Footwear Advice & Running Shoes

Let us help you find the perfect Footwear for your feet!

As podiatrists we consider ourselves the shoe EXPERTS! That’s right, when it comes to the nitty gritty in and outs of shoes… think of us! Choosing the right shoe is not a simple task, especially with the ever-growing range of options instore and online. Each shoe has a specific role and impacts on how our feet function. It’s important that you’re in the right shoe for the right activity.

Having a podiatrist assess your feet and gait patterns is one of the best ways to ensure your shoe choice provides your specific level of support, comfort and durability required for your chosen sport or daily wearing.

Shoe fit is always A MUST CHECK in our minds. Having BOTH your feet measured when you buy shoes is important, not only to check length but width and if there’s a different between each foot.

Running & Training Footwear

Picking the right athletic shoes for your feet is important to maintain good foot function as well as reducing the potential for injury.

The movement of the foot during a run is different to the movement of the foot while playing tennis or netball… meaning we need our shoes to act against different forces and terrains. Training shoes act against side-to-side forces while running shoes act to support our feet as they hit the pavement repeatedly in a forward motion.

Our podiatrist’s undertake regular athletic shoe training and can help prescribe the best shoe for your feet to keep you active while decreasing your potential for pain and injury.

FAQ’s

Your consultation will go for 45 minutes. This time allows your Podiatrist to thoroughly examine and understand your needs as well as providing the necessary time to assess your condition properly. We will also develop a comprehensive treatment plan that will enable you to achieve your goal as soon as possible during this consultation.

There is no requirement to supply a referral from your doctor to see a Podiatrist.

With that said, if you have been referred, please bring a copy of the referral letter.

We pride ourselves on offering the highest quality podiatry care, and as a result, we are unable to offer bulk billing on the Chronic disease management plan (formally EPC). Our consultation fees apply to all visits, and a Medicare rebate can be issued to you on the spot with a valid EPC referral. There is a small out of pocket expense on all appointments.

The frequency and number of visitations will depend on the nature of the condition you are being treated for. The treatment and rehabilitation of conditions will vary widely however after an initial consultation your podiatrist will be able to provide a recovery framework for you.

We appreciate 24 hours notice for cancellations when possible. However we know the unexpected can often happen, so a courtesy phone call if you are going to miss an appointment is always appreciated.

An appointment which is cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice, may incur a fee of 50% of the consult rate.

If you miss an appointment, without giving notice, then the full rate of the appointment may be charged.
