Footwear Assessment and Advice

Introduction to Footwear Assessment and Advice

A large proportion of patients who attend clinic on a daily basis will wear ill-fitting shoes. Wearing shoes smaller and narrower than the feet is associated with hammer toes, hallux valgus deformity and foot pain. Incorrectly fitting footwear may be a significant contributing factor associated with forefoot pathology and foot pain. This knowledge highlights the need for footwear assessment in the management of foot problems.

Each of our practitioners are qualified to educate on sports shoes, or provide diabetic foot care advice or even give advice on general footwear and good places in and around Singapore to purchase appropriate footwear.
