We’re people people. It kind of goes hand-in-hand (or is that foot-in-foot!?) with what we strive to do each day: Help folks solve foot-related health issues through one-on-one service and advanced footwear support solutions.
However, helping our beloved Southern Alberta communities stay mobile is just part of it. Assisting young people is dear to our hearts, and that’s why we support local children. Through our Happy Soles Program, we supply less-fortunate kids in the community with new, supportive footwear – so they can run and jump and play with some pretty great kicks!
We strive to bring the highest standards in products, technology, and fitting expertise. We take an orthopedic approach, utilizing our pedorthic background to advise the best possible chance of success in wherever your next steps take you. This idea is what has carried Shoe Solutions through the past 15 years and what drives it to this day! We continue to push ahead, growing and learning, but always keeping service, quality, and the customers’ experience above all else.
