Aged Care Footwear Fitting Pop-Ups

Based in Adelaide, Veos brings a free mobile footwear fitting service to nursing homes, retirement villages and independent living communities Australia wide. Every fitting is conducted by a qualified podiatrist, who measures and fits each resident properly, helps them find shoes, slides and socks for older feet that feel comfortable and safe to walk in every day, and is on hand to answer any foot health questions residents, families or staff might have.

Many older people are wearing footwear that no longer fits, has worn out, or was never right for their feet in the first place. Getting to a shoe store is not always easy for residents, so we bring the fitting to them. A proper fitting in a familiar setting takes the stress out of it for residents, families and staff.

How Our Aged Care Footwear Fitting Pop-Ups Work

1. We set up in a common area: A lounge, activity room or dining space works well. We bring everything we need, including stock in every size and width.
2. A podiatrist measures and fits each resident one by one: We check length, width and any swelling, bunions or sensitive areas, then try on options until the fit feels right.
3. Residents can ask the podiatrist anything: From sore feet and swelling to which shoe suits their walking, residents and staff can raise any foot questions during the visit.
4. Residents try before they buy: There is no obligation to purchase. Anyone who wants to take a pair home can pay on the day, have it invoiced to their next of kin, or have it paid through their Home Care Package, NDIS or DVA funding.
5. Staff get simple guidance: We leave notes on each resident's fit so care staff and families know what to look for next time.

Footwear We Fit for Older Adults

• Veos Neos All-Comfort Shoe: Our main fitting shoe. A closed-heel, accommodating shoe with extra room for swelling, bunions and wider feet. Other shoe styles may also be available on the day, depending on stock.
