ost of the population over the
age of 40 have some problem
with their feet. No issue, big or
small, should be a cause for discomfort
when it comes to wearing shoes, says
Susan and Anne, the proprietors of Heel
to Toe Footwear.
Many of our customers are unaware
that there are shoes which can properly
accommodate orthotics or provide
comfort and support for daily mobility.
Our store has a wide range of styles,
sizes and widths which can accommodate
almost any need. Our customers
often say how amazed they are at the
difference a well fitted shoe can make to
their daily lives and the latest fashions
mean that does not come at any style
disadvantage.
Orthopaedic and comfort footwear
has come a long way since the “black
lace-up boot” of the past. Our shoes,
although pre-fabricated, can be modified
to accommodate many aspects of foot
pathology. It could be as simple as
changing the lacing system to make the
instep more comfortable, to sole build
ups to accommodate a leg length
difference. These changes can be made
on our full range of footwear including
our fashion wear.
Heel to Toe Footwear is now under
new ownership, which has brought an
exciting change not only to the current
styles and brands available but to the
experienced team.
All staff
at Heel to Toe Footwear
are trained specialists and work closely
with podiatrists, medical practitioners
and other health care workers in the
supply of footwear which is both
comfortable and appropriate to particular
needs. This could mean a steel tip boot
right through to supportive house shoes.
Whatever a person’s needs are Heel
to Toe Footwear have the skill to advise
on correct sizing by first assessing feet
through taking a brief background of
foot and general health and then detailed
measurements. Split sizing and shoes for
the smallest to largest feet can usually be
satisfied.

colours available at our store at 17 Cary
