Q.  Why do I need new shoes?
A.  Shoes that fit properly and give good support are extremely important to overall health.  Many foot conditions can be easily prevented or treated by wearing properly fitting footwear.  If you have seen your physician, they may have suggested seeing a Certified Pedorthist for your new shoes.

Q.  What is a Certified Pedorthist (C. Ped.)?
A.  A Certified Pedorthist is a health professional certified in pedorthics -- the design, manufacture, modification and fit of shoes and foot orthoses to alleviate problems caused by disease, congenital condition, overuse or injury. 

Q.  How do I find a Certified Pedorthist?
A.  Many quality footwear stores have a C. Ped. on staff.  See our Dealer Locator on our How to Purchase page to find a dealer near you.  Contact your nearest dealer to see if they have a C. Ped. on staff, or ask your physician to refer you to one.
