Struggling to find shoes that actually feel comfortable? At our Stratford-upon-Avon store, our specialist shoe fitters take the guesswork out of buying footwear. Book a free, no-obligation shoe fitting and we'll measure your feet properly and help you find shoes suited to your feet and any complaints you're dealing with, from painful joints to heel pain.

What happens at your fitting

Every fitting takes around 40 minutes and is completely free, with no obligation to buy.

• We measure your feet properly. Many people are wearing the wrong size without realising it — we measure both feet accurately, including width and volume, not just length.
• We talk through what's bothering you. Whether it's heel pain, painful joints, or shoes that just never seem to fit right, tell us about it and we'll factor it into our recommendations.
• We find shoes to suit you. Using our range of health-first, specialist footwear brands, we'll bring you a selection of shoes chosen for your feet and your comfort needs.
• No pressure, no obligation. You're free to try shoes, ask questions, and leave without buying anything.

Please note: our fitters aren't medical professionals and we don't diagnose foot or joint conditions. What we do is help you find footwear that's comfortable and well-suited to complaints like these. If you have a specific medical condition, we'd always recommend speaking to your GP or a podiatrist alongside visiting us.

Who a shoe fitting can help

A fitting is worth booking if you experience:

• Heel pain
• Painful or aching joints
• Bunions
• Arthritis-related foot discomfort
• Shoes that rub, pinch, or never quite fit right
• Or you simply want to be measured properly and buy with confidence

Why book with ShoeMed

We stock health-first footwear brands chosen for comfort and support, so once we know what your feet need, we can match you to shoes that actually work for you, not just whatever's in stock.
