Description:
Shippy Shoes was started by Frank Shippy in 1914 and for over 100 years we have been dedicated to the central Wisconsin area. Shippy Shoes works closely with doctors and physical therapists providing foot care solutions to help meet the needs of their patients.
Through gait analysis, board certified pedorthists including Frank’s grandson, Jim Shippy, are able to help you select the right shoe and fit for your lifestyle. Adding to board certified pedorthists, Andrew now brings a degree in kinesiology with a background in biomechanics and functional anatomy.
We stock many over the counter inserts from several leading companies, such as Cadence, New Balance, Vionic, Super Feet, and Aetrex. These prefabricated inserts provide different levels of correction to accomodate your individual foot. They may provide relief for various ailments such as plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, neuromas, knee, hip and back pain.
Athletic shoes have become more technical than they were in the past. They are designed to accommodate or control motion in several specific foot types. Various density levels and last shapes are utilized to achieve proper gait alignment. The improper shoe for your foot type can complicate healing or even cause a new problem. In addition to providing the right shoe and fit, we stock toe straighteners, toe caps, metatarsal pads, heel wedges, met bars, and lifts.
