It is important to wear shoes that are not only appropriate and comfortable, but look good as well.
The podiatrists at Posture Podiatry have each spent time either working or volunteering at local shoe stores in order to stay up to date with latest shoe trends.

With a close working relationship with Adelaide’s best shoe stores, we can help you find the right shoes, ensure they will fit well and make sure they will last a long time.
