With a significant number of people in West Sussex living with diabetes, arthritis, and mobility-related foot conditions, access to properly fitted footwear is not just about comfort—it plays a vital role in preventing complications and maintaining independence.

Why Professional Shoe Fitting Matters for Chichester Residents

Chichester, the historic cathedral city and county town of West Sussex, has a district population of approximately 124,000, with a higher-than-average proportion of residents aged over 60. As foot-related conditions become more common with age, specialist footwear plays an important role in maintaining mobility and quality of life.

Professional shoe fitting is particularly beneficial for:

  • People living with diabetes who need to reduce the risk of ulcers and infections

  • Individuals with arthritis experiencing joint pain and stiffness

  • Those with bunions, hammer toes, or other foot deformities

  • Anyone with swollen feet requiring extra width or depth

  • People with leg length discrepancies needing footwear modifications

Many Chichester residents choose to visit our Farnham fitting location to access footwear options and fitting expertise that are not widely available elsewhere.

What We Offer at TDO Therapy

At TDO Therapy, we specialise in orthopaedic and diabetic footwear, providing a personalised fitting service tailored to individual medical and mobility needs.

Expert Foot Assessment

Our trained specialists assess foot structure, pressure areas, circulation, walking pattern, and lifestyle requirements. Accurate measurement of length, width, and depth helps prevent pressure points and long-term foot problems.

Multiple Width and Depth Options

We offer footwear in a wide range of fittings—from narrow to extra-extra-wide—with additional depth to accommodate swelling, orthotics, and changing foot shapes.

Supportive Footwear Features

Our footwear range includes:

  • Rocker sole designs to reduce forefoot pressure and support a natural gait

  • Extra cushioning for shock absorption and everyday comfort

  • Seam-free interiors to reduce friction and ulcer risk

  • Adjustable Velcro fastenings to accommodate daily swelling

  • Removable insoles suitable for custom orthotics

Custom Build-ups for Leg Length Discrepancies

For individuals with leg length differences, we provide custom shoe build-ups carried out by experienced technicians, helping to improve posture and reduce strain on the back, hips, and knees.

Diabetic Footwear Support for the Chichester Area

Diabetes affects a significant proportion of adults across West Sussex, including Chichester, with prevalence estimated at around 6–7% and continuing to rise. Without appropriate footwear, diabetic foot complications can progress quickly.

Diabetes-related foot risks include:

  • Reduced sensation (peripheral neuropathy)

  • Poor circulation affecting healing

  • Increased risk of foot ulcers and infections

Properly fitted diabetic footwear helps reduce pressure points, accommodate protective insoles, and support safer, more comfortable walking.

  • Experience ongoing foot pain or discomfort

  • Suffer from recurring calluses, corns, or blisters
