Accessibility Statement
Last updated: June 2026.
Our commitment
The Foot Method wants this site to be usable by everyone — including people who navigate by keyboard, rely on a screen reader or other assistive technology, or need larger text. Many of the people we build for are managing chronic foot pain, so this matters to us, and we treat it as ongoing work rather than a box to check.
We test the site with screen readers and keyboard navigation, and we aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. The next section describes where we are, honestly.
Conformance status
WCAG 2.2 AA is the standard we aim to meet, and we build and test against it — with keyboard-only navigation, browser zoom, and automated checks.
We also test with screen readers — VoiceOver on Apple devices and TalkBack on Android — and we have verified that the key flows work with assistive technology: the product pages, the review photo viewer, the write-a-review form, the quiz, and the cart.
We have not had a formal third-party audit or certification, so we describe WCAG 2.2 AA as the level we aim to meet and actively test toward, rather than a certified result. If you rely on assistive technology and something does not work for you, please tell us (see below) — that is the fastest way for us to find and fix it.
Accessibility features we have built
- Keyboard operability across interactive elements, with visible focus indicators, and a “skip to main content” link at the top of each page.
- The review-photo viewer is a keyboard-operable dialog: focus moves into it when it opens, stays within it while open, closes on Escape or a click outside, and returns to the thumbnail you opened it from.
- Text equivalents for ratings: star ratings and the ratings histogram are conveyed to screen readers as text, not by shape or color alone.
- Forms with real labels: inputs have visible labels, errors are announced and tied to their fields, and the review rating uses native radio buttons you can operate with arrow keys.
- Touch targets for interactive controls are sized to at least 44×44 pixels.
- Semantic structure: landmark regions and headings, text alternatives for images, and labeled regions (such as the announcement bar).
- A consistent color palette chosen with contrast in mind, and we avoid relying on color alone to convey meaning.
Known limitations
Our testing focuses on the key flows above; there may be areas we have not yet covered, and some color-contrast pairings have not been formally verified against the AA thresholds. Third-party components — for example, the hosted checkout — may not fully match the standards we hold our own pages to.
If you hit something that does not work for you, telling us is the fastest way to get it fixed — please see below.
Report a barrier or request an accommodation
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, or you need information on this site in a different format or another accommodation, please email hello@footmethod.com. It helps to include the page, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology you use, if any.
We aim to respond within 2 business days and to fix barriers as quickly as we can.
