Why Professional Shoe Fitting Matters in Farnborough

Farnborough, a key town within the borough of Rushmoor (population ~96,000), is known for its rich aviation heritage and vibrant community. It includes a notable number of residents over 60 years old—the age group most commonly affected by foot conditions requiring specialised footwear. With the median age in Rushmoor being around 38.4 years, reflecting a dynamic population, and many enjoying active lifestyles with access to local parks and amenities, the need for proper foot care is increasingly important across the town.

Professional shoe fitting is particularly important for:

  • People with diabetes who need to prevent foot ulcers and complications

  • Those with arthritis experiencing foot pain and joint issues

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

  • Anyone with swollen feet requiring extra width or depth

  • People with leg length discrepancies needing custom modifications

What We Offer at Our Farnborough Shoe Fitting Service

At TDO Therapy, we understand that every foot is unique, especially when dealing with orthopaedic or diabetic conditions. Our Farnborough-based shoe fitting service provides:

Expert Fitting Advice
Our trained specialists assess your feet thoroughly, considering your specific condition, walking pattern, and lifestyle needs. We take precise measurements to ensure your shoes fit perfectly in length, width, and depth—crucial factors for preventing pressure points and complications.

Multiple Width and Depth Options
Standard shoes often don't accommodate the unique needs of people with foot conditions. We offer footwear in various width fittings from narrow to extra-extra-wide, and multiple depth options to accommodate swelling, orthotics, and foot deformities common in Farnborough residents with diabetes and arthritis.

Supportive Designs, Including Rocker Soles
Our range includes specially designed supportive footwear with features like:

  • Rocker soles to reduce pressure on the forefoot and aid walking

  • Extra cushioning for shock absorption and comfort

  • Seam-free interiors to prevent rubbing and ulceration

  • Adjustable fastenings to accommodate daily swelling

  • Removable insoles for custom orthotics

Custom Build-ups for Leg Length Discrepancies
For Farnborough residents with leg length differences, we provide custom modifications to standard footwear. Our shoe technicians can create precise build-ups that correct your gait and prevent the back, hip, and knee problems often caused by uneven leg lengths.

The Importance of Proper Footwear for Diabetic Feet in Farnborough

With diabetes prevalence in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care System area affecting around 6.8% of adults (a figure reflecting the situation in communities like Farnborough), and national trends showing a consistent rise, proper footwear is essential for preventing serious complications.
Diabetes can lead to:

  • Reduced sensation in the feet (peripheral neuropathy)

  • Poor circulation affecting healing

  • Increased risk of foot ulcers and infections

  • Higher risk of amputation if problems aren't addressed early

The right shoes can significantly reduce these risks by preventing pressure points, improving circulation, and accommodating protective insoles.
