Orthopedic Shoes

		Finding the correct shoe is important to ensure your foot is supported and comfortable.

A shoe must pass a long check list of qualities and features to be worthy of the term "orthopaedic"

Orthopaedic shoes are specially designed with those two principles in mind: support and comfort, At Brampton Union Ergonomics we have an in clinic display of stylish top quality orthopaedic shoes from Dr. Comfort(R). These shoes are made to be lightweight, wide, deep and with smooth seam free linings to address serious foot problems such as diabetic foot neuropathy, painful bunions, hammer toes, and pressure sores or ulcers. Orthopaedic shoes can also be modified to accomodate leg length difference, different foot sizes or widths, and bony deformities.

Many people do not require a true orthopaedic shoe. Most common foot problems can ususally be addressed best with a custom orthotic properly fitted into a "off the shelf" or regular shoe. For those patient who do require an orthopaedic shoe the staff at Brampton Union Ergonomics can assist you in making the best selection and completing the proper paperwork required by exteneded health plans or goverment agencies..
