Orthopaedic Shoe Modifications

We can carry out footwear modifications based on customer requirements, measurements or professional instructions where provided. We are an independent shoe repair studio and do not provide medical advice or diagnose conditions.

Many people need their footwear adapted to accommodate specific requirements - whether due to leg length differences, foot conditions, post-surgical needs or comfort requirements. Our workshop has experience carrying out a wide range of footwear modifications to help people walk more comfortably and safely.

Where a physiotherapist, podiatrist, orthotist or other professional has prescribed specific modifications, we can work from those instructions. We also carry out modifications based on the customer's own requirements or measurements.
