24 | ‘A good fit?’ Bringing the
sociology of footwear to the
clinical encounter in podiatry
services: a narrative review
By Emily Nicholls, Victoria
Robinson, Lisa Farndon, and
Wesley Vernon
In this issue’s research article, the authors
examined the importance of a shoe fitting
the person socially and psychologically.
Turns out that not only did they find
patients felt shoes they liked felt like they
fit better (no surprise to any pedorthist!),
but highlights the use of a concept called
Motivational Interviewing which is detailed
in another article in this issue. While the
article references podiatrists throughout
because the research was conducted
in Great Britain where there are very
few pedorthist, it is quite easy to see
that, in this country, the information and
suggestions are directly applicable to our
practices every day.
