Shoes
We put ourselves in your shoes.
Shoes are an essential part of treating foot and ankle complaints and
they’re often the cause. We know that all feet are not the same, and
the same is true with footwear. That’s why we thoroughly evaluate your
shoes and how they relate to your symptoms, foot shape, gait, weight,
lifestyle, and overall biomechanics. Plus, we’ll educate you about how
to choose footwear properly, and we will provide you with a list of the
best shoes for all kinds of specialized needs.
Recommended Shoes
At least twice every year we evaluate the shoes currently available on
the market. Our recommended shoe list contains many of the best shoes
that we have found. For the most part they are shoes that offer
increased stability. In addition, we list some of the best shoe stores
in the Seattle area.
