Aline Systems
Encyclopedia
ALINE Systems, Inc. designs, develops and sells ALINE suspension insoles and the "ALINEr", a device that claims to use simple mechanics and a lazer to measure lower leg and ankle alignment before and after the footbeds are fitted and customized.
ALINE was founded in Marblehead, MA in 2005 by Gordon Hay, Keith Orr, and Derek Carroll. Product sales began in New England in January 2006. As of January 2008 the company has a United States account base in running, golf, cycling, wintersports and outdoor sports.
The ALINE technology evolved from working for two decades making custom orthotics for advanced skiers, snowboarders and mountain climbers. The company's ostensible goal was to build that knowledge into an engineered product that would be available to the masses and provide optimal alignment to users without disrupting natural biomechanics.
