Finding the right footwear is about more than just your shoe size—it is about supporting your daily life, mobility, and overall foot health. At Precious Soles, our highly trained fitting experts provide a focused, professional approach to footwear fitting.

To ensure every customer receives the exact level of care, time, and attention they require, we offer two tiers of adult fitting services:

Choose Your Fitting Service

Standard Shoe Fitting (Free): A comprehensive measuring and fitting service for customers looking for comfortable, everyday footwear.

• Best for: Finding your next great pair of everyday shoes without specific medical or pain-related requirements.

• What’s included: A friendly welcome, professional foot measurement (length and width), and expert style recommendations based on your daily needs.

Clinical Footwear Consultation (£60): A dedicated, extended 1-hour appointment for complex footwear needs. Much like visiting an optician or a dentist, this service provides the dedicated time, clinical attention, and in-depth expertise required to address specific foot challenges.

• Best for: Customers managing foot, lower limb, or back pain; accommodating custom orthotics or splints; or fulfilling footwear prescriptions from a medical professional.

• What’s included: An in-depth lower limb biomechanical assessment, gait analysis, specialist footwear matching, and a formal clinical footwear report emailed to you after your visit.

• Fee Waiver: The £60 consultation fee is waived if you purchase footwear during your visit or are a returning customer who has previously purchased from us. (Returning customers who have visited since May 2026 can book our Free Clinical Follow-Up).

What to Expect: Our Expert Assessment Process

For our Clinical Consultations, the assessment process begins the moment you walk into the shop. You are paired with a dedicated, highly trained fitter who will listen to your requirements and discuss any medical information, joint issues, or pain points.

Our comprehensive assessment includes:

• Visual & Gait Analysis: We assess your walking patterns and lower-limb mechanics.

• Precision Measurement: We measure your overall foot length, heel-to-ball ratio, and width.

• Structural Assessment: We evaluate your foot type, toe length, and instep height to understand your unique foot anatomy.

• Medical Integration: We factor in any medical referrals, existing orthotics, or specialist supports to ensure your footwear accommodates your treatment plan.

How We Select the Perfect Footwear

We do not just guess what will fit. Using the precise biomechanical data gathered during your assessment, we match your profile to our highly curated inventory.

Every single item in our stockroom has been individually assessed and tagged by our experts to fit specific foot types and address different ailments. Whether you need a rocker sole to reduce joint pressure or extra depth for a custom orthotic, we focus on styles that meet both your functional needs and aesthetic preferences.

The Final Fit: What We Look For

Our goal is for you to instantly feel the difference. Before finalising any recommendation, our experts check for:

• Optimal foot positioning and alignment.

• The correct volume of width and depth.

• Manageable fastenings and ease of putting the shoe on and taking it off.

• Seamless ease of movement during a test walk.

Our advice and clinical knowledge are always fully shared with you, but the final decision is yours. We only recommend footwear that is genuinely comfortable, meets your specific needs, and improves your everyday life.
