Shoe Modification For Foot Problems

Properly modified shoes can help relieve foot pain for those who cannot buy the right shoes for themselves and those with foot problems.

Many people with foot problems have difficulties to buy the right shoes for themselves. They may have leg length discrepancy, diabetic feet, hallux rigidus, ankle stiffness, metatarsalgia (forefoot pain) or even foot amputation.

With the right footwear, they can improve their gait pattern, but they can also relieve their pain, including forefoot pain, ankle stiffness and pelvic pain caused by leg length discrepancy.
