Why Professional Shoe Fitting Matters for Surrey Residents
Surrey has a population of nearly 1.2 million, including a significant number of residents aged over 60—the age group most commonly affected by foot conditions requiring specialist footwear. With an average age of 41.3 years and a growing population, the need for proper foot care is increasingly important across the county.
Professional shoe fitting is particularly important for:
-
People with diabetes who need to prevent foot ulcers and complications
-
Individuals with arthritis experiencing joint pain and stiffness
-
Those with bunions, hammer toes, or other foot deformities
-
Anyone with swollen feet requiring extra width or depth
-
People with leg length discrepancies needing custom footwear modifications
Many Surrey residents choose to visit our Farnham clinic for expert fitting and specialist footwear not typically available on the high street.

What We Offer at TDO Therapy
At TDO Therapy, we specialise in orthopaedic and diabetic footwear, offering a personalised fitting service tailored to individual medical and mobility needs.
Expert Foot Assessment
Our trained specialists assess foot structure, pressure areas, circulation, walking pattern, and lifestyle requirements. Accurate measurement of length, width, and depth helps prevent pressure points and reduce the risk of long-term foot problems.
Multiple Width and Depth Options
Standard footwear often fails to accommodate medical needs. We offer shoes in a wide range of fittings—from narrow to extra-extra-wide—with additional depth to accommodate swelling, orthotics, and changing foot shapes common among people with diabetes and arthritis.
Supportive Footwear Designs, Including Rocker Soles
Our footwear range includes features such as:
-
Rocker sole designs to reduce forefoot pressure and support natural gait
-
Extra cushioning for shock absorption and everyday comfort
-
Seam-free interiors to reduce friction and ulcer risk
-
Adjustable Velcro fastenings to accommodate daily swelling
-
Removable insoles suitable for custom orthotics
Custom Build-ups for Leg Length Discrepancies
For individuals with leg length differences, we provide custom shoe build-ups carried out by experienced technicians. These modifications help improve posture and reduce strain on the back, hips, and knees.
The Importance of Proper Footwear for Diabetic Feet in Surrey
Diabetes affects approximately 5.8% of Surrey residents, with an 8% rise recorded in parts of the Surrey Heartlands area since before the pandemic. Without appropriate footwear, diabetic foot complications can develop quickly and become serious.
Diabetes-related foot risks include:
-
Reduced sensation in the feet (peripheral neuropathy)
-
Poor circulation affecting healing
-
Increased risk of foot ulcers and infections
-
Higher risk of amputation if problems are not addressed early
Properly fitted diabetic footwear helps reduce pressure points, improve circulation, and accommodate protective insoles—significantly lowering these risks.
