SoleMender is a foot roller for plantar fasciitis, and it was pitched during <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/category\/shark-tank\/\">Shark Tank<\/a><\/em>&#8216;s ninth season. Find out what happened post-<em>Shark Tank<\/em> below, including where the company is now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">SoleMender Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Ehan and Vinay Kamat co-founded the foot roller for plantar fasciitis. For those that don&#8217;t know, the aforementioned condition is inflamed tissue that connects the heel bone to your toes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) On the show, Ehan and Vinay went in asking for $75,000 For 10%. They did not end up with a deal from <em>Shark Tank<\/em>. But, that hasn&#8217;t stopped them. Their company is still thriving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Impressive, without a doubt! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SoleMender?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SoleMender<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SharkTank?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SharkTank<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NLXRbXS0Vm\">pic.twitter.com\/NLXRbXS0Vm<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Shark Tank (@ABCSharkTank) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ABCSharkTank\/status\/919735695685566464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 16, 2017<\/a><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Ehan invented SoleMender when his mom was suffering from plantar fasciitis. He wanted a more effective, less messy way for his mom to get relief from her foot pain, while still utilizing doctor-recommended methods. With the help of his father, Vinay, a doctor, he built the prototype, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/sharktanktales.com\/solemender-shark-tank-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shark Tank Tales<\/a>. Did we mention he was only 12 years old when the idea came about? His <em>Shark Tank<\/em> appearance happened when he was 17!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) What differentiates the product from other foot rollers out there is its non-slip base and removable, freezable roller. It&#8217;s recommended to use ice and stretches to alleviate foot pain associated with plantar fasciitis, and Ehan&#8217;s product does both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"902\" height=\"516\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/solemender.png\" alt=\"Solemender\" class=\"wp-image-7043 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/solemender.png 902w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/solemender-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/solemender-768x439.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 902px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 902\/516;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"902\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/solemender.png\" alt=\"Solemender\" class=\"wp-image-7043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/solemender.png 902w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/solemender-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/solemender-768x439.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Photo Credit: SoleMender.com.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>5) They only have the one product <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solemender.com\/collections\/buy-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online<\/a> for purchase.
