FOOTWEAR ASSESSMENT AND ADVICE
Did you know the quality and type of shoe you wear can have a significant impact on the way that you walk or run?
Choosing sport and running shoes
Footwear and running shoes are one of the most important pieces of equipment for anyone standing all day, running or participating in sporting activities.
​
A shoe must fit the dimensions of the foot properly and have the appropriate amount and placement of support to aid the body’s natural biomechanical pattern. This will in turn maximise comfort, decrease injury risk and ensure efficient performance whilst participating in your sport or activity.
​
Footwear and running shoes are constantly changing and developing with new technologies and advancements. Naturally, I understand the importance of shoes and stay up to date with the latest research and developments in the industry. This means that I can accurately recommend specific shoes based on your biomechanical pattern, individual needs, your movement goals and injury history.
Choosing casual and work shoes
Every day and work shoes can impact on the way you walk and are a leading cause of foot and leg injuries.
I have seen it all when it comes to ill-fitting and inappropriate shoes, and routinely witness the pain and distress that they can cause. I 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 your 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.
