ALINE Systems

ALINE Systems

ALINE Systems, Inc. (ALINE) designs, develops and sells ALINE suspension footbeds and the "ALINEr", a device that uses simple mechanics and a static, low energy laser 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 (inventor), Keith Orr (designer) and Derek Carroll (president). Product sales began in New England in January 2006. As of January 2008 the company has a United States-wide account base in running, golf, cycling, wintersports and outdoor sports.

Hay invented the ALINE technology after working for two decades as a maker of custom orthotics for advanced skiers, snowboarders and mountain climbers. The company's goal was to build Hay's knowledge into an engineered product that would be available to the masses and provide optimal alignment to users without disrupting natural biomechanics.

Sports

ALINE footbeds are used by numerous professional athletes in skiing, snowboarding and golf. These include skiers Brian Bennett, Ian McIntosh, and Jamie Pierre; professional snowboarders Ross Powers, Andy Finch and Molly Aguirre; and professional golfers D. J. Trahan, Kirk Hanefeld and Phyllis Meti.
