Comfort and Fit was established in 1989 with its headquarters in Sydney.
Foot health and Footwear are inextricably linked, so whether you require a specialised shoe from a medical footwear referral or just want to take care of your feet we can professionally fit footwear for all ages from child to senior.
Our aim is to provide you with footwear that is comfortable, durable and provides the best possible support.
We have highly trained staff who will work with you and your specific needs. We are highly respected by all health professionals involved in footwear. Comfort and Fit staff are members of the Australian Pedorthic Medical Grade Footwear Association (www.apmgfa.org.au) and participate in the continual education programme of that Association.
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 healthprofessionals.
Our staff participates 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 plantarfasciitis, 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.
- Application of a build up (this requires a referral so that we know the exact leg length difference).
- Re lasting
We can also provide 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. This includes steel toed boots in wide fittings.
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". |
