Shoe Clinic Nelson is a fitting store at 84 Bridge Street in The Brook, where shoes are matched to how a customer walks or runs rather than to size alone. The fitting analysis is free and part of the service, and customers pay no more than the retail price of the product. The store uses treadmill gait analysis, Footscan pressure-plate technology and Volumental 3D foot scanning to read how a foot moves and where the pressure falls. The store has no regular podiatrist, but one visits at various times of the year, and the store can confirm the next date by phone on (03) 545 8060.
Opening hours are Monday to Friday from 9am to 5.30pm, Saturday from 9am to 4pm, and Sunday and public holidays from 10am to 4pm. The store is closed on Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. In-store purchases carry a 30-day money-back guarantee, which does not apply to online orders. We hear the Drymax offer of buy three pairs and get the fourth free is running now, so check before you go. The store suits runners, walkers and anyone who has found a shoe that does not feel right.
