Expert Orthopedic Footwear
Conditions We Treat
From chronic foot pain to diabetic footwear needs, our specialists understand what your feet are going through — and how to help.
The Right Shoe Changes Everything
Foot problems affect millions of people every day, yet many go unaddressed simply because finding the right footwear feels overwhelming. At Foot and Shoe Solutions, we've spent years helping people in The Woodlands and Houston find shoes that don't just fit — they heal, support, and restore confidence.
Our certified fitters are trained to assess your specific condition and match you with footwear that addresses the root cause of your discomfort. We import shoes from family-owned manufacturers overseas in a wide range of widths and sizes, and our in-house orthopedic specialist custom-fabricates shoes produced in Portugal — built entirely for your individual foot. Because every custom piece is made specifically for you, there is a production waiting period that varies from person to person; your specialist will give you a clear timeframe at your consultation. The consultation fee is waived with any orthopedic-related purchase.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, caused by inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. The stabbing pain is often worst with your first steps in the morning.
Common symptoms
- Sharp heel pain, especially in the morning
- Pain after long periods of standing
- Aching arch throughout the day
- Discomfort after exercise
How we help
We fit you with shoes featuring deep heel cups, firm arch support, and cushioned midsoles that reduce stress on the plantar fascia. Available in a wide range of widths and sizes. For severe cases, our specialist can custom-fabricate orthotics or a fully custom shoe made in Portugal — please note that custom orders have a production waiting period that varies by individual.
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes can cause nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation, making proper footwear critical. The wrong shoe can lead to blisters, ulcers, and serious complications. The right one protects and prevents.
Common symptoms
- Numbness or tingling in feet
- Reduced sensation making pressure sores undetected
- Swelling that changes fit throughout the day
- Increased risk of infection from minor irritations
How we help
We carry diabetic footwear with extra depth, seamless interiors, and soft, non-binding uppers — imported from family-owned makers in a wide range of widths and sizes. For the most complex cases, our specialist can produce a fully custom shoe made in Portugal, built precisely for your foot. Custom orders have a production waiting period that varies by individual.
Bunions
A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, causing the toe to deviate toward the others. Tight or narrow shoes worsen the condition and cause significant pain.
Common symptoms
- Bony bump at the base of the big toe
- Swelling, redness, or soreness around the joint
- Restricted movement of the big toe
- Corns or calluses where toes overlap
How we help
Wide-toe-box shoes with soft, flexible uppers relieve pressure on the bunion. We stock styles in a wide range of widths from family-owned overseas makers, and our specialist can custom-fabricate a shoe in Portugal built precisely around your foot shape. Custom orders have a production waiting period that varies by individual.
Arthritis
Arthritis in the feet causes joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain that can make every step a challenge. Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis commonly affect the feet and ankles.
Common symptoms
- Joint pain and stiffness, especially in the morning
- Swelling around foot and ankle joints
- Difficulty walking or bearing weight
- Reduced range of motion in toes or ankles
How we help
Rocker-bottom soles reduce joint stress with each step. We carry cushioned, supportive footwear in a wide range of widths and sizes, and can custom-fabricate shoes in Portugal for patients who need a truly individual fit. Custom orders have a production waiting period that varies by individual.
Flat Feet & Overpronation
Flat feet (fallen arches) cause the entire sole to contact the ground, leading to overpronation — an inward rolling of the foot that stresses the ankles, knees, and hips.
Common symptoms
- Foot fatigue after standing or walking
- Pain in the arch, heel, or ankle
- Knee and lower back pain
- Uneven shoe wear on the inner edge
How we help
Motion-control and stability shoes with built-in arch support correct overpronation. We import styles in an extensive range of widths and sizes, and custom orthotics or fully custom shoes made in Portugal are available for more complex cases. Custom orders have a production waiting period that varies by individual.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy causes weakness, numbness, and pain — usually in the hands and feet. It's often a complication of diabetes but can result from other conditions or injuries.
Common symptoms
- Burning or tingling sensation in feet
- Extreme sensitivity to touch
- Numbness that affects balance
- Sharp, jabbing pain
How we help
Extra-depth shoes with soft, seamless linings protect sensitive feet from pressure and friction. We carry a wide range of widths and sizes from family-owned overseas makers, and our specialist can produce a fully custom shoe in Portugal for patients who need the most precise fit possible. Custom orders have a production waiting period that varies by individual.
Insurance & Payment
We do not work directly with insurance companies, but we can provide a detailed medical bill upon request. You may submit this to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement — many plans cover orthopedic footwear and custom orthotics.
