Footwear & Essentials

Shoes, socks, compression stockings, lock laces, insoles and ankle braces, fitted by our Footwear Fitting Crew.

Footwear and essentials for movement

Every product has a story to tell.

Our footwear and essentials-for-movement shop sits right amongst our podiatry studio.

Every product on our shelves has been selected by our podiatrists. We’ve tried and tested it ourselves, or we first brought it in for a patient when we were looking for the right solution for their feet.

Our Footwear Fitting Crew, trained by our podiatrists to fit shoes, compression stockings and more, are ready to help you find the right fit, and our podiatrists are on site if anything needs a closer look.

Choose your footwear fitting

Three ways to get the right fit

Our Footwear Fitting Crew are trained fitters, not podiatrists. They’ve been trained by our podiatrists to measure, fit and help you choose the right shoe, and a podiatrist is on site if anything needs a closer look.

With a podiatrist

Podiatry footwear assessment

An appointment with one of our registered podiatrists, focused on your feet and your footwear. Ideal for foot pain, diabetes, reduced feeling, bunions or tricky fits, or if you need custom made footwear. We take a thorough history so we can get to know you, assess your feet and arrange a referral for custom made footwear if you need one.

What we stock

Everything from the ground up

Footwear

Everyday, work, walking, running and kids’ shoes. We stock a range of Australian Podiatry Association (APodA) endorsed footwear, alongside other carefully selected styles, because different people have different footwear needs.

Socks

We’re a little obsessed with socks. If you think the right pair of shoes is important, well, let us tell you: the right pair of socks is make or break. Sports socks, arch support socks and heel cushioned socks. Toe socks, hiking toe socks and double layer hiking toe socks. “Invisible” bamboo socks for dressier or no show shoes. Fun kids’ socks, and bed socks too.

Compression stockings

Graduated compression, measured to fit. Our Footwear Fitting Crew can measure and fit level 1 compression. For higher levels of compression, we recommend seeing our podiatry team.

Lock laces

Not just for athletes. Lock laces are great for triathletes and anyone wanting a faster transition in life, for healthy ageing, and for anyone who would like a hand getting their shoes on and off. Easy on, easy off, with a secure fit.

Insoles

Low cost diabetic insoles are available over the counter and through a podiatry appointment. Other off-the-shelf insoles are fitted through a podiatry appointment, and custom options are available through our custom orthotics service.

Ankle braces

Off-the-shelf ankle braces are available in the shop. Custom options are available through an appointment with one of our podiatrists.

Our footwear and essentials shop has been patient driven, created from necessity and from wanting to give our patients access to high quality products. Every product has been approved by our podiatry team. If there’s something you need, or something you think we should stock, we’d love to hear from you.

How we fit

Fitting designed by podiatrists

  • We measure the length and width of both feet, standing, every time. Feet change over the years.
  • We ask questions to get to know you: your lifestyle, your activities and what you want from your shoes, because it’s different for everyone.
  • Bring the shoes you wear most and any orthotics or braces, so we can check the fit with them in.
  • We work closely with our team of podiatrists, and refer you to see them where needed.

Your shoe wardrobe

A shoe for the things you love

We don’t talk about “good” and “bad” shoes anymore. It’s about having the right shoe for the right occasion.

This is new age podiatry.

Think about the things you love doing: walking the dog, a long day at work, a run, gardening, the beach, a wedding. We’ll help you build a shoe wardrobe around them, so you’ve got the right pair for each.

Investing in pieces that last is better for your feet and the planet. When your shoes have had their day, drop them into our shoe recycling bin at the studio.

Our philosophy

The shoe pyramid

Just like the food pyramid, we start with the right shoes at the base and work our way up. It’s okay to have other shoes “sometimes”. When you do, we’ll help you find better alternatives.

The shoe pyramid: every day shoes at the base, shoes for the things you love in the middle, and sometimes shoes at the top Sometimes For the things you love Every day
Top · Sometimes

Shoes you enjoy now and then

Heels, thongs and flat fashion shoes. Enjoy them. When you do, look for better alternatives: a thong with a contoured footbed, or a lower, broader heel.

Middle · For the things you love

Shoes made for the job

Running, hiking, the gym, sport, gardening, the beach and work boots. The right shoe for each activity.

Base · Every day

Your foundation

Well fitted, supportive shoes for what you do most: walking, work and the school run. Measured to fit and comfortable, so you’ll actually wear them.

Parking underneath the building or at the back, and a lift to Level 1.

We don’t take online orders, because people come to us for the fit, the in person advice and the connection. If you’ve purchased from us in the past 12 months, give us a call on (08) 9280 0223 and we can happily post products out to you. If it’s been longer than 12 months, we recommend coming back into the shop for a fitting review.

Did you know? Your shoe size changes over your life. Things like pregnancy, hormones, age and injuries can all change the shape of your feet. Plus, different brands and styles all size differently. We help you navigate this.
