The Healthy Footwear Guide  There is a slowly increasing body of evidence to support the belief that footwear is potentially harmful to the human foot. In November 2007, the findings of an expert group consensus event were published, in which the criteria for the recognition of healthy footwear were considered and agreed. The group comprised of expert representatives from both clinical and industry backgrounds.
Following this work, the group has reconvened as an Executive Committee known as “The Healthy Footwear Group”. The purpose of this group is to actively translate the findings of the consensus event into practice, in the form of a “Healthy Footwear Guidelines” scheme.
Padders are pleased to say that they are on the Executive Committee, as they believe that it is an excellent initiative and will help customers choose appropriate footwear for their needs.
Lookout for the Healthy Footwear Guide logo throughout our brochure and on our website, which shows footwear that meets all the criteria of the guide.
