet come with aging and learn to live with them as best I can. The insoles that Sculla made for me are so comfortable they feel like a hug to my feet. I will always be grateful to her and will go back for another pair read more

I have been going to Sculla Conrad for custom orthotics since 2005. She does exceptional work designing exactly what is needed to alleviate a foot or gait problem. Her orthotics are designed from custom plaster foot molds, so they exactly match each person's feet. My custom orthotics have all lasted for at least 10 years, so I am on my 3rd round. I so appreciate her craftsmanship. read more

Skoa is a miracle worker. If you have foot pain and regular insoles don't do it, custom insoles make all the difference in the world. Worth every penny to have so much less pain when walking. Make an appt - that's the best way to see her. She took imprints, watched me walk, noticed several issues that she could correct and then created customs. She added insoles to my sandals and did another pair for my sneakers. I had horrible planter fasciitis and these insoles make all the difference in the world. Highly recommend! read more

Shula, the owner/professional who made my orthotic did a great job. I've had the orthotic for about five years and whenever it gives me trouble, Shula fixes it without complaint. She's a highly competent professional and I highly recommend her and her business to you. read more

I needed orthotic inserts for my new shoes. I arrived during a heated conversation between two ladies; heated in a good way. Great service, laughter and advice given and taken with other customers I'll be back. read more

Center Shoe & Orthotics - Finally!!! I finally have a decent pair of orthotic inserts!! - Orthotics Near Me - Novato, California

There are people who profess to know what they are talking about, and people who actually do know what they are talking about! When it comes to feet, how you walk, and the exactly right custom orthotics you need, Sculla, the owner of Center Shoe & Orthotics, is indeed, an artist. She takes her time and patience to fit you perfectly and you never ever feel rushed. She simply cares and makes you feel like someone is finally saying, "I've got you". I have gone to two podiatrists, have had two custom orthotics made, and have been disappointed, yep, two times. Then my PT person told me about Sculla, and WOW. She spent more time with me than the other two combined, thoroughly examined my feet, and then carefully crafted my new orthotics (SOOO MUCH BETTER MADE), and they are simply night and day from the others. Need to say, WOW, again! She is the very best at her craft and I recommend her way beyond highly! read more

I live in Georgia and went to Sculla's shop for a pair of orthotics while visiting family in the area. I have 2 rods and 10 screws in my lower back plus an arthritic right knee that cause me to lose my balance frequently. I wanted more stability for my golf shoes when I play golf and she fixed me up so well that I ordered 2 more pairs when I got back to Georgia, which she sent to me within 2 weeks. I won the women's club championship this year and I believe my new orthotics in my golf shoes were one of the reasons why. Sculla is amazing! She really knows feet. I call her The Foot Whisperer. read more

Scülla Is either a genius or a magician! The orthotics she crafted for me have changed my life, And I've only been wearing them a few days. I found center shoe and orthotics through the recommendation of a friend, and I'm so grateful. From the moment I walked in I knew I was in great hands. She had me remove my shoes and socks and by feeling the various parts of my feet, she was able to determine what form my orthotics should take. She took two different kinds of impressions of my feet and my step, and we set a date for the following week to pick up my orthotics. They are in my shoes now and I am in heaven! Thanks so much, Scülla and Jean! PS: Also, they have gelato! read more

Such a great understanding of how to fix foot issues. My son was told he needed surgery and after a visit here and some custom inserts, he is running with no pain and we noticed his feet are actually healing. Same for me. I developed plantar fasciitis after a marathon and never thought I'd run again. After two weeks of custom inserts, I was back on the trails and never had another issue with foot pain. Now if I can only get a pair of these to fit in my dress shoes! read more

I've had foot problems all my life, been to many podiatrists, had many different types of orthotics over the years, but how much I wish I'd found this place sooner? Skula (probably spelling her name wrong) has her own unique method of building custom orthotics to match your feet. I was skeptical at first, being used to the typical hard-plastic molded ones that most podiatrists offer, but several years and hundreds of hiking miles later I am a believer. If you're having foot problems, don't hesitate, give her a try! The initial cost of the orthotics was comparable to podiatrist rates but unlike them she stands by her work for the long-term and has tweaked / repaired mine for free several times over the last two years. Be honest with her about what does & doesn't work for you and she'll get them dialed in. read more

I used to work for a comfort shoe store in Marin and we sent all of our hard cases to Sculla. Making orthotics is part science, part art. Sculla understands the foot better than some doctors I've met. I had many customers come back to thank me for sending them to Sculla- for the first time in years they were walking without pain. If your knees or hips hurt while walking- it could be your feet. Go see Sculla- she'll be honest about how she can help you. read more

Sculla is AMAZING! I plan to bring my family one by one to get her services! She is clearly a guru of orthotics! Her knowledge and care for her patients is second to none. LIFE CHANGING! read more

Sculla helped me wear shoes that aren't tennis shoes! I've had plantar fasciitis for years and it's gotten so bad I finally decided to get orthotics. She really knows what my feet needed. She made me two kinds of orthotics and my feet are finally feeling better. She checks over your feet and posture to determine what you need. I'm so grateful to Sculla for getting rid of the pain! read more

Hip pain, knee pain, whatever. Before you have the doctors run you through the xray MRI mill, go see Sculla. I was hesitant but a friend convinced me to make an appointment with her. She sized me up for orthotics and I came back to get them in about a week. I put them in my shoes and couldn't believe how much better I felt. I shook my head and thought; "Why did I wait so long?" It's been years they've keep me aligned and apparently never wear out. read more

Sculla is a rock star - super smart - great ideas and pretty quirky. Be prepared for an unusual experience. A true " artiste" she can forget your order or solve a lifetime of problems. People love her. read more

My husband was referred to Sculla by his Osteopath due to recurring back issues. He made an appointment, arrived, waited for 30 minutes, and left- the store was closed (despite posted business hours) and she didn't show up. She did call later in the day to apologize and let him know she had been stuck working on a casting. Due to the call, we decided to try again, so made a second appointment. The store was closed again (despite posted business hours) and she didn't show up. We live about 30 minutes away so each time took a good hour out of my husband's day. It was rude, incredible unprofessional and we will never return, nor would we recommend her to others. read more

I had a pair of Birkenstock sandals and a pair of shoe inserts made by Sculla seven months ago and they worked perfectly. After years of foot pain, I have been pain-free for months. I now am planning to get another pair of each. read more

Very knowledgeable, great service, need I say more......

Sculla is the best! She made me feel like an old friend when she fitted me for my orthotics to use in my Hoku running shoes. I wear them most of the time, and in two months my feet, back and gait are almost normal, even when I'm wearing other footwear. My troubled foot has straightened out some and--what surprises me--it looks better. She promised the inserts would be ready in a week, and they were. I have gotten orthotics elsewhere in Marin and was disappointed. John P. read more

Sculla has had me walking pain free for over twenty years. I'm on my way there today for a tune-up. She knows what she is doing and she is Worth Waiting For. read more

Sculla is a person with so much knowledge available to anyone who just walks into her store, that I am so glad we found her. In fact, my husband found her too, and then we brought our kids along and I guess perhaps i was the one who finally needed a lot of help, as it turned out. Sculla has helped my whole family with orthotic inserts that she seems to be an expert at making, and her experience and insights on just how feet work, by simply looking at us, makes me think she is even more valuable than seeing a doctor in many cases. It is not just that her expertise and advice was given freely, but it is based on a solid foundation of years of experience. Do not miss the opportunity to get her opinion, which she offers easily and willingly. She is not just a gift for anyone dealing with feet issues, but by looking at our feet, she was able to say who needs help and who doesn't, what kind of help and how it will affect our whole bodies, and in what order ( backs, knees etc.). I cannot recommend her enough, please, listen to her, it is well worth your time. It could even save you having to deal with doctors or surgeries that you might possibly otherwise have regretted. She has a lot of insights on shoes of course too, and we have bought some of them there as she carries only the best. read more
