You have heard of the Lord of the Dance, and the Feet of Flames, now let us introduce you to Samuel Welter Pedorthist, the Lord of the Shoes.
Samuel (Sam) is from Cologne, West Germany and came to Ireland in 2015 to work with another shoe specialist company, Tuttys Handmade Shoes.
Seeing an opening in the market for his specialised work and for your wellbeing, he decided to open his own business and can be located currently at 240, Merrion Road, Dublin 4 (01) 4434409 or appointment@pedorthist.ie
Sam is a pedorthist – ” What is a pedorthist? ” you might ask.
A pedorthist has studied the structure of the foot over many years and understands the effect of the feet both static (standing still) and dynamic (walking) on a person’s posture. So following 30 years of studying and working in this field we can now welcome him to Ireland. Sam has also completed studies in the diabetic foot.
“For over 30 years, I have aspired to satisfy
every one of my clients.
A product will therefore only leave my workshop once I am convinced that it meets
your exact requirements.
This is my promise.”
