Custom Shoes from Basel Orthopedics René Ruepp

If orthopedic shoe inserts or orthopedic shoe adjustments cannot achieve an appropriate walking function in the long term, custom-made shoes from the orthopedic master shoemaker are the optimal solution. The orthopedic custom-made shoe is a shoe that is specially adapted to the needs of the foot, which is made on the basis of a personal last and into which orthopedic construction elements are incorporated in order to respond individually to the long-term illnesses and limitations of the patient. In addition to the right choice of upper model, the customer can also decide on the model and color combination and thus receive a comfortable and visually appealing shoe.
