Everyday and work shoes can impact on the way you walk and are a leading cause of foot and leg injuries.

We have seen it all when it comes to ill-fitting and inappropriate shoes and we routinely witness the pain and distress that they can cause. We also understand the importance of having shoes that suit your work or social environment and we will not suggest orthopaedic shoes for a corporate work environment. Having these shoes assessed can reduce your risk of injury, long-term changes in foot shape and importantly, increase your comfort to ensure you can wear these shoes for longer and with less discomfort.

 

“My previous podiatrist told me to wear ‘ugly’ shoes. Will you do the same?”

Absolutely not. Your shoes need to suit the social or physical activity you will be using them for. If you are in a formal corporate environment, we will suggest shoes to suit this. Similarly, if you are a university student, we will provide options that won’t make you look dowdy. We know our shoes and will have an abundance of brand options and styles for you to consider.
