Footwear Modifications
At Solutions 4 Feet our workshop has been custom built to our exacting requirements
and can only be described as state of the art. Specialist tools and machinery enable us to produce orthotics & modify all types of footwear to give a fit and performance that you never thought possible. footwear modification is an art which is only practiced by a limited number of specialst workshops.
The soles of many shoes can be modified by adding lifts and rockers to increase mobility of people with many foot problems including arthritis & diabetes.
If you have suffered a stroke or your arthritis reduces your coordination or dexterity then we can offer a range of fastening solutions from velcro & loop to elastic lock laces all of which help make footwear easier to use.
Spring plates and partial fillers can be added to shoes to increase performance for people with partial foot amputation enabling them to participate in sports to a higher level & generally make shoes more comfortable to wear.
We can stretch all types of footwear for bunions, hammer toes, bone spurs and other abnormalities. Should multiple stretches be required on a piece of footwear we would suggest taking a cast of the foot, filling the cast with resin and making a personal bespoke last, this last can then be used to modify numerous shoes, as and when you require them.
