(c)        Any reports on factors contributing to your foot problems

EXAMPLES OF FOOTWEAR

            Studying current and past shoes can give important information to us
            about what works and what doesnt work and why.

            most comfortable shoes, least comfortable, most worn shoes, special
            function shoes

WHAT ELSE IS USEFUL?

        Information on foot changes
            such as if your foot swells a great deal, a measurement of when it is
            swollen, and when it is not is helpful. Further information can be
            given to you when you make the appointment.

        Information on any special needs or circumstances
            sometimes in an consultation people forget to mention special
            problems they have or features they want, and sometimes it is only
            after shoes are made that you remember. Thinking about this before
            the appointment and jotting down any points can be very helpful.

        Any questions or issues
            It is useful to jot down these before your appointment so you can
            discuss them with us.
