Prescription and Medical Shoes on the Central Coast

Chronic lower leg issues in the injured or elderly call for specific types of footwear to relieve the discomfort associated with these conditions. Heel to Toe Footwear provides a wide range of medical grade shoes in various shapes and fits that can help manage the symptoms of various medical conditions.

When used to protect the feet after an injury or operation, medical shoes are also referred to as post-surgical shoes. These shoes protect the area and provide the necessary support to your feet and ankle, effectively changing the way how your feet carry the body weight, decreasing the pain after injury or surgery, and helping you heal quickly.

Why is medical footwear necessary?

Several medical conditions can manifest in the lower extremities of the body in the form of ulcers, swelling, etc. Ailments like diabetes, arthritis, stroke, vascular diseases, etc., can lead to severe pain and discomfort in the feet, preventing patients from moving freely.

Special medical shoes come with several features that make it easier to manage the symptoms and effects of these ailments. Our collection is carefully designed to help your feet move and function naturally, keeping them in good health and correcting any deformities in the posture, etc.

Our range of comfort wear and medical shoes for the elderly are designed in close collaboration with medical professionals who have thoroughly studied lower limb biomechanics and anatomy and physiology. We work with consultant specialists who can quickly assess the cause of your ailments and provide you with an effective solution.

Benefits of wearing medical footwear

1. Excellent feet support: Over time, painful foot problems can worsen the pain and restrict mobility. Our range of medical footwear not only support the foot arches but also cushion the entire foot and correct problems with alignment and posture.
2. Enhanced circulation: Diabetic neuropathy can prevent people from feeling the pain until it becomes severe without proper treatment. Orthopaedic shoes provide your feet ample space to move around, enhancing circulation to the feet and helping in recovery.
3. Less pain: Ill-fitted and poorly designed shoes that suffocate your toes can lead to the pain worsening over time. Medical shoes for the elderly are available in non-standard sizes, which makes it easier and less painful for people with deformities due to injuries or long-term medical conditions.
4. Healing from injuries: Medical shoes for walking are crucial for sportspersons and people who like living an active lifestyle to manage light pain and increased movement after an injury or surgery. When correctly fitted, these shoes mold onto your foot, limiting the movement, and helping it recover faster.
5. Better mobility: One of the most common effects of medical conditions like heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammertoe, and flat feet is limited mobility as people experience severe pain and discomfort during gross motor activities. Our footwear cushions the feet to improve mobility and heal existing foot problems.
