Footwear Assessments

Proper footwear forms the foundation of foot health.

Appropriate footwear provides essential support, cushioning, and protection for our feet. In contrast, inadequate shoes can cause injuries, discomfort, create pressure points, and increase fall risks.

It's important to note that there's no universally perfect shoe.

Feet vary in shape, size, and requirements. Beyond aesthetics, it's crucial to consider the functional aspects of footwear. We educate our clients on key features of quality shoes and how to identify them when shopping.

Through years of assessing complex foot issues and matching patients with ideal footwear, our podiatrist has developed extensive expertise in shoe selection. She stays current with the latest footwear technology and has comprehensive knowledge of various brands. This expertise allows her to assess your unique foot type and recommend suitable shoe options.

We maintain a curated list of recommended brands for men, women, and children, covering all footwear categories. See below for some of these brands.
