Why Professional Shoe Fitting Matters in Surrey

Surrey's population of nearly 1.2 million includes a significant number of residents over 60 years old—the age group most commonly affected by foot conditions requiring specialised footwear. With an average age of 41.3 years and a growing population (1% increase between 2022-2023), the need for proper foot care is increasingly important across the county.

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 Surrey Shoe Fitting Service

At TDO Therapy, we understand that every foot is unique, especially when dealing with orthopaedic or diabetic conditions. Our Surrey-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 Surrey 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 Surrey 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 Surrey

With diabetes affecting over 52,484 people in Surrey (5.81% of residents) and showing an 8% rise in the Surrey Heartlands area since before the pandemic, 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.

Signs You Need Specialised Footwear

  • Experience persistent foot pain or discomfort
  • Have been diagnosed with diabetes
  • Notice changes in foot shape or size
  • Have recurring calluses, corns, or blisters
  • Use prescribed orthotics or insoles
  • Have one foot larger than the other
  • Experience swelling in your feet or ankles
  • Have had previous foot surgery or injuries
