Footwear

General Questions
Here you may find answers to questions some of our clients have asked before? If you have additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us, we’ll be glad to assist.
Our experienced podiatrists can assess your foot structure (e.g., flat feet, high arches) and recommend shoes that provide the right level of support, cushioning, and stability for your specific needs.
Depending on usage, the average shoe lasts around 6-12 months. A podiatrist can advise you on when to replace shoes based on wear patterns, foot comfort, and your activity level.
Yes, wearing shoes that do not fit properly or lack support can cause or worsen foot problems like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and calluses. A podiatrist can help identify if your footwear is contributing to your pain and suggest suitable alternatives.
People in jobs requiring long hours on their feet may need specific footwear with proper arch support, shock absorption, and cushioning. A podiatrist can recommend options to prevent foot fatigue, pain, or injury.
Wearing high heels can contribute to foot problems like bunions, hammertoes, and plantar fasciitis. At FITFEET we can advise on how to minimise damage if you need to wear heels, such as opting for lower heels, using supportive insoles, or varying heel heights.
Shoes should fit snugly but not tightly. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. A podiatrist can offer advice on how to ensure proper fit and avoid issues like blisters or toenail damage.
People with diabetes need shoes that reduce pressure points and prevent ulcers or injuries. A podiatrist can help find diabetic-friendly footwear that fits properly and provides maximum protection.
Yes, improper footwear can affect your posture, gait, and alignment, leading to knee, hip, or back pain. A podiatrist can evaluate your footwear and suggest shoes that improve your alignment and reduce strain on your joints.
