About Us
Our History
Where it started
Later, realizing that there were not many choices for orthopedic friendly footwear, they opened The Walk Shoppe to offer their clients a better selection of quality footwear.
Today, Custom Orthopedic Ltd. & The Walk Shoppe continues the tradition of making hand crafted orthopedic devices. We also sell high quality brand name footwear & we teach our clients HOW to purchase appropriate footwear. We’re up front about it: We’d rather you buy your shoes from us, but, if you don’t like what we have in the shop, it’s by far more important that you know the HOW and WHY of shoe buying so that you can be your own shoe buying expert! There are components in some of the footwear on the market today that Saverio never had to deal with that can potentially change the way that your orthotics function!
Call us today for a consultation and FEEL the difference!
