With over 52,000 people living with diabetes across Surrey, and many more experiencing foot-related conditions, proper footwear is not just about comfort—it is essential for protecting foot health and preventing serious complications.
Why Professional Shoe Fitting Matters for Godalming Residents
Godalming is a historic market town within the borough of Waverley, which has a population of approximately 128,000 and a growing proportion of residents aged over 60. As foot conditions become more common with age, access to specialist footwear plays an important role in maintaining mobility and independence.
With many residents enjoying riverside walks along the River Wey and access to the Surrey Hills, proper foot support is essential for staying active and pain-free.
Professional shoe fitting is particularly important for:
-
People with diabetes who need to prevent foot ulcers and complications
-
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 custom footwear modifications
Many Godalming residents choose to visit our Farnham fitting location to access specialist footwear and expert advice not commonly available elsewhere.
What We Offer at TDO Therapy
At TDO Therapy, we specialise in orthopaedic and diabetic footwear, offering a personalised fitting service tailored to individual medical and mobility needs.
Expert Foot Assessment
Our trained specialists carry out a detailed assessment of foot structure, pressure areas, circulation, walking pattern, and lifestyle requirements. Accurate measurement of length, width, and depth helps reduce pressure points and prevent long-term foot problems.
Multiple Width and Depth Options
Standard footwear often fails to accommodate medical needs. We offer shoes in a wide range of fittings—from narrow to extra-extra-wide—with additional depth to accommodate swelling, orthotics, and changing foot shapes common among people with diabetes and arthritis.
Supportive Footwear Designs, Including Rocker Soles
Our footwear range includes features such as:
-
Rocker sole designs to reduce forefoot pressure and support natural gait
-
Extra cushioning for shock absorption and 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. These modifications help improve posture and reduce strain on the back, hips, and knees.
The Importance of Proper Footwear for Diabetic Feet in Godalming
Diabetes affects approximately 5.8% of Surrey residents, with numbers continuing to rise across the Surrey Heartlands area. Without appropriate footwear, diabetic foot complications can develop quickly and become serious.
Diabetes-related foot risks include:
-
Reduced sensation in the feet (peripheral neuropathy)
-
Poor circulation affecting healing
-
Increased risk of foot ulcers and infections
-
Higher risk of amputation if problems are not addressed early
Properly fitted diabetic footwear helps reduce pressure points, improve circulation, and accommodate protective insoles—significantly lowering these risks.
