Staff at Comfort & Fit have had training in various health related fields including nursing and occupational therapy. We also have a certified pedorthist who trained in the United States. A pedorthist specialises in the design, manufacture, modification and fit of footwear, to alleviate foot problems caused by disease, overuse or injury.

Many clients are referred to us by podiatrists, orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, rehabilitation surgeons, physiotherapist, occupational therapists, nurses, and by word of mouth. We are well respected by health
professionals.

Our staff participate In continuing education to ensure that we can assist our clients with the most up to date information and technology. We are educated in common foot conditions and complaints such as plantar
fasciitis, metatarsalgia, bunions, hammer toes, diabetic foot problems, amputations etc. We are able to recommend the most suitable footwear for your condition and any modifications that may be required.

Some modifications that we are able to carry out include:
• Velcro conversions.
• Resoling and reheeling.
• Stretching over bunion area.
• Application of a build up (this requires a referral so that we know the exact leg length difference).

We can also recommend other more complex modifications to gain optimal comfort and fit.

When you come to visit us we measure both of your feet, assess the shape of your feet, observe how you walk, assess the shape of your orthotic (if you have one) and assess the general appearance and condition of your feet.
We then fit you in the most suitable shoe to accommodate your special needs.

Our previous training, continuing education and experience with people having a variety of health conditions is our biggest asset. Because of this we have a greater understanding of your problems and your needs. We encourage and support the "teamwork approach".

We look forward to being of service to you.
