Services
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics treat flat feet, high arches, heel spurs, and nerve pain while providing comfort. We create insoles that correct posture, redistribute pressure, and alleviate conditions like plantar fasciitis. Our biomechanical approach ensures proper alignment from feet to lower back, combining European precision with Australian practicality for long-term relief.
Custom Made Shoes
Tailored footwear solutions address severe foot deformities or specific medical needs. We craft shoes that accommodate orthotics, correct gait issues, and prevent complications from diabetes or arthritis. Our designs balance medical functionality with modern aesthetics, ensuring both therapeutic benefits and wearability in daily life.
Ankle Foot Orthosis
Specialist braces for foot drop and ankle arthritis restore mobility and stability. We design AFOs that maintain proper foot positioning post-stroke, injury, or genetic conditions. These lightweight supports integrate seamlessly with footwear while preventing falls and improving walking efficiency through controlled ankle movement.
Footwear Modifications
Existing footwear can be adapted to changing needs through heel lifts, toe inserts, and support additions. We modify shoes to accommodate swelling, correct posture imbalances, and enhance comfort without requiring new purchases. This cost-effective solution extends footwear lifespan while addressing evolving foot health requirements.
Home Visits
We provide weekday appointments from 7 AM to 6 PM at clients' locations across Mandurah. This service benefits those with mobility challenges, busy schedules, or complex foot conditions requiring immediate attention. Our mobile setup ensures the same professional assessment and fitting as in-workshop consultations.

Report
Love my new orthotics! They are very high quality and feel great, my ankle pain is all but gone after just a week wearing them! Bob and Bianca were very friendly and easy to work with as well, highly recommended to anyone who needs some new custom made orthotics! I will definitely be back for my next pair!
