There are constant developments in the design of footwear each new development is carefully researched. The latest is the rocker bottom shoes such as the Finn Comfort- Finnamic and X-Sensible. Although these new design improvements will benefit many it is important to remember they are not for all. This is where a professional in the footwear industry comes in.

Custom made orthopedic footwear is commonly prescribed for more severe foot deformities or people who simply cannot fit in off the shelf footwear.

They can be as simple as adding extra arch support or stretching the shoes for Bunions or as complicated as a complete rebuild of the shoe. Our Experienced Pedorthists will assess your condition and make recommendations as to which if any of the many modifications possible would help solve your issues.
