Wearing the right footwear is crucial for maintaining foot health and preventing common problems like discomfort and injuries. Ill-fitting shoes can lead to issues such as blisters, bunions, plantar fasciitis, and even stress fractures, all of which can significantly impact your daily activities.
A footwear assessment is a valuable tool in ensuring your shoes are both supportive and suited to your unique needs, promoting better overall foot health and well-being.
What happens during a Footwear Assessment?
At Elite Podiatry, our team of experienced podiatrists can demonstrate and advise you on the best features to look for in a good shoe and customise our advice according to your foot type and biomechanics as well as any pre-existing foot conditions.
During a footwear assessment, we will conduct a detailed examination of the feet and assess gait and biomechanics to identify any potential issues.
Please bring in a selection of footwear with you on your first visit as the wear patterns on your shoes can tell us a lot about your biomechanics and any dysfunction that might exist.
If you are planning on purchasing new shoes, please wait until you have been assessed and advised accordingly on what shoe type to choose.
To book a footwear assessment, please call us on 0451 133 575 or book online into one of our Elite Podiatry Mullaloo or Marmion clinics here.
