Do I Need an Appointment to Visit the Waterford Footwear Shop?
✅ Browsing or buying footwear: no appointment needed — you're welcome to call in during opening hours.

📋 Foot & Gait Assessment: if you're experiencing ongoing foot or lower-limb discomfort, this should be booked in advance.
Foot & Gait Assessments and Custom Orthotics — Waterford Only
If you're experiencing ongoing foot discomfort or problems that may be influenced by how your feet function, our comprehensive Foot & Gait Assessment service may be an appropriate starting point.
Customers frequently seek our advice for concerns such as:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Heel and arch pain
- Achilles discomfort
- Shin splints
- Knee, hip or back pain where foot mechanics may be contributing factors
1
We assess
We examine foot structure, movement and pressure distribution to help identify potential mechanical contributors to your symptoms.
2
We recommend
Depending on the findings: appropriate footwear, foot support, custom orthotics, or exercises and practical advice.
3
Only what you need
Not every customer requires custom orthotics. Our aim is to understand your needs and recommend support where appropriate.
Comprehensive Foot & Gait Assessments and custom orthotic fittings are available at our Waterford location only and must be booked in advance.

Step Right Foot Clinic — Waterford
In addition to our footwear and assessment department, we operate a Foot Clinic upstairs at our Waterford premises at 8 Michael Street. Our Foot Clinic focuses on professional treatment and routine care for common skin and nail conditions.
Services include:
Corn & callus removal Ingrown toenail care Fungal nail treatments Verruca treatments Athlete's foot care Thick or painful nails Routine foot care
This is a different service from our Foot & Gait Assessment department.
For example, if you need help with a painful corn or an ingrown toenail, a Foot Clinic appointment is generally the appropriate booking. If you're concerned about recurring heel pain, foot mechanics or the need for orthotics, our Waterford Foot & Gait Assessment department may be more suitable.
Appointments are required for Waterford Foot Clinic treatments.

Travelling to Step Right from Outside Waterford?
Many of our customers travel from outside Waterford to visit us for specialist footwear advice, Foot & Gait Assessments and custom orthotics. Whether you're travelling from elsewhere in the South East or from further afield in Ireland, you're very welcome.
If you're considering a visit for an assessment, we recommend booking ahead so the appropriate time can be allocated for your appointment.
Can't Visit Waterford? Ask About Our Remote Insole Recommendation Service
We understand that travelling to Waterford isn't always convenient. For customers who cannot attend in person, we may be able to help with supportive insoles remotely.
Our remote foot review begins with a simple guide explaining how to photograph your feet. Our team reviews the photographs alongside information about your symptoms, footwear and intended use to help determine whether a suitable insole may be appropriate.
A remote review has limitations and does not replace a comprehensive in-person Foot & Gait Assessment or medical examination. In some cases, we may recommend an in-person assessment instead.
Message us on WhatsApp about remote insoles
Please use WhatsApp specifically for remote insole enquiries. For general questions, email hello@stepright.ie.
