Kintec's History
--------------------------------
Kintec was founded in 1991 in the heart of the Vancouver Medical community. We started a small professional retail clinic that specialized in the design and manufacture of Custom Foot Orthotics, Sports and Occupational Injury Braces and Specialty Orthopaedic Footwear. We started with one simple goal in mind - to be the best in our field. Working by medical referral, Kintec quickly became recognised as the leader in the field. Since that time, we have grown to 5 full-time stores and operate 1 satellite office.

Our customers now come from all over North America and Europe with one goal in mind - foot comfort! Our footwear selection now includes athletic, comfort casual and orthopaedic shoes. Our certified professional staff can ensure you get the footwear that's right for you. Kintec was the first company of its kind to introduce the F-Scan in-shoe gait analysis system into a public clinical setting.

Prior to us, this revolutionary new system was only used in research and teaching facilities. Kintec was also one of the first companies to use CAD/CAM technology for the design and fabrication of their foot orthotics. From personally designing custom orthotics to meet your needs, to fitting you with footwear that will work with your foot, our goal is not to be the largest in our field. It is simply to be the best.
