Footwear is THE main thing you can do right for your feet. Wearing the proper footwear for what ever activity you are doing, is the number 1 recommendation from me as a pedorthist. Some clinicians see pedorthists as a pusher of orthotics, but in reality, I have sent more people to other shoe stores to but shoes that suit their individual needs and fit properly, than I have sold orthotics to, education is KEY! With that said, proper shoes are not a "one size fits all" scenario. I once had someone as me "what are the best shoes for your feet" and I wasn't really able to answer that question because it varies between people and their use so widely. I am working daily to expand the foot wear that I am able to offer to my patients as it eliminates people from having to leave Manitoulin Island for quality footwear, as well as having someone that is knowledgeable to be able to put people in the shoe that is MEANT for them!
