Company Summary

As many as 85% of the shoe-wearing population experiences foot problems, presenting substantial market potential. In North America, foot-related problems cost in excess of US$10 billion per year in treatment and lost workdays alone, while US$250 million is spent on “OTC” (Over-The-Counter) insoles, US$400 million on other OTC foot care products, and US$40 billion on footwear.

Qboid® has developed together with some of the most well known and literate doctors in North America an exciting new scientific framework for understanding foot related pathophysiology. The core technology for the insole is a “Dome” that works inside the shoe at different training levels to free up the joints and train the muscles of the feet instead of artificially supporting them through prescription insoles.

Over time, the „Dome“ increases the muscle tone in your feet and facilitates proprioception, the ability to sense balance. It is small, soft and elastic. With every step you take, the “Dome” stimulates those muscles that are often weakened in a society bound by ill-fitting shoes.  

The „Dome“ comes in three different heights as well as four different variations: COMFORT, ACTIVE, BUSINESS and PERFORMANCE. With these three training levels you are in control and can adjust your results individually, step by step.

The Company’s strategy is to aggressively start the large scale marketing, retail distribution and merchandising efforts initially in Germany and then to expand to Switzerland and Austria. The rest of Europe and the world will follow.

Our own web shop, Therapists, pharmacies (on- and off-line), „Sanitätshäuser“ and sporting goods stores are our initial sales and distribution channels.

Qboid® will be a brand that will attract youthful and active customers in a market which has been dominated in the past by old, traditional brands with no significant product innovations in the last decades

These days, the Insole market attracts mostly older customers because all the products are limited to the promise of pain relief.

Qboid® offers health, strength and mobility while walking or running

Qboid® has filed for two international patents, one for an insole and one for an outer sole which both recently have been granted in Europe. US and Canada are still pending.

All claims and trademarks FREE YOUR FEET®, DAS FITNESSSCENTER IM SCHUH® and Qboid® have been protected internationally.
