The Foundation: Supportive Footbeds
A lot of customers benefit from supportive footbeds. In everyday shoes they can be very helpful but in hillwalking boots and shoes they often prove essential to help support the foot for long days on uneven ground. They help to maintain the foots comfort by maintaining the foots length, width and structure while it is under pressure from hard sustained days of walking. We stock a big range of supportive footbeds from Superfeet and Sidas and have the training to pick the correct footbeds for your feet. We can also make custom footbeds if your feet are different to each other or your feet are very problematic.
In-House Customisation & Stretching
Feet are very different and it is often necessary to customise footwear for your feet. We can do this by stretching the footwear with special machines to make them wider or pinching the footwear to make it narrower or even flattening out seams to help comfort. All this is done in house with our specialist equipment.
At Craigdon Aberdeen we have the range, knowledge, experience and equipment to get you the right footwear for your feet.
