Phil Oren www.fitsystembyphiloren.com
Granger’s is proud to sponsor Phil Oren, the Master of Fit and developer of the FitSystem by Phil Oren®. Phil’s innovative technology was the result of a quest for a perfect boot fit. As an avid hiker, backpacker and skier, Phil’s focus on fitting footwear came from his own search for boots to fit his badly deformed feet. Phil spent over ten years researching the biomechanics and physiology of feet, and in 1996 he received the Outdoor Excellence Award for his expertise in educating, training and servicing the retail footwear industry.
“If you’re an avid hiker or back-packer, you know all too well that your boots’ fit can mean the difference between a fantastic hike and utter misery. Phil’s FitSystem® is a revolutionary new way to fit feet by inspecting both top and bottom, determining volume, selecting the proper sock for the physiology of your feet, stabilizing with footbeds, choosing the proper footwear for fit and usage. then modifying as needed. The FitSystem by Phil Oren® helps you take a giant step towards great times, hiking, walking, running or just being out and about.”
“Phil Oren has elevated the fitting of hiking boots to a new realm because he combines the old with the new and art with science. He begins with the traditional methods of evaluation and measurement of the foot, and then judiciously adds biomechanical principles of foot function. I highly recommend these hands-on clinics.”
