At Feet in Focus, a PAA Certified Pedorthist produces custom orthopaedic footwear for a range of patient needs, whether it is leisure footwear, work footwear, sandals, or sport shoes.
We are equipped in treating and accommodating various foot conditions with our devices, including bunions, clawed toes, flat feet, foot drop, charcot foot, partial and total foot amputations, and many more.
In the process of making functional footwear for all of our patients, we make every effort to incorporate a highly fashionable design to help conceal any underlying problem.
During the initial consultation and assessment, the team at Feet in Focus will make a thorough assessment of the foot in order to determine the individual needs of each patient. Once a treatment plan is devised, we work closely with you, the patient, to select an aesthetically pleasing footwear design that caters to your own personal style.

Custom orthopaedic shoes are tailored to fit the unique contours of an individual's feet. This personalised fit can help alleviate pain caused by a variety of conditions such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammertoes, or arthritis.
Custom footwear are designed to provide optimal support to the feet and ankles. Enhanced support can stabilise the feet, improve balance, and reduce the risk of injuries, especially in individuals with weak or unstable ankles.
For many people, especially the elderly or those with disabilities, custom orthopaedic footwear can make walking easier and less painful, thereby improving overall mobility and independence.
Orthopaedic footwear can be designed to correct existing deformities or prevent the development of new ones.
Custom shoes can be specifically made to accommodate orthotic inserts, braces, or other medical devices. This ensures a better fit and greater effectiveness of these supportive devices.
People with diabetes or peripheral neuropathy are at risk of foot ulcers due to pressure points or rubbing inside the shoe. Custom footwear are designed to minimise these risks by providing a seamless interior and using soft materials.
Properly designed custom orthopaedic footwear can help in aligning the feet correctly, which can positively impact posture and alleviate pain in the knees, hips, and back.
For athletes or individuals with active lifestyles, custom footwear can be designed to suit specific activities, providing the necessary support and flexibility where it's most needed.
Wearing properly fitted orthopaedic footwear can contribute to the long-term health of your feet by preventing the worsening of existing conditions and reducing the likelihood of developing new foot-related issues.
Custom orthopaedic footwear represents a blend of medical science and craftsmanship, aimed at enhancing foot function, comfort, and overall quality of life for individuals with special foot care needs.
