Our specialists conduct comprehensive assessments to determine footwear requirements. We measure feet dimensions, assess orthotic compatibility, and recommend appropriate solutions. This service ensures optimal fit for individuals requiring extra-depth or extra-width footwear.
Custom footwear fabrication
Monthly clinics provide custom footwear fabrication using advanced scanning technology. We create tailored solutions accommodating various orthoses. The process involves precise measurements, material selection, and quality craftsmanship to meet individual needs.
Orthotic-compatible footwear fitting
We specialise in footwear designed to accommodate orthotic devices. Our range includes options compatible with foot orthotics, ankle-foot orthotics (AFOs), and knee-ankle-foot orthotics (KAFOs). Proper fitting ensures both comfort and functional effectiveness.
