Founder story
Why Spriing started with Angela Ayres.
Angela Ayres built Spriing after years in dance, podiatry, and movement care showed her how hard it was to find support that actually fits everyday life.
Back To Journal
Before Spriing had bright covers and a name, it started with a problem Angela Ayres kept seeing again and again: people wanted better support, but the options were often rigid, bulky, and hard to live with in normal shoes.
From dance to podiatry
Long before Spriing existed, Angela spent years understanding how feet behave under pressure. Dance taught her how much small changes in support can affect movement. Podiatry showed her the everyday version of the same problem: sore feet, tired legs, shoes that no longer work, and support options that feel too clinical for normal life. That mix of performance experience and clinical care shaped the brand from the very beginning.
The gap Spriing set out to fill
For plenty of people, the choice has long felt awkward: either wear nothing and put up with sore feet, or move into a much more clinical orthotic setup that changes what shoes you can wear and how your day feels. Spriing was designed to sit in that missing middle. It gives structured support, but in a slimmer, more approachable format that works with everyday shoes and does not ask you to overhaul your wardrobe just to feel better on your feet.
Why the design looks different
That is why the details matter. The shell does the support work, while the replaceable covers make the product easier to refresh and easier to wear day after day. The colours and prints are not there for decoration alone. They help move the product away from the cold, medical feel that often puts people off orthotics in the first place. The aim is simple: real support that feels easier to say yes to.
