About Us
Ideal Feet is a brand that has been around for more than 30 years. Ernest Wallace acquired the brand and has since spent years building, managing, and perfecting the business model and operating structure to provide a one-stop shop for customers to satisfy their often overlooked insole needs. Ernest officially re-launched the brand in San Antonio, opening the location in April of 2015. Ideal Feet now has an operating prototype, but also has operational wisdom from five satellite locations throughout Texas and Oklahoma.
