APodC endorsement - Ascent

Back to School 2014

To parents of Australian school children,

Your children's feet are important. Children are in their school shoes for many of their formative years and we know how critical it is to have good quality shoes for growing feet.

We chose to exclusively endorse Ascent School Shoes after our expert assessment of the Ascent product.

We have chosen to put our name alongside the Ascent name so that you the parent can buy school shoes with confidence.

We have joined with Ascent knowing that their school shoes represent good value and most importantly, they will provide the right fit, support and comfort for your child's precious feet.

We recommend Ascent School Shoes, the only school shoe endorsed by the Australasian Podiatry Council, for your child.

Remember; if your child has problems with their feet, Australian Podiatry Association members are experts in foot health.

If no II feet are the same – then why are shoes sold as pairs?

At the Australasian Podiatry Council (APodC) we know many patients have mismatched feet (over 60%).

This means they may be obliged to pay for two pairs of shoes, and mix and match them to ensure comfort and fit; vital for good foot health.

In the case of diabetes, sometimes full or partial foot amputation will have occurred, but two shoes must still be purchased to meet the patient’s need. It is an unwelcome expense for patients, who are already suffering with their condition and whose place in the workforce may be challenged.

The IIFit range of shoes can be sold as a traditional pair (size 7 left and size 7 right) – or a mismatched pair (size 7 left and size 10 right) at no extra cost or, as an individual shoe (left or right) at half the price of a pair.

Selling shoes as an individual size left and right, rather than a traditional pair, helps achieve a customised fit without the customer being required to pay for a custom made shoe, or endure a wait, as the shoes are in store.

We support Ascent’s IIFit service to highlight its worth and efficacy – it represents great value and service for podiatry patients.

We joined with Ascent knowing the service offers extremely good value for Australian patients and we are confident that will also be the case in any market around the world.

We recommend the Ascent IIFit service, the only service of its kind endorsed by the APodC.

Podiatrists are experts in foot health and we have no doubt this endorsement will carry weight in any market where podiatry is recognised.
