About the Profession of Orthopädieschuhmacher
An Orthopedic Shoe Technician differs significantly from the conventional shoemaker, who is primarily concerned with the repair of ready-made shoes.
Even if the "normal" shoemaker builds custom-made shoes, this is different from the individual manufacture of an orthopedic shoe.
The production of special shoes, the conversion of ready-made shoes, for example for the needs of diabetics, are the focus of this profession.
This also includes the adjustment of insoles to correct foot deformities as well as padding and relief for certain areas of the foot.
This is particularly important for diabetics to keep their feet healthy.
Orthopedic shoe technology
During World War II many feet and legs were injured, e.g.. many amputated feet. There was a great need for custom-made shoes that would allow the injured men to walk again.
So it happened that more and more shoemakers acquired these special skills of shoemaking in order to get the partially mutilated feet to walk again.
This resulted in the profession of orthopedic shoemaker in 1953. The special skills were taught in an apprenticeship so that the quality of the orthopedic shoes could be improved.

Delivery, Fitting, Adjustment and Modification
When you hand it over, you will actually wear it and carefully check it again. If necessary, it will be fine-tuned and handed over.
In addition, since it is possible that you may experience discomfort after wearing the shoes for a while, we also offer an after-sales service that guarantees repairs and readjustments by our masters for one year even after the shoes have been handed over.
(*In the unlikely event that the shoes do not fit due to our technical problems, we promise to remake them.)
