I'm about to set up my business "Andred Podiatry" which will be as vegan as I can possibly make it, I'll be using herbal foot creams etc and will have leaflets listing all the vegan shoe stores and so on that I can find. I'll be building it up slowly over the next 2 years as I'll also be working for the NHS to gain valuable experience. I'll mainly be doing biomechanical assessments, foot surgery, prescribing orthotics and working in conjunction with a local herbalist to treat common foot problems. Anyhow all that is yet to come.
The good news is I have persuaded the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists that we are all behind the times in not promoting vegan/vegetarian products and that this is a growing area that cannot be ignored. They have asked me to do a write up on their website:
http://www.feetforlife.org/
which I will be researching and doing over the next few weeks and adding to as I find new products. Initially it will feature shoes suitable for podiatric patients. So look out for it in a few weeks time!
I am featuring three vegan shoe stores to start off with who I think fit the criteria, I am just waiting for them to send me further details.
I have had a great deal of trouble finding children's shoes in width fittings, so if anyone knows where vegan childrens shoes can be found in width fittings please let me know.
