At Letchworth Podiatry Clinic we firmly believe that your foot health, ability to walk comfortably, posture and overall wellbeing are influenced by good-fitting footwear. Incredibly we usually find that the majority of our new patients are wearing inappropriate or poorly-fitting footwear. Occupation, ageing, pregnancy, disease, trauma, peer pressure and fashion are some of the main reasons for this. We offer all our patients, young and old alike, a foot measuring service to ensure, first and foremost, that your shoe is the appropriate fitting.

You will be given expert guidance on the styles of shoes best suited to your anatomical foot shape and/or foot pathology. We can recommend a range of local shoe shops and high quality web-based companies that stock a wide range of podiatry-friendly footwear including children’s shoes, sport shoes and hiking boots. We can also recommend a selection of sandals that are suitable for orthotic (insole) therapy.

Our podiatry team work closely alongside our visiting orthotist Winston Johnstone. Winston offers the podiatry team and patients advice on therapeutic footwear and insoles. His company provides the clinic with a footwear adaptation service whereby suitable footwear can be customized to accommodate both painful and problematic feet.

Winston and Ellen have produced a small range of aesthetically pleasing orthopaedic shoes and sandals. These shoes will be of the highest quality, comfortable yet affordable and will be available to our patients via mail-order catalogue once the feet have been measured. These shoes will also be suitable for orthotic (insole) therapy.
